We believe business owners shouldn't need to be tech experts
Founded in 2024, JobByText is on a mission to give field service professionals their time back. We build AI that handles the admin so you can focus on the work you love.
Our Story
JobByText was born from frustration. Our founder, Jordan Foster, spent years as a plumber, watching calls go to voicemail while he was under sinks, missing jobs because he couldn't keep up with the admin, and dreading the evening paperwork sessions.
He tried every app and software solution on the market. They all required learning curves, constant attention, and time he didn't have. The tools meant to help were becoming another burden.
The breakthrough came from a simple question: What if you could run your entire business through text messages? No apps to open, no dashboards to check, no software to learn. Just natural conversation with an AI that handles everything behind the scenes.
That's JobByText. We're a small team of engineers, designers, and people who've actually worked in the trades, and we're building this the way we wish someone had built it for us. We're only getting started.

Relentless Improvement
We ship fast, learn constantly, and iterate based on real feedback from real users. Good enough is never good enough.
