## What is TapeAndFloat?

An AI back-office assistant for the person who runs the office at a drywall sub or small GC. It keeps jobs, crews and money in a Google Sheet and calendars, and flags unbilled change orders, late invoices, Texas lien deadlines and double-booked crews.

## How much does it cost?

The 60-day pilot is free with no card. After that the planned price is $10-20 a month per company, not per user.

## Do I need to learn a new app?

No. You forward the texts, emails and voicemails you already get. Results land in a Google Sheet, crew calendars and a short daily note.

## Will it send messages to my GCs or crews on its own?

No. It drafts crew confirmations and payment reminders; nothing goes out without your OK.

## Does it work in Spanish?

Yes. You can forward messages in English or Spanish and get the daily note in either language.

## Is the lien date tracking legal advice?

No. It is a reminder based on Texas Property Code Chapter 53. Check specific jobs with your attorney. See our [lien deadline guide](https://tapeandfloat.com/guides/texas-lien-deadlines.html).

## Who can join the pilot?

Drywall subcontractors and small GCs with roughly 2-10 crews in the Austin area. Outside Texas? [Get on the list](https://tapeandfloat.com/contact.html) for when we open nationally.

## Does it replace QuickBooks?

No. It works alongside whatever you use today: notebook, whiteboard, spreadsheet or QuickBooks.

## What happens to my data?

It is used only to run your assistant. See our [privacy policy](https://tapeandfloat.com/privacy.html). You can ask us to delete it at any time.
