You didn't get into building
to do admin.

No. Sam plugs into the tools you're already using: AroFlo, BuildXact, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Xero. Nothing to migrate, no retraining. And if you don't have a job management platform yet (or want a free one), Footing comes free with every Sam subscription.

Those are systems of record. They store your jobs, quotes, and invoices, when you remember to log them. In reality most of the work lives in email, spreadsheets, drive, and someone's memory. Sam works with the data where it actually lives, not where it's supposed to be. It reads your inbox, drafts replies, updates the spreadsheets, chases subbies, and keeps the job software in sync. They hold the data; Sam does the coordination.

Because a chatbot starts from a blank box every time. Sam already knows your business: your jobs, your clients, your prices, your suppliers, and how you like things done. It works inside your real inbox and tools, watching what comes in and teeing up the next step on its own. You're not copying emails into a chat window and re-explaining your business every time you need something done.

No. Never. Sam drafts everything and waits. Nothing gets sent, updated, or logged without you tapping approve. Every action is logged, every approval is yours. If that ever changes, you'll be the one to change it.

No. Days, not months. Connect your email and tools, Sam starts building project context immediately. No data migration, no manual setup, no retraining your team. You'll see drafts the first week.

Gmail, Outlook, Google Sheets, Excel, AroFlo, Xero, and Google Drive. More integrations are added based on what our pilot builders use. Sam also pairs with Footing, our open-source job management platform, included free with every Sam subscription.

Sam works fine with AroFlo, BuildXact, Xero, and the tools you've got. But those platforms have their own limits on what an outside system can touch. On Footing, Sam runs the whole job: quoting, scheduling, invoicing, getting paid. No third-party platform sitting between Sam and the work. Footing is open-source and comes free with every Sam subscription when it launches. Not required. There if you want it.

All of you, in different ways. Builders log variations and chase trades on the go. Office managers keep emails, spreadsheets, and AroFlo in sync from the desk. Directors and project leads spot blockers before they cost a day on site. Same Sam, different jobs.

A fraction of what a part-time admin costs, scaled to your team size and active projects. Book a 15-min demo and we'll talk through what makes sense for you. No obligation.

Yes. Scoped permissions, short-lived credentials, and full audit logging, so every action Sam takes is recorded. That cuts both ways in your favour: you've always got a clean record of what was agreed and when, which is the difference between winning and losing a "he said, she said" dispute over a variation. Your data stays in your region.

Always. Email Kosta directly at kosta@folkware.com.au. No assistant, no chatbot. You'll hear back from the founder.
