Overview
What is TalkTrade
TalkTrade is an AI-powered voice assistant for ServiceM8. It helps tradies create jobs, complete forms, update job details, add notes, materials, checklists and work completed — all by talking instead of typing.
Who we are
TalkTrade is built to make ServiceM8 faster and easier for tradies who would rather talk through a job than tap through screens or type on site.
Once connected to ServiceM8, TalkTrade can pull in your scheduled jobs, help create new jobs, complete custom forms, update job records, add notes, materials, photos, checklists and work completed, then send that information back to ServiceM8.
What problem does it solve?
ServiceM8 is powerful, but on site, admin can still slow technicians down.
Typing job notes, filling out forms, updating descriptions, recording materials, completing checklists and writing client-ready summaries can be painful when you’re on the tools.
TalkTrade lets technicians speak naturally, like they’re explaining the job to an apprentice, and the AI turns that into structured, polished information for ServiceM8.
How it works with ServiceM8
TalkTrade connects to your ServiceM8 account and gives you access to your ServiceM8 jobs, including filters such as today, this week, active jobs and all jobs.
You can also create a new job by speaking the customer name, email, address and job details. TalkTrade listens, matches the information to the right fields, and can send the job through to ServiceM8 as a quote, work order or invoice.
For existing jobs, TalkTrade can help with:
Updating the job description
Adding work completed
Changing job status
Adding notes
Adding photos
Adding materials
Creating checklists
Completing custom forms

Best suited for
TalkTrade is ideal for:
ServiceM8 users who hate typing on site
Technicians filling out forms in the field
Businesses using custom forms, checklists or compliance paperwork
Owners who want better job notes without chasing staff
Admin teams tired of decoding rushed technician notes
Trades using quotes, work orders and invoices in ServiceM8
Teams that need cleaner records before leaving site
Businesses wanting less after-hours paperwork
Why it matters
The big win with TalkTrade is that it helps capture the job properly while the technician is still on site.
Instead of relying on memory later, the technician can talk through what happened, what they found, what they used, what passed or failed, what work was completed, and what needs to be recorded.
TalkTrade then turns that into cleaner, more structured ServiceM8 records.
That means better forms, better notes, better job history, better invoicing information and less admin chasing.
TalkTrade is not just for filling out forms.
It’s for using your voice to update ServiceM8 faster across the whole job workflow — from creating a job, to completing forms, adding materials, recording work completed, building checklists and keeping the job record up to date.
