The AI Tool Built for Australian Tradies

They removed the paper.
We're removing the pen.

Australian built. Free download. No credit card required.

CRMs removed the paper. You still need the pen.

Trade software digitised the paperwork. Great. But every tool on the market still makes you do the data entry. Client name here. Address there. Add a line item. Type a description. Enter the price. Repeat. Whether it's a quote, an invoice, a SWMS, or a purchase order -you're still filling in fields, one by one, on a screen instead of a page.

TalkTrade removes the pen. Rough notes on your phone, a voice message on the drive home, scribbled shorthand -that's the input. AI turns however you describe the job into the finished document. You don't fill in forms. You just describe work, the same way you already do every day.

#1
reason tradies abandon software: too much data entry

They digitised the form. This AI tool replaced it.

  5. Type a description that sounds professional
  6. Enter quantity and unit price
  7. Repeat for every line item
  8. Check the GST calculation
  9. Generate PDF, send
  10. Now open a separate SWMS app or template
  11. Re-enter the job details, site address, trade type

  13. Now open a PO template or spreadsheet
  14. Re-type the materials and prices from your quote
  15. Send that too

TalkTrade

  1. Describe the job however you want
  2. Need a PO or SWMS? Generate it from the same info
  3. Send

Your voice is the input. AI builds the document.

Type some quick notes, record a voice message, or any combination. Pick the document type -quote, invoice, SWMS, or purchase order -and AI handles the structure, line items, maths, GST, and formatting.

1

Describe the job

However you normally would. Quick notes on your phone, a voice message on the drive home, dot points, shorthand, Aussie slang. Pick the document type you need -quote, invoice, SWMS, or PO. No forms to fill out, no templates, no dropdowns.

2

AI does the rest

TalkTrade's AI works out the line items, writes professional descriptions, does the maths, and handles GST. Need a PO from a quote? A SWMS pre-filled with hazards? An invoice from an existing quote? Documents generate from each other -no re-entering anything.

3

Glance and send

Check it looks right, hit send. Branded PDF -quote, invoice, SWMS, or PO -goes straight where it needs to. Done before you've left the site.

Quote with confidence, not guesswork

Pricing Assist

After generating a quote, tap Pricing Assist for an instant AI-powered analysis of your pricing. Every line item gets a traffic-light rating based on current Australian market rates for your trade.

  • Green - healthy margins, you're in the right range
  • Orange - low margin, might want to review
  • Red - below cost, you're losing money on this line

It flags commonly missed items you should add, checks compliance requirements for your state, and gives you a plain-English summary of where your quote sits overall. Edit a price and it updates to "stale" so you know to re-check. Like having a second set of eyes on every quote before it goes out the door.

Medium confidence
Pricing Assist BETA
Pricing is significantly undercut across all line items - you're leaving money on the table, particularly on labour and materials.
Line Items
Demolition of existing bathroom [Labour]
$30/hr is well below market. Market rate would be $260-600 for the same work.
✎ Edit
Waterproofing membrane application [Fixed]
At $45/unit, this is below supply cost. Waterproofing a 3x4m bathroom is typically $200-400 in labour alone.
✎ Edit
Supply and install tapware [Fixed]
$850 is within market range for standard bathroom tapware supply and installation.
✎ Edit
Commonly Missed
+
Surface preparation
Post-demolition substrate work - patching, levelling, cleaning.
+ Add
+
Silicone sealant (wet areas)
Corners, wall-to-floor junctions, around fixtures. This is a consumable line item.
+ Add

Site cleanup and waste removal
Demolition generates significant waste. Should be a separate item.

Built in Australia for how tradies actually work

Describe it however you want

Rough notes on your phone, a voice message between jobs, scribbled shorthand -that's your input. TalkTrade figures out the rest. No forms, no dropdowns, no templates to fight with.

AI that understands trade language

Write "gyprock" and it outputs plasterboard sheeting. Type "two and a half grand" and it enters $2,500.00. Trained on 270+ trade terms and Australian pricing conventions.

