New tool exemplifies Jobber’s commitment to harnessing AI in practical and meaningful ways

TORONTO, Oct. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ – Jobber, the leading provider of home service software, today announced the launch of Jobber Copilot, an AI-powered assistant that serves as a business coach, data analyst, marketing specialist, and Jobber product expert to help home service pros make better data-driven decisions, improve their strategies, and streamline their operations like never before.

“We’re developing AI tools to further simplify the daily operations of service professionals, with the long-term goal of having AI handle all administrative tasks, allowing business owners to focus on the work that they’re actually getting paid for,” said Forrest Zeisler, CTO and co-founder of Jobber.

“Jobber Copilot is the first step in this product evolution,” continues Zeisler. “It supports business owners in scheduling, quoting, and marketing best practices so they can service customers faster and grow revenue easier. We’re excited to unveil several new AI-powered features in the coming months that will take the guesswork out of starting and operating a home service business.”

Jobber Copilot’s initial capabilities include:

Marketing support: With context into a service pro’s customer trends and job history, Jobber Copilot can provide tailored marketing strategies to help businesses meet their marketing goals. Copilot can even write blog posts and social posts based on what’s relevant and interesting in their specific industry.Data analysis: Jobber Copilot goes beyond surface-level insights by using historical data within Jobber to analyze operational efficiency, cash flow, workforce performance, and more. This means customers can access all their data instantly and receive suggestions on improving or highlighting areas of opportunity.Business coaching: Drawing on its expertise in home service and knowledge of the service pro’s business, Jobber Copilot can deliver highly relevant and personalized guidance based on a customer’s questions and prompts. Whether they need help with day-to-day challenges or want to work on long-term goals, Copilot provides tailored strategies with the business’ data and goals at its core.Jobber product expertise: As an integrated feature within Jobber, Copilot is highly knowledgeable about how to get the most out of the platform. Jobber Copilot will recommend features to help business owners achieve their goals and optimize their business operations.

Addressing key pain points

The time-consuming nature of data analysis has long been a challenge for business owners, but Jobber Copilot alleviates this burden by providing instant insights. Sean Rozonkiewiecz, Vice President of Elite Lawn & Landscape based in Lexington, SC said, “Through Jobber Copilot, we discovered most of our requests come in on specific days, allowing us to increase ad spend on those days—something we wouldn’t have known without a lot of manual digging.”

“So much of my data is in Jobber, but before Jobber Copilot, I didn’t know how to use the data to meaningfully answer questions I had about my business,” explained Santiago Trujillo, owner of Sandia Shine Co LLC based in Albuquerque, NM. “Having Jobber Copilot there to give me answers to things that are on my mind, and quickly, is massive. Other AI tools just aren’t capable of that level of personalization.”

AI tailored to home service businesses

While some industries fear being overtaken by AI, home service pros have a unique opportunity to partner with AI while focusing on their trade skills—tasks that AI cannot replace, like repairing air conditioners or landscaping properties.

With 44% of service pros reporting in a recent survey* that business coaching is most valuable when paired with help developing marketing strategies, Jobber Copilot is well-equipped to address their needs.

Homeowners welcome AI in home services

Another recent survey of 1,000 U.S. homeowners** found that they are increasingly supportive of AI use in home service businesses, particularly for fast communication. More than half of homeowners (51%) are interested in AI if it means more rapid responses from their service pro, and 57% believe AI will lead to better customer service, particularly in automating the scheduling of maintenance and repairs (54%) and cost estimates for services (49%).

However, while AI can handle inquiries and bookings, 78% of homeowners still prefer a human to perform services inside their homes. This balance of AI-powered efficiency and human expertise is where home service businesses will shine.

A new standard for home service excellence

With the launch of Jobber Copilot, Jobber is not only enhancing the way home service businesses operate but also working with them to set a new gold standard for the industry. By integrating with AI, small businesses can deliver best-in-class service that is personalized, efficient, and reliable.

“Small, local businesses provide a level of care and customized service that’s hard to compete with,” adds Sam Pillar, CEO and co-founder at Jobber. “Our goal at Jobber is to stand behind these businesses and to provide tools that make it easier to do great work. Features like Jobber Copilot eliminate overhead so that business owners can focus their undivided attention on their customers and on doing a great job.”

Powered by a large language model (LLM) that has been trained on over a decade of Jobber’s extensive knowledge base, Jobber Copilot is specifically designed to meet the needs of home service professionals. It leverages an array of resources, such as podcast transcripts, Jobber Academy articles, support videos, and more, positioning it as an industry expert in helping businesses thrive.

