Framing sits between the GC, the architect, and the homeowner, and the questions reflect that. Can you take a 2,800-square-foot stick-built start in July, do you handle additions and second-story pop-tops, are you set up for engineered lumber, do you run your own crane, what is your typical price per square foot on framing only. Generic chatbots cannot answer any of that. SleekAI reads your services, your portfolio entries, and your contractor handoff page and answers in the language the framer's clients already speak.

Services live as posts or custom fields. New construction, additions, second-story pop-tops, garages, accessory dwelling units (ADUs), barn construction, and rough carpentry for remodels read as named context. Crew size, equipment (your own crane or rental), insurance scope, and the rough price-per-square-foot band pull from the services page, so the chatbot quotes them verbatim. Past project photos with square footage and scope notes give the bot reference points for the most common GC questions.

For framing crews running multiple starts, multibot scopes one chatbot per scope, one for new construction GCs, one for homeowner additions, each tuned to that flow. Conversations log to WP admin with model name and token use, so the office can see which scope types get asked about most and decide where to grow.

Framing is a calendar business. The crew moves from start to start on a fixed week count, and a single bad mismatch (a stick-built scope that turns out to need engineered LVL the desk did not scope, an addition that turns out to need a pop-top, a start window that the GC needed two weeks earlier than the calendar can hit) burns time both sides cannot get back. Generic chatbots make that worse.

A bot that knows the calendar makes it better. It can say the August window closed two weeks ago, the next open start is September 15, here is the rough per-square-foot band, here is the contractor packet, and the GC is either qualified or routed somewhere else in the first minute. The framing shop wins twice.

The bid prep time goes to projects that actually fit the calendar. The GCs who do reach out arrive already aligned on start window, scope, and insurance scope, so the first phone call is a real bid kickoff rather than a re-explanation of the website. SleekAI's pitch for framing carpenters is exactly this: read the services list you already maintain, read the portfolio you already publish, read the calendar note you already keep current, and use them to answer the questions the office is already fielding by phone three times a day.

Nothing on the site has to change. No third-party tool has to learn your bid template. No subscription scales with the number of crews.

The bot launches on the homepage and on the contractor packet page, captures the questions that used to bounce out of the bid form, and either books a bid or honestly says the start window does not work. Both outcomes protect the calendar, and both happen without the office reading the same FAQ five times a day.
