Voice AI for the Trades Economy
Australian tradies lose almost two full working days every week to quoting, invoicing, scheduling, and chasing payments — at the kitchen table, at 9pm, instead of earning. Raduga Tech builds voice AI that automates the admin, so every sole operator runs like a company with a full back office.
See What We're BuildingThe Problem
Construction is the largest small business sector in Australia — 17% of all registered businesses. These aren't companies with admin teams. They're electricians, plumbers, builders, and HVAC techs running the entire operation solo or with a handful of staff.
They spend 10–15 hours every week on quoting, invoicing, scheduling, chasing payments, and compliance paperwork. That's almost two full working days not earning revenue. At $95–$120/hr, the maths is brutal: the admin costs more than a full-time employee would, but it's invisible because the tradie absorbs it with their evenings and weekends.
68% of sole traders still do bookkeeping by hand. Quotes get written on the back of receipts. Invoices go out days or weeks late. Payments slip through the cracks. The existing tools — ServiceM8, Tradify, Jobber, simPRO — help, but they're all screen-based apps that demand time a tradie on site simply doesn't have.
Our Approach
Raduga Tech builds AI that automates trade business admin by voice — quoting, scheduling, invoicing, payments — designed for the way these businesses actually operate.
Natural Australian English. Tradies log jobs, send quotes, and check schedules by talking — while driving, on site, or between jobs. No screen, no typing, no app to stare at.
Generic AI doesn't know a progress claim from a variation. Our models are built on trade workflows, Australian compliance, and the language tradies actually use.
Say "log a job for Sarah, Monday, hot water system" and Bazza creates the job, schedules it, sends the customer a confirmation, and queues the invoice. No double entry. No admin.
Flagship Product
Not a pitch deck. A working product. Hey Bazza is a voice AI assistant that automates the admin that eats tradie evenings and weekends — jobs, quotes, scheduling, payments, customer communication — entirely by voice.
Log jobs, create quotes, update status, check schedules — entirely by voice. Works hands-free while driving, on site, or between jobs. No screen, no typing.
Generate invoices, track payments, send reminders — automated and integrated with Stripe. The end of chasing payments from the kitchen table at 9pm.
Bookings, calendar management, customer confirmations, and follow-ups — automated from a single voice command. One action triggers the full workflow.
On the roadmap: AI receptionist
Phase 2 extends Hey Bazza to answer inbound customer calls when a tradie can't — taking enquiries, booking jobs, and sending confirmations automatically. Addressing the $8 billion Australian businesses lose annually to missed calls.
The Opportunity
The admin burden on small trade operators isn't unique to Australia — it's a structural problem in every market where construction is dominated by small businesses. The same pain exists in the US, UK, Ireland, and Canada.
Our model scales: localise the voice AI for regional language and compliance, deploy on the same infrastructure, and reach operators in Texas, Dublin, or Toronto who have the exact same problem.
Australia's $242 billion infrastructure pipeline and 300,000-worker shortfall make it the ideal proving ground — high demand, acute pain, and a tech-forward small business culture that adopts faster than most.