The Jobber Copilot is free and available in beta to all U.S. and Canadian Jobber customers. For more information visit https://getjobber.com/features/ai/

Lovense Launches Glint, a Touch-Responsive Butt Plug That Syncs Anal Stimulation with a Partner’s Thrust During Intercourse

Published

on

By

For vibrator-loving couples, Glint offers something genuinely new: vibration driven by a partner’s touch.

SINGAPORE, Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In the middle of sex, reaching for a phone to adjust a partner’s toy can interrupt the very connection the toy is meant to create.

Lovense today announced Glint, a touch-responsive butt plug for couples, designed to enhance intercourse by synchronizing anal stimulation with a partner’s thrust for a more intense, connected dual penetration experience. Its external base responds to a partner’s thrust as well as to touch, translating that contact into responsive anal stimulation in real time.

Glint allows couples to shape the experience through the movement and touch they are already sharing—not through a phone screen. Glint is not simply removing the phone from the experience. It changes what controls the experience: physical touch, contact and movement become the real-time input.

The numbers behind the pause

In a nationally representative U.S. study published by researchers at Indiana University[1], 43.8% of heterosexual men reported having used a vibrator. Among male vibrator users, approximately 94% had used one during partnered sexual activity and 82% during intercourse. The research suggests that vibrators are already part of partnered sex. The next question is not whether couples use them, but how physical interaction can become part of the control.

Grand View Research projects the global sextech market to reach USD 107.85 billion by 2030[2,3], growing at 16.77% annually—nearly twice the projected growth rate of the sex toys market, which is expected to reach USD 62.7 billion at a CAGR of 8.69%. Many of these devices now connect to apps and to other devices.

What makes Glint different

Glint is worn anally. The base stays outside the body and carries a touch sensor that reads how much skin is on it, at what angle and for how long, then moves the vibration across five intensity levels. A light touch can produce a lighter response, while broader or firmer contact can produce a stronger response, depending on the user’s sensitivity setting.

Users set their sensitivity and choose from three response modes in the Lovense Remote app:

Pulse, for rhythmic touch-based feedback;Sustain, for continuous vibration while contact continues;Crescendo, for vibration that builds as contact is maintained.

Glint is 0.84 inches (21.5 mm) across and weighs 55 grams. The small size keeps it comfortable to wear and approachable for people new to anal play. Its compact anal form factor is designed to stay out of the way during intercourse. It runs up to 7,500 vibrations per minute, lasts 95 to 178 minutes on a charge depending on level, charges in about an hour and is IPX7 waterproof. Through Toy Sync, its base can also control other Lovense devices.

Three ways couples will use it

Thrust-synced intercourse. During intercourse, each thrust against the external base is synchronized with anal stimulation in real time. The stimulation follows the couple’s rhythm rather than a preset pattern. With Glint in place, dual penetration feels fuller and more intense.

Touch-led foreplay. One partner wears Glint while the other explores the external base with a fingertip or hand. The wearer feels the response change as contact changes. The wearer can choose whether Touch Response is active and set the sensitivity before play begins.

Two toys, one movement. One partner wears Glint while the other wears a compatible Lovense device, such as Edge 2, Lush 4 or Gush 2 Motion. When the toys are paired through Toy Sync, physical contact with Glint can trigger responsive feedback in both devices, allowing the couple’s movement to shape the shared experience in real time. For example, one partner may wear Glint while the other wears Edge 2, Lovense’s prostate massager, allowing both partners to feel stimulation shaped by the same thrust. Either partner can wear Glint. The wearer remains in control, while the couple creates the rhythm together.

For couples in different locations, Lovense Remote continues to provide long-distance control.

For in-person use, Glint includes Touch Records, which is optional and turned off by default. If enabled, Touch Records lets users review selected interaction data after a session.

The oldest interface

“The simplest thing two people do during sex is touch each other,” said Dan Liu, CEO of Lovense. “With Glint, we wanted to explore what happens when touch becomes a new control layer between two people—so the couple can stay inside the interaction rather than reaching for a screen.”

Since 2010, Lovense has built an ecosystem that turns signals from apps, games and live streams into feedback on connected devices. Glint adds physical touch and movement as another way for signals to reach the body. The app is still there for setup and for partners in different cities; during sex, the couple can leave it on the nightstand.

Availability

Glint launches worldwide on October 20, 2026 and will be available at lovense.com.
