We put AI workers on the back-office jobs nobody was hired to do
AI Pathway is a founder-led team building AI agents for contractors. We work inside the systems you already run — no migration, no new platform, no new logins for your crews.
Why we started AI Pathway
Ritchie Hale on the problem he kept running into in contractors' back offices, and what the agents were built to fix.
How AI Pathway started
The field is where you make your money, but the back office is where you keep it. If you run a commercial trade or construction business, you know the daily friction of watching hard-earned revenue get quietly drained by operational delays. Between unbilled job site costs, missed rental returns, excess labor hours, and endless paperwork, your team is constantly playing catch-up. You didn't get into the trades to spend your nights untangling system disconnects or chasing missing invoices—you did it to build a profitable, growing business.
That is why we built AI Pathway. We aren't a team of distant tech developers throwing generic software at a complex industry. Ritchie Hale, one of our founders, spent over two decades in enterprise AI before buying and operating a commercial plumbing company. Sitting in the owner's chair, he experienced the exact friction you deal with every day: a fast-moving field crew driving revenue, and a struggling back office trying to turn that work into actual bank deposits. He realized contractors didn't need another isolated app—they needed dedicated operational intelligence that actually works alongside their existing tech stack.
So, we built custom AI Agents engineered specifically for trade contractors. Designed to integrate seamlessly with the tools you already rely on—like ServiceTitan, QuickBooks Online, and GCPay—our AI Agents act as digital force multipliers within your business. Instead of forcing staff into manual data entry across multiple tabs, our workflows bridge the gap. Our AI Bookkeeper Assistant syncs operational data directly with QuickBooks Online and ServiceTitan, catching uncaptured costs, eliminating duplicate entries, and accelerating billing cycles. Meanwhile, our AI CFO Assistant streamlines complex subcontractor pay applications through GCPay, audits job expenses in real time, and gives you instant visibility into project margins without waiting on end-of-month reports.
By plugging costly profit leaks and automating the friction between your field management, accounting, and pay-application software, AI Pathway frees up your key workers to focus on what actually moves the needle: serving customers, taking on bigger projects, and scaling your bottom line.
