What won’t Emma do without my OK?

The short answer

Emma won’t spend your money without your OK. Ads and postcards wait for you, and nothing mails until you approve the price. She won’t confirm a job time for you or quote a price you didn’t give her. She won’t promise a start date or a same-day visit unless you told her to. Nothing irreversible happens without you in the loop.

Who it’s for: Owners who want help with the office but keep the final word on money and promises.

What you see before anything happens

Before a postcard drop, you see the household count and the total for print and postage. Nothing mails until you approve it.
Before a ChatGPT ad runs (coming in November), you can change any word, and you never pay more than your budget.
After a call, you get a pre-scheduled time to confirm, not a done deal.
When a caller asks something you never told her, the question comes to you by text.

Your never-promise list

During setup, Emma asks what you never want promised. A tree service may never promise same-day removal. A remodeler may never give a start date on the phone. She holds to that list on every call. Everything she’s allowed to tell a caller came from you, and you can read all of it in your workspace.

What it costs

Approving things costs nothing. You pay only for what runs, from your token balance. Ads are your ad spend plus 30%. Postcards are about 53 cents delivered.

What it won’t do

You choose your ad amounts and can change them any time. Cancel and your ads stop at once.
Mail you haven’t approved never goes out.
Emma never texts your job applicants. They come to you, and you call the ones you like.
Auto-refill can be turned off any time from your workspace.

An example

An electrician gets a text from Emma about a postcard drop around last week’s panel upgrade. It shows the household count and the total price. He’s in a crawl space, so it waits. It doesn’t print or mail until he taps approve that evening.

Common questions

Does Emma book jobs without me?

No. She pre-schedules a time with the caller and tells them you'll confirm it. She never states a time as confirmed on your behalf.

Who sets my ad budget?

You do. You choose the amounts and can change them or stop any time from your dashboard.

Will Emma give a price on the phone?

Only a price you gave her. She never invents a price, a date or a policy.

What does Emma do without asking?

The routine work. She answers calls you can't take, sends you every message and makes the website changes you ask for.
