What it is:
This is a demo of an agentic onboarding flow for customers wanting to get their homes painted.
It’s a simple onboarding flow that collects the user’s info, coordinates scheduling, generates a confirmation & assigns the job all in one chat.

Why I built it:
1) Great home services operators know that a missed call means a job lost to your competitor. Lua’s built a set of agents to solve this. It’s one of the simplest uses of Lua but a great starting point for nearly any business looking to improve their bottom line with AI.
2) I usually share side projects, but I’m posting this one largely out of nostalgia. After a wonderful and crazy last 14 months leading growth at Lua, I’ve decided to step out onto my own journey at the end of the month (more to come on that later), but I leave Lua optimistic about its future & cheering for the exceptional team and the company’s long-term growth. We’ve grown from 1 to 5,000+ agents live, and that number is only continuing to accelerate!
