Help Me Fix: Revolutionising Construction & Trades with AI-Powered Repairs

The construction and trades industries consistently face the challenge of managing a high volume of repair and service requests; an issue that often leads to increased costs, inefficiencies, and wasted resources. Help Me Fix offers a smarter, AI-powered solution designed to streamline diagnostic workflows, reduce unnecessary call-outs, and optimise first-time fix rates.

Understanding the Challenge

Whether it is general contractors or specialised plumbing and electrical firms, many businesses regularly despatch engineers to attend issues that could be diagnosed or even resolved remotely. Fuel expenses, travel time, and labour hours can quickly accumulate; especially if a job turns out to be less complex than initially reported. With demand continuing to grow, the industry needs a reliable way to reduce these operational burdens.

AI Diagnostics for Proactive Insights

One major component of the Help Me Fix approach is Aidenn; an AI-driven assistant designed to analyse photos, identify common faults, and guide users through possible solutions before they require an engineer on site. By detecting minor issues in heating systems, plumbing fixtures, and electrical equipment, the system aims to:

• Reduce call volume for routine problems
• Provide self-service repair guidance
• Escalate more complex issues to remote video triage

Users can learn more about Aidenn through Help Me Fix’s AI Solutions.

Video Triage for Efficiency

When the issue goes beyond basic troubleshooting, Help Me Fix enables customers to have a quick video call with experienced tradespeople. This practical approach helps reduce wasted site visits and speeds up the diagnostic process:

• Live video calls without complicated app installations
• Expert insight to pinpoint faults remotely
• Screen annotation and real-time translation
• Thorough photo and file sharing

Smart Job Routing

Upon confirming that a site visit is necessary, the system auto-generates a detailed assessment, passing the job to the most suitable engineer. This ensures that:

• The correct specialist arrives on site with the right materials
• Comprehensive PDF reports are created complete with images
• Wasteful call-outs are reduced significantly
• Integration is seamless with CRM and job management tools

An Ecosystem Built for Contractors

Aidenn – First-Line Diagnostic Tool

Aidenn handles immediate fault analysis and provides step-by-step instructions for simple repairs, particularly in common areas like heating, plumbing, and electrics. It also allows easy escalation to remote video if additional support is needed.

Remote Engineer Video Triage – Less Travel, More Impact

When AI-driven self-help options are insufficient, an engineer can triage issues over live video. This cost-effective method keeps trades teams mobile; attending only those jobs that truly require on-site intervention.

Contact Hub – A Centralised Control

From scheduling tasks to comprehensive reporting, Contact Hub provides contractors and facilities managers with real-time insights, automated workflows, and tangible data across all ongoing repairs. This holistic approach unites jobs, teams, and locations under one user-friendly interface.
