Question 1

What exactly is Hulo and who is it for?

Accepted Answer

Hulo is an all-in-one AI-powered business platform built specifically for blue-collar trade businesses — roofers, plumbers, landscapers, car detailers, pressure washers, HVAC technicians, electricians, painters, and more. If you run a service-based business where you go to the customer's location, Hulo was designed for you. It replaces your website builder, CRM, scheduling software, and invoicing tool with a single platform you control through an AI chatbot. No more juggling 5 different apps and subscriptions.

Question 2

How does the AI website builder work? Do I need any tech skills?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely zero tech skills required. When you sign up, Hulo's AI asks you a few questions about your business — your trade, location, services, and pricing. Within 60 seconds, it generates a complete, professional website with your branding, service descriptions, a contact form, and a booking page. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-ready right out of the box. After it's built, you can make changes at any time through the website editor or simply tell the AI chatbot what you want changed — for example, 'Add a new service: window cleaning for $99' — and it updates the site instantly. No HTML, no coding, no developer needed.

Question 3

What makes the AI chatbot different from just using a regular app?

Accepted Answer

Traditional business apps require you to navigate menus, fill out forms, and remember where everything is. Hulo's AI lets you manage your entire business through natural conversation — the same way you'd text a business manager. You can say 'What jobs do I have tomorrow?', 'Send the invoice to Mike for the ceramic coating job', 'Create a quote for Sarah — full detail and paint correction, $499', or 'Show me my revenue this month'. The AI understands context, remembers your customers, and takes actions immediately. It's like having a 24/7 office manager who never sleeps and never makes you wait on hold.

Question 4

How does the CRM work? I'm not a tech person and hate complicated software.

Accepted Answer

Hulo's CRM is built for tradespeople, not tech companies. When a customer fills out the form on your website, they automatically appear in your CRM — no manual entry needed. You can see every customer's full history: every job you've done for them, every quote, every payment, and any notes you've added. The pipeline view shows you exactly where every lead stands: new inquiry → quote sent → job scheduled → invoice paid. The AI chatbot can look up any customer instantly, tell you who hasn't paid, and remind you who needs a follow-up. Think of it as a super-organized filing cabinet that never loses anything.

Question 5

Can customers book jobs directly online? What does that look like for them?

Accepted Answer

Yes — your Hulo website includes a booking page that customers can use 24/7, even at 2 AM when they're panicking about a burst pipe or trying to book a detail for the weekend. Customers select a service, choose a date and time from your availability, and fill in their details. You get an instant notification and it goes straight into your calendar. No phone tag, no back-and-forth texts. If you connect Google Calendar, your Hulo schedule syncs automatically so there are zero double-bookings. Customers also receive an automatic text confirmation, which cuts no-shows by up to 60% according to our early users.

Question 6

How does invoicing and getting paid work?

Accepted Answer

Hulo connects with Stripe to make getting paid simple. When a job is complete, you (or the AI) can generate an invoice in under 30 seconds. The invoice includes a payment link that customers can use to pay via credit card or ACH bank transfer — no app download required on their end. They get an email with the link and can pay from their phone. You get notified the moment payment comes through. If someone doesn't pay, Hulo sends automatic reminders so you don't have to chase anyone down yourself. There's a 2.99% platform fee on invoice payments plus standard Stripe processing fees. No hidden monthly charges.

Question 7

Is there a free trial? Do I need a credit card to start?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Hulo comes with a 14-day free trial — no credit card required. You can build your website, set up your CRM, and start scheduling jobs before you pay anything. After 14 days, it's $49.99/month for everything — website, CRM, scheduling, invoicing, and the AI assistant. There's no long-term contract and you can cancel month-to-month at any time. We believe the platform should prove its value before you pay for it, so we want you to actually use it first.

Question 8

What happens to my website and customer data if I cancel?

Accepted Answer

Your data is 100% yours. Before canceling, you can export all of your customer records, job history, and invoice data in standard formats (CSV). Your website will go offline 30 days after cancellation, giving you time to migrate to another provider if needed. We will permanently delete your data from our servers within 30 days of account closure. We never sell your data to third parties. Your customer list and job history belong to you — we're just the platform that helps you manage it.

Question 9

Can I use my own domain name for the website?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. You can either use a free subdomain like yourbusiness.hulotrade.com right away, or connect your own custom domain (e.g., yourbusiness.com) through your domain registrar (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Google Domains, etc.). We provide step-by-step instructions for connecting your domain, and free SSL (the padlock in the browser) is included automatically. Most domain connections are live within a few minutes to a few hours depending on your registrar.

Question 10

Does Hulo work for all types of trade businesses?

Accepted Answer

Hulo is designed for any service-based trade where you travel to the customer's location. This includes roofing, plumbing, HVAC, car detailing, pressure washing, landscaping, lawn care, pool service, painting, electrical, cleaning services, pest control, handyman services, carpet cleaning, window cleaning, and many more. The AI website builder includes industry-specific templates and service descriptions for the most common trades. If your trade isn't specifically listed, the AI is smart enough to adapt — just describe what you do and it builds accordingly.

Question 11

How does the AI handle scheduling conflicts and availability?

Accepted Answer

Hulo lets you set your working hours, days off, and maximum daily jobs. When customers book online, they only see times when you're available — so double-booking is impossible. If you connect Google Calendar, Hulo syncs bidirectionally: personal appointments block your availability and new Hulo jobs appear on your Google Calendar automatically. The AI chatbot knows your full schedule and can answer questions like 'What's my schedule for Thursday?' or 'Can I fit in another job next Tuesday at noon?' — and give you an accurate answer instantly.

Question 12

Is my customer data secure? Where is it stored?

Accepted Answer

Hulo uses Supabase for data storage, which runs on industry-standard cloud infrastructure (AWS) with encryption at rest and in transit. All data is backed up daily. We use Supabase Auth for authentication, which follows OAuth 2.0 and JWT standards. Payments are processed through Stripe, which is PCI DSS Level 1 certified — the highest level of payment security. We never store raw credit card numbers. Your customer contact information is stored securely in a private database accessible only to your account.

Question 13

What's the difference between Hulo and Jobber or other trade software?

Accepted Answer

Jobber is a powerful tool, but it starts at $49/month just for basic features, requires significant setup time, and doesn't include a website builder or AI assistant. You'd still need to pay separately for a website (Durable ~$25/mo), invoicing (FreshBooks ~$30/mo), and booking (Calendly ~$12/mo) — that's $116+ per month before you get everything Hulo includes. More importantly, Jobber and similar tools require you to navigate their software manually. Hulo's AI agent means you can run your entire business through conversation — creating quotes, checking your schedule, sending invoices — without ever clicking through menus. It's the same functionality, but 10x faster to operate day-to-day.
