Which AI can help me trade?
Short answer
If you mean working in a trade (plumbing, electrical, building and so on), start with a free chat tool such as ChatGPT for emails and quotes, a job app for the pipeline, and an AI receptionist if you miss calls on site. This page is about tradespeople, not stock or forex trading.
Quick picks for tradespeople
- Wording: ChatGPT free plan for quote descriptions, follow-ups and review replies.
- Jobs and invoices: ServiceM8, Tradify, Powered Now or Fergus: see best field service apps.
- Calls: an AI receptionist if you lose work when you cannot answer.
- Accounts: Zoho Books free, or FreeAgent / Xero for Making Tax Digital.
Full table: best AI tools for tradesmen (UK). Safety: never use chat AI for electrical calculations, gas sizing or structural design, check ChatGPT for tradesmen.