GST done automatically

Line totals, subtotals, 10% GST, and total inc. GST -calculated to Australian tax standards every time. No spreadsheet formulas, no manual maths.

Branded PDF documents

Your business name, ABN, and contact details on every document -quotes, invoices, SWMS, purchase orders. Formatted for Australian standards, looks like you spent an hour on it.

AI catches what you miss

Flags missing info, unusual pricing, unclear descriptions, and possible duplicates before the document goes out. Fewer follow-up calls, fewer mistakes.

AI that gets smarter over time

TalkTrade's AI learns your standard rates -call-out fees, hourly labour, common materials. The more documents you generate, the more prices fill themselves in. All stored on your device, never shared.

Documents that feed each other

Describe the job once. TalkTrade generates the rest from what already exists. No re-entering details, no copy-pasting between apps, no starting from scratch.

Quote to Invoice

Job's done? Toggle your quote straight to an invoice. Same line items, same client, same totals. One tap.

Quote to Purchase Order

Hit "Generate From" on a new PO and select your quote. Materials and prices pull straight across. No retyping supplier lists or looking up costs.

Job info to SWMS

Start a SWMS and it pre-fills hazards, risk ratings, and controls based on your selected trade and the job details you've already described. Safety docs without the busywork.

Whether you're on the tools or behind the desk

Tradies

Electricians, plumbers, carpenters, painters, tilers, concreters, roofers -any Aussie tradie sick of data entry. Quotes, invoices, SWMS, purchase orders -describe the job however you want and the document builds itself. Done before you drive away.

Bookkeepers & Office Managers

Processing paperwork for a team of tradies? TalkTrade means they send you structured quotes, invoices, and purchase orders instead of a voice memo and a scrawled notepad photo. Less time chasing details, more time keeping the books clean.

Trade Organisations

Industry bodies, franchises, and trade groups looking to give members a practical tool that actually gets used. Simple onboarding, immediate value, and consistent professional output across your network.

Everything you need to know

TalkTrade is completely free. No credit card, no trial period, no hidden fees. Download it and start generating documents straight away. We're focused on building the best AI tool for Australian tradies first - pricing for premium features may come later, but the core app is free.

Yes. Your business details and pricing data are stored locally on your device. We use industry-standard encryption for any data in transit. Your quotes, invoices, and client details are yours - we don't sell or share your information with anyone.

Any trade. Electricians, plumbers, carpenters, painters, tilers, concreters, roofers, landscapers, HVAC, fencing - if you do a job and need to quote it, invoice it, or write a SWMS for it, TalkTrade handles it. The AI understands 270+ Australian trade terms and slang across all major trades.

Very. The AI is trained on Australian trade terminology, pricing conventions, and document standards. It flags anything it's unsure about before the document goes out - unusual pricing, missing info, unclear descriptions. You always review before sending. The more you use it, the better it gets at your specific rates and style.

Your business name, ABN, licence number, and contact details appear on every document automatically. The layout is clean and professional - formatted to Australian standards so your quotes and invoices look like they came from a proper office, not a phone app.

You need a connection to generate documents since the AI processing happens in the cloud. But you can draft your notes offline and generate when you're back in range - handy for remote job sites. Your saved documents are always available on your device.

TalkTrade as your engine

Run a field service platform, job management tool, or trade marketplace? TalkTrade's core engine is available as a white-label API. One endpoint -send unstructured input, get structured quotes, invoices, SWMS, or purchase orders back.

  • White-label ready. Your branding, your UX, your platform. TalkTrade is invisible to your end users. No competing app, no redirect.
  • One API endpoint. Send a transcript or text blob, get structured JSON back. No SDK to install, no model to train, no infrastructure to maintain.
  • Competitive advantage. Let your users describe jobs in plain language instead of filling out forms. Differentiate your platform, reduce churn, keep tradies engaged.
  • Australian trade data built in. 270+ slang terms, 180+ material prices, labour rates across all major trades. You get domain knowledge without building it yourself.
