The problem

The AI works. Nobody wired it into the business.

Everyone sells AI. Almost nobody in our industry has it doing real work.

The problem

Your data is stuck in silos.

The paper daily in a truck. The spreadsheet on one laptop. The software you have to log into. What your super knows. So a person carries it from one to the next, by hand.

How it works

Not a chatbot. Not another app.

An operator that does the work, and asks a person before anything goes out.

Money on a phone: 86,400 owed and the late customer at the top, its statement one tap from going out
A statement Big Dog drafted for a late customer, shown as the customer will see it, waiting on Send

Nothing goes out until a person taps Send.

How it works

It plugs into what you already run.

WhatsApp, email, your spreadsheets, SharePoint and shared drives, your accounting system, and almost any other software you use. Nothing to rip out.

How it works

Any data, in any form. One brain.

A voice note. A photo of the paper sheet. A PDF. A spreadsheet. It reads them all.

A phone camera finding the edges of a paper shift report so Big Dog can read and file it

How it works

It asks back until the daily is right.

The T&M hours were blank. Big Dog asked the foreman that night. He answered 3.5. Daily complete.

How it works

Reporting that writes itself.

The daily, the timesheet and the invoice draft, typed once. Click any billed hour to see where it came from.

Fix your reporting

The night shift report for Rig 4 on a phone, read from the paper daily and checked against the rig log, waiting on Approve

Every billed hour links back to the daily it came from.

What you get

Your numbers, every morning.

Yesterday against plan. What you billed. What needs you. Before your first coffee.

The morning on a phone: meters drilled, cost per meter and money owed, then the three things that need you
The home screen at 06:42: Morning, Sam. Three need you, with the night shift reports ready to approve
The same morning on a phone: meters drilled, cost per meter and money owed, then what needs you

What you get

Ask it anything. It shows its source.

"Which T&M hours are on the October invoice, and where did they come from?" The answer cites the daily, the message and the invoice line.

What you get

It finds where you lose the most money.

Then it shows you, every week, the hours saved and the dollars it caught.

Every project on a phone: revenue, margin and cash, then the rig that is down and the customer who is late
Profit per meter by rig: Rig 7 down $9.60 a meter, Rig 4 and Rig 2 up
The weekly brief: Week 43. Two fires. Two wins.

The week on one page: the fires, the wins, the money.

What you get

The more you use it, the more it knows your business.

Correct it once and it remembers. Your rates, your crews, your jobs, the way your guys write a daily.

What Big Dog learned this week on a phone: 46 things, 19 of them from Chris
What I know about you. Three things. Fix any. A shift boss's rigs, how he likes to be reached and his blast ticket, each confirmed

Who is in charge

Big Dog does the work. Your people approve it.

Big Dog drafts. A person approves. Every action is logged. You stay the CEO.

Invoice review: the charge Big Dog would query waits on Approve, and the activity log shows who approved what, to the second

Who approved it, and when. To the second.

Shift to invoice

One daily report. Everything else follows.

Your crew sends the daily the way they already do. It is typed once and checked, and the same numbers carry through to the dashboard, payroll, billing and job cost.

  1. 01

    Big Dog OS on a phone camera: a muddy handwritten drilling shift report on a clipboard, page found

    Field input

    A WhatsApp message, a photo of the paper daily, or a file. The crew writes what they did, in their own words.

  2. 02

    The night shift report for Rig 4, matched to the rig log: 386 meters, an 11.5 hour shift and 46 crew hours, ready to approve

    Daily report

    Typed once and checked against the rig log. Your supervisor approves it instead of retyping it.

  3. 03

    The operations dashboard: Rig 7 is down, everything else is drilling, with meters drilled today, rigs drilling and crew on shift

    Dashboard

    Meters, rigs and crews on one screen the same morning, not a day later.

  4. 04

    Meters drilled, cost per meter and money owed, with five shift reports and a rig invoice waiting for approval

    Payroll, billing and job cost

    Hours go to payroll, meters go on the invoice, and every job shows its cost per meter. Nobody types it again.

The fact that the AI agent can get the information for us right away is amazing.
