General
Mucka is an AI-powered operating system for heating, plumbing and air conditioning businesses. Think of it as an experienced operations manager that watches your jobs, schedule, clients and money, then prepares the admin for you to approve. You can talk to it, message it, or use the dashboard.
UK heating, plumbing and air conditioning firms, from sole traders up to established multi-engineer teams. Plenty start on their own and grow into a team on it. Owners and office staff use the dashboard; engineers in the field use WhatsApp, the mobile app or voice, with nothing new to learn.
Because a tool that tries to suit every trade ends up suiting none of them properly. Mucka knows what a CP12 is, that a service falls due twelve months on, and that the paperwork gets filled in in a cellar with no signal. That only works if we pick one industry and build for it. Gas and oil certificates are live today and air conditioning certificates are being built now.
It handles admin on the go, so you avoid a backlog of paperwork in the evenings. Create quotes, send invoices, write up certificates, manage your diary and chase payments, all by voice or message. Same whether today is a boiler service, a bathroom or an air con install.
No. Mucka is designed to feel like familiar messaging apps, powered by intelligent voice recognition.
Yes. Voice is optional. The app works like any client management tool where you can type or tap.
It uses natural language processing and is highly accurate. Very noisy environments may affect it, so you can switch to text in those cases.
Both. There are native iOS and Android apps on the Apple App Store and Google Play, plus a desktop dashboard at app.mucka.ai. Everything syncs via the cloud.
Yes. Mucka is built for hands-free use. Ask it out loud in the app, message it on WhatsApp, or phone Mucka and talk to it like a person.

All issued straight from the job with a PDF emailed to the client, and they work with no signal. Air conditioning certificates are being built now.

Yes. It can send WhatsApp updates, chase quotes and invoices, email quotes and certificates, and reply to reviews. Nothing goes out until you approve it with one tap.

Mostly through WhatsApp. They get a morning brief with the day's jobs and reply "on my way", "on site" or "done". There is no new app for them to learn.

Security & Data
Yes. We are registered with the Information Commissioner's Office under reference ZC023304.
Card payments are handled by Stripe under PCI-DSS Level 1, so card numbers never touch Mucka. Your business data is held in secure cloud storage with per-workspace isolation.
Your account and service data is kept for up to 12 months after you close your account, then deleted. You can export or request deletion of your data at any time.
Support & Setup
Email us at support@mucka.ai or use the support form. We can also arrange a phone or video call to talk anything through. Training videos are on the Support page.
Yes. Mucka onboards you conversationally when you sign up, and there are training videos plus a support team on hand to help.
Certificates do, fully, because a cellar or a plant room is where they actually get filled in. Start one from the job, fill it in, take the photos and capture both signatures with no bars at all: it saves to the phone as you go and uploads itself when you reconnect. Emailing it to the customer is the only part that waits for a connection. The rest of Mucka keeps a readable copy of the day's jobs, the fortnight's schedule, your clients and job notes, and refreshes the moment signal returns.
Advanced Features
Yes. Team plans add job assignment across the crew, a shared calendar and schedule, and a live job tracking dashboard.
Absolutely. Feature requests are actively encouraged. Get in touch via the support page.
