Setup guides & latest releases
Homebase Assistant (AI for hourly teams)
Homebase announced Homebase Assistant, an AI assistant for small businesses with hourly teams. It builds schedules from your team's availability, time off and history; when someone calls out, it finds available employees and reaches out to fill the shift; it flags missing punches and other timecard issues before payroll; it flags overtime trends and gaps between scheduled and worked hours; and it writes job posts and screens applicants. The owner makes the final call. Homebase says it is available now to a limited number of businesses (waitlist on its site). Price for the Assistant is not published.
How it connects: Built into Homebase scheduling, time tracking, payroll and hiring, so it uses the team, schedule and timecard data already in your Homebase account.
Toast IQ Team (Scheduling Agent, beta)
New labor platform for restaurant and retail operators on Toast. The Scheduling Agent (beta) builds a full staff schedule in seconds from employee availability, expected sales and overtime risk, and the manager reviews and publishes it. It also adds AI sales forecasting, staff sales contests in the MyToast app, a Tips Manager and payroll benefits.
How it connects: Built into Toast POS and Toast Payroll; uses your own Toast sales and employee data.
ServiceTitan Max for all residential trades, Atlas mobile app and Homh
Announced at Pantheon 2026. Max, the fully loaded package of ServiceTitan's agentic operating system, is now available to every residential in-home contractor, with a limited pilot for commercial and roofing contractors (agents for site-walk write-ups, daily logs and invoice review, with more listed as coming soon). ServiceTitan also introduced the Atlas mobile app, which lets owners ask about sales, revenue and why a number moved, and Homh, a consumer platform that makes selected ServiceTitan contractors discoverable and bookable.
How it connects: Max agents work across ServiceTitan's own demand, field and office data. Homh works with ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude and books confirmed appointments directly into ServiceTitan.

FAQ
Why do so many cells say Unknown?
We only mark an integration when the vendor's own page confirms it. Unknown means we haven't confirmed it yet, not that it doesn't work.
Do sponsors change the ranking?
No. See how we review.
