Exact Apps Running Bear Claw (And Why I’m All-In On AI)

asked about apps

here’s the simple stack I’d use if I had to start over tomorrow.

1. The Brain: Claude (AI)

Claude is what I’m building all my AI agents with.

It’s running a huge chunk of my business right now.

Writes and codes
Pulls data from Jobber + GoHighLevel
Builds reports and dashboards
Runs daily / weekly checklists
Helps run our marketing team

You can get started for ~20–30 bucks a month, and there’s a beefier plan (the one I use) that can handle code, spreadsheets, and more.

If you want a deeper breakdown of how I’ve wired Claude into Bear Claw + OWNR OPS, comment CLAUDE below and drop your questions.

I’ll build this week’s live stream around it.

2. The Must-Have App: Jobber

Jobber is what we use for:

Quoting
Scheduling
Invoicing
Time tracking (we sync timesheets into Gusto for payroll)

I’ve used it since day one at Bear Claw. It’s the app I recommend if you’re not “techy” and your crew isn’t either.

Way simpler than trying to run everything in GoHighLevel
Way easier to train field guys on
Handles the ops side so you can focus on selling and doing the work

If you want to grab it using my link you can get a free trial & discount code here: go.getjobber.com/ownrops

At the time I recorded this, Jobber was running a 40% off promo (depending on when you view it, it could be already back down to 20% — I don't have any say when they run/change these promos fyi)

Check that link for whatever their current deal is and take advantage if it’s live.

3. The Rest Of The Stack (Nice-To-Haves)

GoHighLevel / OWNR OPS snapshot – Marketing, leads, and automation.
OnX – Mapping and acreage estimation.
Zapier – Glue between everything (FB → text to your phone, Jobber ↔ GoHighLevel, etc.).
Gusto – Payroll + benefits (syncs with Jobber timesheets).
Google Workspace – Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, quick video edits, plus Google’s AI (Gemini)

Your next step:

If you don’t have a basic ops system: get Jobber set up.
If you’re running on paper/texts: connect ONE simple automation with Zapier.
If you want to learn AI: comment CLAUDE and tell me what you want me to demo (reporting, campaigns, dashboards, whatever).

I’ll use your questions to shape the next live training.
