An autonomous AI agent platform: you give an agent a goal in plain English and it plans, uses real tools, and delivers the finished work.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. Actus has a free plan to get started, with paid plans that add higher limits and advanced features like scheduled automations and team workspaces.

Can agents run automatically on a schedule?

Yes — agents can run hourly, daily, or on a custom cadence, so routine work happens automatically without you starting it each time.

How is Actus different from a chatbot?

A chatbot replies with text. An Actus agent takes action: it uses real tools to research, write, build, and send, then returns a finished deliverable instead of just advice.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You describe your goal in plain English and the agent plans and executes the steps. Agents can write and run code when a task needs it, but you never have to.

Do I stay in control of what an agent does?

Yes. Irreversible actions require your approval, every run has budget and step limits, and each step is logged so you can see exactly what happened.

AI Agent for Contractors

AI Agent for Contractors

Contractors often lose time to fragmented work: finding qualified opportunities, answering inquiries, preparing estimates, following up, and keeping project information organized. An AI agent for contractors can coordinate repetitive research and communication without forcing the owner to become an automation specialist.

Start With the Bottleneck

The best first workflow is not “automate everything.” It is one measurable bottleneck. If leads are missed, begin with inquiry triage and follow-up. If the pipeline is thin, begin with local market research. If office work is consuming evenings, begin with document intake and task creation.

Website And Lead Workflows

A contractor’s website should make services, service areas, proof, and the next action obvious. An agent can audit those elements, identify gaps, and prepare a prioritized improvement list. It can also research businesses or property managers that match a defined customer profile and organize the evidence for review.

Follow-Up Without Overpromising

A useful workflow records the inquiry, the requested service, urgency, location, and last contact. It can draft a helpful response and create a reminder. Human approval remains appropriate for pricing, schedules, scope, and commitments.

Practical Guardrails

Never let an agent invent licenses, guarantees, project results, or availability. Require approval before sending a quote or making a promise. Keep customer data limited to what the process needs, and record where key facts came from.

A 14-Day Starting Plan

Day one: document the current process. Days two through four: define fields and decision rules. Days five through seven: test on past inquiries. Week two: run the workflow on new work, review exceptions, and refine. The goal is a visible reduction in missed handoffs, not a complicated system.
