I'm not a pure software founder. I've got about seven years in landscaping in Rhode Island — enough time on mowers and estimates to watch the same failure from both sides.
Customer UX is "call everyone and hope"
The homeowner path is still mostly search → call → repeat the job → wait. Ghosting after a verbal "yes" is common. So is the visit with no written estimate. People end up doing the work themselves after a week of dead ends. If you want local pricing context before another dial session, there's a lawn care costs guide for RI (context only).
Operator UX is "I'm the CRM"
Small shops and independents lose work when follow-up competes with actual field time. The lead that rang at noon is cold by dinner. Growth stalls not only on price — on capacity to manage addresses, prices, emails, and reminders.
Product bet
My Green Robot is the bet that both sides deserve a cleaner handoff: describe the job once; AI researches local RI pros, contacts them, returns written quotes. Owners get clearer demand and lighter lead ops. No claim that software replaces craft.
