The personal AI for your trade business

Your business, finally answerable.

Ask anything about your business, by voice or text. PicoTally runs real queries against your own data. Every answer is exact. It never makes things up.

iPhone & iPad. App Store launch this summer.

PicoTally AI assistant answering two questions in one conversation: 'Who owes me the most?' returns Daniel Smith $5,106.06 plus a numbered top-4 breakdown (Steven, Michael Jones, Mike) with a $7,234.02 total across 8 unpaid invoices; 'How much did I spend on pipes in the last 2 months?' returns $343.98 across 5 items, attributed mostly to Daniel Smith's jobs at $194.98
The AI wrapper, actually built for you

Generic AI doesn’t know your business.
PicoTally does.

We didn’t slap “AI” on an invoicing app. We built an AI that lives inside your business. It refuses to make up answers.

Generic AI
  • Trained on the internet. Knows nothing about you.
  • Guesses at numbers from chat context.
  • Doesn’t know your customers by name.
  • Can’t take actions in your business.
  • One-size-fits-all answers.
PicoTally
  • Grounded in your real invoices, expenses, and payments.
  • Runs a real database query. Every figure is exact.
  • Knows every customer, balance, and job by name.
  • Drafts invoices, logs expenses, records payments.
  • Built around how trade jobs actually work.
Ask anything

The fastest way to get an answer from your business.

Tap the mic, ask your question, get an exact number. Voice or text both work the same way. PicoTally never does math in its head. It runs a real query against your records, then reads the answer back.

Real questions PicoTally answers

What did I spend at Home Depot in April?

Voice-generated quote draft for Daniel Smith — $708.00 estimated total, 6 hours of kitchen plumbing labor at $85 per hour, plus itemised Materials and Parts: 100 feet of PEX pipe at $1.50 per foot and 4 quarter-turn shut-off valves at $12 each. Client section pre-filled with Daniel's address, phone, and email.
Voice-to-invoice

Speak the invoice into existence.

“Quote Daniel Smith for kitchen plumbing, 6 hours of labor, plus PEX pipe and shut-off valves.” PicoTally drafts the quote with hours, line-itemed materials, and your hourly rate already filled in. Review it, send it with one tap. Nothing saves until you approve it.

Receipt scanning

Snap a receipt. Get the line items.

Snap a receipt from any store (supply house, hardware store, gas station, wherever you buy stuff). PicoTally extracts every line, totals it, and links it to a job. Text recognition runs on your phone. Only the extracted text reaches the AI. The image itself never leaves your device.

Receipt detail view: Kroger vendor pill, $6.48 total, itemised line-item table showing Daisy Sour Cream $2.99 and Kroger Milk $3.49, with subtotal $6.48, tax $0.00, total $6.48, plus a meta panel showing date Thursday Apr 30 2026, vendor Kroger, category Meals & Entertainment, payment Credit/Debit Card, receipt Attached, and Edit / Delete actions
PicoTally home dashboard: $6,534 awaiting payment with 8 unpaid pill, $20,628 monthly gross income, $6,998 expenses, $13,629 net income, plus an urgent customer list with Rachel Williams awaiting payment, Daniel Smith overdue $5,106, and Michael Jones overdue $274
At a glance

Stand in the truck and know exactly what to do next.

The home screen shows what’s pending: cash awaiting payment, month-to-date income, urgent customers needing follow-up. No reports to run, no spreadsheets to open. The answer is the first thing you see.

Common questions

What real tradespeople ask
before signing up.

Will this work on iPad?

Yes. PicoTally is built for iPhone and iPad. Voice and receipt scanning use whichever camera/microphone your device has.

What if I lose my phone?

Your data lives in the cloud, encrypted with row-level security. Sign in on a new device and everything is there: invoices, customers, expenses, the lot. The encryption key on the lost phone lives in the iOS Keychain, and nobody can extract it.

Can my crew share one account?

One person per account at launch. Each crew member who needs to invoice or log expenses should run their own PicoTally. Multi-user shared crews are on the roadmap.

How do I get my data out?

Individual invoices and quotes export as PDF from inside the app. For a complete data export, email support@picotally.com and we’ll deliver everything we hold within 30 days, in line with GDPR and CCPA.

What data does the AI see?

The AI assistant runs server-side. When you ask a question, your message and a snapshot of your business data (customer names, balances, recent invoices and expenses) are sent to Anthropic Claude. Receipt scans send only the extracted text to Google Gemini. The image itself stays on your phone. No AI keys ship in the app. Full breakdown in our Privacy Policy.

Does it work without internet?

Yes. Every screen works offline. Changes you make queue locally and sync up when you reconnect.
