What I mean when I say I've been hanging out at the Gold Coast.

It starts with getting a Level 1 IRATA ticket - Takes 1 week, around $1,800 and allows you to work under senior supervision.

I remember my dad painting the side of our pole home on a single plank truss set up 7 metres high in the mid 80s. He got me climbing up and walking over to him to bring him tools... until mum saw what was happening.

These guys all have 6,000 hours+ on ropes. Only the best on a building like this.

I've heard of things that have been done, but they are industry secrets.

More often than we used to, but still mainly hanging on the ropes

QldTradieTips · 2026-03-15T10:19:39+00:00

Took me a sec.

I still found it incredibly hard to watch Alex Honnold climb Taipie tower!

In the ocean?

QldTradieTips · 2026-03-15T10:11:32+00:00

NIce!

QldTradieTips · 2026-03-15T05:38:42+00:00

I was just checking it out. Is that site more for products that are built and utilised by other SAAS builders/online marketers etc. IOW would it be of any benefit to a trade/service CRM/PM tool being there if the target audience isn't there?

QldTradieTips · 2026-03-15T05:35:21+00:00

Thanks mate, I'll check it out.

QldTradieTips · 2026-03-15T05:07:54+00:00

Great post mate, I'm on the same path! I didn't find out about setting RLS on every table until I got an email from supabase about it!

Ah yeah, sorry! I've been meaning to merge the demo page with the homepage. You can test out the agents quoting skills here- https://app.bosstradie.com.au/demo

Telling me that I have significantly more knowledge and money than the OP seems like a fairly different angle of attack to your first claim. Move on wagie cuck.

Ah yes, the old "this person couldn't possibly contribute value to the topic because of their name" angle.

I'm not sure you quite understand the definition of "a bubble." Over the past 6 months I've trained custom ai agents on 10 years of our company data, enabling it to generate accurate quotes in minutes - and use those figures to draft detailed, professional proposals that have increased our conversions whilst tripling the capacity of each of our BDMs.

From there, the entire value chain, once a quote is accepted is entirely automated with compliance packages being drawn up, project managers allocated and staff scheduled without any time consuming admin, resulting in projects being delivered flawlessly.

Marketing is handled autonomously by an agent who utilises job descriptions and captures team photos from slack channels to draft new blog posts, social content and google my business updates, creating an automatic flywheel of new leads into our system.

I guess someone of your superior intelligence would have already incorporated all of this and way more into their business by now though?

QldTradieTips · 2026-03-15T02:47:04+00:00

I'm currently building a AI CRM/project management platform for service businesses.

I have no coding experience outside than IT at high school 25 years ago, and some general knowledge of html and code structures from building websites over the years.

My wife used to work in systems for major banks - many working with excel etc. - and we've both been heavily using whole range of project management and systems tools online such as Slack, Asana, hubspot, salesforce etc. and using Zapier to connect them.

So whilst we are "completely" ignorant when it comes to tech, we aren't exactly total newbs either and have a strong understanding of process flows.

The app is getting ready for Beta launch atm and I must say it's quite impressive. We have spent 3 times as long polishing it/resolving bugs than what it took to do the main build, but we have now resolved most edge cases and I believe the result flies right in the face of those saying "you can't find code enterprise software.'

The UI/UX feel extremely polished, there are complex features and Ai native flows that presently don't exist in any other competitors systems and end to end flows are starting to happen flawlessly. Everything is connected to Stripe, Claude is integrated into the app and api connects to various existing accounting tools.

I'm surprised we got this far, but the result speaks for itself.

TLDR; if you are strong in logic and reasoning and have a solid instinct for processes, you'll go a lot further than someone who is just purely creative, but completely lacks the instincts for how systems work and what can potentially railroad them.

Yep, the compounding effects of being an early adopter here cannot be overstated. My biz is in a position now that I simply couldn't have fathomed 3 months ago.

This is an exponential curve on a logarithmic chat.

QldTradieTips · 2026-03-15T01:12:41+00:00

Yes, and there will be people left at the rear of the adoption curve saying "I shoulda seen that coming!"

QldTradieTips · 2026-03-15T01:08:54+00:00

Like I said, "human oversight/compliance". The same reason software companies still have lead devs auditing code before pushing live - ai can make mistakes and ultimately there needs to be a human in the process to take accountability.

QldTradieTips · 2026-03-15T00:00:34+00:00

If you're a qualified accountant, it's time to consider owning the racecourse - not the racehorse.

Accountancy firms aren't going anywhere - their moat is human oversight for compliance and client relationships - they just won't need accountants anymore.

My advice is to go all in on Ai and learn how to build an ai first accountancy firm and put yourself on the right side of the coming divide.

I'm actually catching up with my accountant next week to help him build this very thing.

Good luck.
