# Elio -- AI-Powered Contractor Management Platform

> Elio is a complete business management platform for contractors and home service businesses. It combines job scheduling, invoicing, team dispatch, expense tracking, and AI-powered floor plan drafting into a single mobile-first app.

## What Elio Does

Elio helps general contractors, specialty contractors, and home service businesses run their entire operation from a smartphone. Contractors can manage jobs from lead to completion, send professional invoices, track expenses with receipt scanning, dispatch field teams, and generate AI-drafted floor plans from LiDAR scans.

## Core Features

- **Job Management**: Create, schedule, and track jobs from estimate to completion. Assign team members, set milestones, upload progress photos, and manage job status in real time.
- **Invoicing & Payments**: Generate professional invoices with line items, send to clients via email or SMS, and collect payments via Stripe. Supports partial payments, deposits, and recurring billing.
- **Estimates & Proposals**: Build detailed estimates with a price book, send for client approval, and convert approved estimates directly into jobs and invoices.
- **Expense Tracking**: Photograph receipts and use AI OCR to auto-fill expense details. Categorize by job, track material costs, and export for accounting.
- **Team Dispatch**: Schedule and dispatch field technicians. Track time entries, manage availability, and view team locations on a map.
- **AI Floor Plan Drafting**: Use LiDAR scanning (iPhone Pro) to capture room dimensions, then generate AI-drafted construction documents and floor plans automatically.
- **Client Portal**: Clients can view estimates, approve proposals, track job progress, and pay invoices through a dedicated client portal.
