Aibo against the well-known field service suites
Aibo should cover must-have and nice-to-have capabilities from known platforms, but with its own execution: Spanish first, mobile first, evidence first, offline-aware, and Aibo assistance as reviewable help.
Service comparisons
Criteria Aibo should beat
The goal is not more buttons. The goal is helping a service company move from request to work order, evidence, report, quote/proforma, and follow-up with less friction.
Evidence and closeout
Visible gaps before handoff to administration, report, or customer.
Reviewable assistance
Drafts, recommendations, and gap detection with human approval.
Commercial flow
Quote, proforma, operational draft, collection status, and accounting or fiscal provider readiness.
LATAM fit
Spanish first, simple pricing, WhatsApp-aware, small teams, and phone-first adoption.
Operational control
Roles, permissions, users, audit trail, OAuth integrations, and separation between subscription and customer payments.

| Ludo IA Differentiator | Build now | Assisted reception, drafts, customer summary, field questions, and recommendations. | Place Ludo IA where it hurts: triage, dispatch, evidence gaps, reports, quotes, proformas, replies, and indicators. | Human approval, credit limits, usage log, and messages without automatic diagnosis. |
| Roles, permissions, and audit trail Must-have | Build now | Users, roles, seats, permissions, history, export, and account deletion. | Simple owner and administration controls with company isolation, permissions, and auditable events. | Export, deletion, and retention with a runbook before destructive changes. |

Clear limits
Aibo can prepare quotes, proformas, and operational drafts. Official fiscal issuance, payments, automated messages, or accounting integrations depend on verified providers, permissions, company registration, and accepted market tests.

Open comparison FAQ
Comparison questions
Should Aibo copy Jobber or ServiceTitan?
It should match or beat useful capabilities, not copy text, interfaces, screens, branding, colors, or trade dress. Aibo needs its own LATAM and mobile workflow.
Why include large competitors if Aibo starts with SMBs?
They define the complete map: dispatch, customers, assets, evidence, quotes, collection, reports, integrations, and control. Aibo ships it in stages so adoption does not become heavy.
Where does Aibo assistance belong?
At the highest-pain moments: request triage, dispatch, field questions, evidence gaps, report drafts, quote/proforma drafts, customer replies, and admin insight.
