Haulbase for AI assistants

What to ask

In your own words. These work.

• “Find a dump trailer to rent near Fergus, Ontario.”

• “Is it free from this Saturday to Monday?”

• “What will that cost with tax?”

• “How much to have 5 yards of mulch delivered to my address?”

• “Make me a link to book it.”

What it does

Four things, and all four only look things up.

• Find equipment and supplies

  Looks for rentals and delivered materials near a town, an address or a postal code, within 50 km unless you say otherwise. It gives up to 10 results, each with the yard, its town, how far away it is and its price.

• Check dates

  Says whether something can be booked for your days. When it can't, it says why: already booked, out for service, the yard is closed, or shorter than the yard's minimum rental.

• Price an order

  Works out the total the way the yard's own page charges it: the yard's rates, delivery by road distance and truckload, and tax. It also says any refundable damage deposit held on a card.

• Make a booking link

  Makes a link that opens the yard's booking page with your order filled in. The link lasts 7 days.

Straight answers

What it never does

• It doesn't book anything

  Nothing is booked until you send the order yourself on the yard's own page.

• It doesn't take a payment

  It never charges a card, holds a deposit or asks for payment details.

• It doesn't change anything

  All four things it does are look-ups. It can't change a yard's prices, calendar or orders.

• It doesn't need an account

  There is no sign in and nothing to set up with Haulbase.

Haulbase is new, and its yards are in a few areas of Canada so far. A search anywhere else finds nothing yet, and the answer says where the yards are.

Your privacy

• Haulbase gets what your assistant sends to answer you: what you're looking for, the place and the dates.

• To find a place or price a delivery, the place or the address goes to Mapbox, the map service Haulbase uses, to work out the distance. An address is used for that answer and not stored.

• Haulbase's own record of a look-up is which of the four it was, which yard it was about and how many results came back. It never keeps what you typed.

The whole policy is on the privacy page. Questions go to hello@haulbase.ca.
