A full kitchen remodel has 6–12 weeks of work across demolition, rough trades, drywall, cabinets, countertops, appliances, tile, and finish work. Mapping that out by hand in a spreadsheet takes an hour and falls apart the first time something reschedules. MY LAURA's Auto-Scheduler builds the whole timeline from an approved estimate — editable before commit, synced to your calendar and every trade partner's iCal feed.
MY LAURA scans the approved estimate, builds the phases off your schedule template, and proposes appointments with reasonable durations in the right order.
Every proposed appointment is editable — move it, resize it, split it, delete it. The schedule doesn't go live until you say go.
Set your schedule template once in Settings — your phases, your typical durations, your sequence. Every Auto-Scheduler run builds off that template so the proposed schedule fits how you run a job, not some generic remodel.
Open Auto-Scheduler, select the project you want to schedule, then pick one or more approved estimates from that project. MY LAURA reads the estimate line items, maps them against your schedule template from Settings, and starts building the proposed schedule phase by phase — demo, rough trades, drywall, cabinets, tile, finishes, whatever order fits how you run jobs. Set the template once and every future project follows it.
The scan step shows you how MY LAURA interpreted the estimate and mapped it against your schedule template. Each phase of the template gets its own block — "Demo," "Rough Trades," "Drywall," "Cabinets," "Tile," "Finish Carpentry," and so on. For each phase, MY LAURA proposes appointments with start dates, durations, and scope notes pulled from the estimate line items.
This is the important step. Nothing commits until you approve. You can:
When the schedule looks right, click Approve. MY LAURA creates all the appointments, assigns them to the selected trade partners, sends SMS notifications with portal links, and updates every subscribed iCal feed. The project goes from approved estimate to fully scheduled in about 30 seconds of work.
Houzz Pro has a similar feature called AutoMate AI, which is one of their most marketed capabilities. It's a legitimately good feature — but it sits in a higher pricing tier, and you're paying for a much larger product to get it. MY LAURA includes the Auto-Scheduler in the flat $199/month, with no tier upgrade, no feature gate, no add-on.
Service-call software doesn't need a scheduler like this — one visit, one appointment, done. Remodeling software needs it because a project is 20+ appointments across 8+ trades over 6–12 weeks. The time savings compound. Scheduling a remodel by hand takes an hour; with Auto-Scheduler it takes two minutes.
The Auto-Scheduler preview itself is a list-style view so you can review and edit quickly. Once you commit, the appointments land on the project schedule where you can switch to Gantt for the bird's-eye look — multi-day bars, gaps, trade overlap. Rebalancing after a reschedule becomes drag-the-bars instead of edit-each-appointment.
Auto-Scheduler is included in MY LAURA at $199/month. Unlimited everything. 30-day free trial, no credit card.
