Chat assistants
Easy, but everyone is on their own.
- Each person talks to it alone
- Nothing is shared, and nothing is kept as a record
- The answer is gone when the chat ends

The problem
The chores repeat. The tools don’t fit.
Logging the job. Writing the listing. Tracking who owes what. Answering the same question for the fifth time. The tools that could take those chores away come in two kinds, and neither suits a small business.
Automation and builder tools
Powerful, but someone has to build it.
- Somebody has to draw the workflow and connect the steps
- Somebody has to decide where the information is kept
- Most small businesses have nobody to do that
So the chores stay manual, or live in a spreadsheet only one person understands.
How it works
You ask. The helpers handle it.
There is no workflow to draw and nothing to configure. You talk to Backroom the way you would talk to someone at the front desk.

Unit 4B says the dishwasher is leaking again. Photos from the tenant attached.
01Write a message
Describe the job the way you would tell a coworker. Attach photos or PDFs, from a phone or a computer.
- Front desk
This is a repair request. Handing it to Repairs.
RepairsLogged for unit 4B. This is the second leak there this year.
02Helpers do the work
The front desk reads every request, does the job or hands it to the right helper, and the records get kept along the way.

03Open a screen
Ask for a screen and everyone gets the same live list, with buttons for the routine steps.
What is different
Other tools give you a kit. Backroom gives you the helpers.
And they set themselves up as you talk to them.
Who sets it up
What exists today Someone designs the workflows, the instructions and the data by hand.
Backroom Nobody. You describe the job in a message, and Backroom proposes the helper, the records and the screens.
People and AI together
What exists today One person, one chat. Or automation that runs out of sight.
Backroom People and helpers share the same threads. Anyone can be brought in.
Where your information lives
What exists today In your head, in a spreadsheet, or in a system somebody has to design.
Backroom Helpers create and keep the records in the background. You ask, or you open a screen.
What it looks like
One message in. The chore is handled.
The chores are different in every business. The way you hand them off is the same.
A contractor’s crew
“Finished the Hendricks deck. Photos attached.”
A helper keeps the job log with the photos and drafts the invoice for the owner to review.
ScreenJobs waiting on payment
A small shop
“What did we sell most of last month?”
A report from the records the helpers have been keeping, with no spreadsheet for anyone to maintain.
ScreenSales by week
A property manager
“Unit 4B says the dishwasher is leaking again.”
A helper logs the repair against the unit, notices it is the second one this year, and tracks it until someone taps Done.
ScreenOpen repairs
A dental office
“We’re low on gloves and printer paper.”
A helper adds both to the running list and drafts the order for the office manager to review.
