Seven small steps. One quiet freight business.

You don't have to configure anything. You don't have to learn new software. Just follow these seven small steps the first week — every autopilot on this page starts running for you the moment you sign up.

// jump to any step
01
takes 60 seconds

Generate your first freight quote.

Tap New Quote. Paste origin + destination + weight + mode. In 47 seconds our 5-agent squad — Team Lead, Pricing, Route, Customs, Risk — writes a defensible, share-ready quote with live rates, ETA, and a public link.

You'll have a real quote worth $X,XXX ready to send to a customer.
02
takes 10 seconds

Share the quote link with your customer.

Every quote gets a public URL (/q/xxx) with a 3D route globe, benchmark against a 15% broker markup, countdown timer, and pay-in-crypto button. Copy the link, paste to WhatsApp/email/LinkedIn. That's the whole 'send'.

Your customer opens the link on their phone and can pay you directly.
03
takes 2 minutes each morning

Read your morning AI Ops digest.

Every day at 08:00 UTC, AI Ops Manager sends you a 2-paragraph digest naming which quotes to touch first (P0/P1/P2), which are overdue, and who's carrying too much on the team. No dashboard to scan. Coffee + inbox = you know what matters.

You start the day already knowing the single most important quote to move.
04
takes 1 minute

Do your daily LinkedIn ritual.

Open /linkedin-followup. Seven small taps: reply to comments, DM 3 warm forwarders, engage 5 posts, publish 1, follow 5, reshare a win, thank someone by name. Or just tap AI-Publish Now and Claude writes today's post + copies it to your clipboard.

Your streak counter bumps, your feed stays warm, first customer inches closer.
05
takes 3 seconds

Mark your first quote as 'booked' when a customer says yes.

Open the quote → tap Status → Booked. Two things happen: (1) your Customer God-Mode panel fills with real numbers, (2) a full-screen confetti overlay unlocks with a share-ready branded PNG celebrating your first booking. Your name, your number, your win.

Milestone unlocked, share card auto-generated, LaneBolt owner gets pinged for a testimonial ask.
06
takes 1 tap after 5 quotes

Turn on AI Autopilot Mode (free 7-day trial).

Around your 5th quote, a warm modal pops up offering a 7-day free trial of AI Autopilot Mode. When ON: quotes auto-email your customer the moment they're generated, Reply Autopilot flips from draft to auto-send, Sunday LinkedIn auto-publishes, and warmest-lead radar auto-drafts follow-ups in your outbox.

You barely need to open LaneBolt. The AI ships freight for you.
07
takes each Sunday evening

Read your weekly wrap-up (auto-emailed).

Every Sunday at 20:00 UTC, LaneBolt emails you a warm 2-paragraph wrap-up: emails sent, replies handled, DMs drafted, new signups, quotes closed, and warm leads to peek at Monday. Zero dashboard, zero KPI overload. Just: 'you did nothing, everything's fine, go rest'.

You know your week ran itself without opening the app once.
// automatic · arrives in your inbox
// common questions

The four questions everyone asks.

Do I have to do all seven every day?

No. Step 01 (generate a quote) is the only one that turns LaneBolt into revenue. Steps 03, 04, 07 are automatic — they land in your inbox whether you open the app or not. Do more when you're up to it, less when you're not.

What if I miss a day?

Everything catches up. AI Ops digest re-sends fresh tomorrow. LinkedIn Ritual resets tomorrow. Every autopilot is momentum-based, not shame-based. You never fall behind.

How do I know Autopilot is worth $499/mo?

You don't have to guess — try it free for 7 days once you cross 5 quotes. On day 6 Claude emails you the exact numbers ('this week Autopilot handled X quotes and Y customer replies'). If it wasn't worth it, do nothing — trial ends day 8 with zero charge.

I'm confused, where do I go?

Two places, always: (1) tap the bell icon in any page header for the latest release notes with 'Ask AI to explain', (2) email support@lanebolt.com — Pablo (that's me) reads every message personally.

The best way to learn is to try 1 quote.

No signup, no card. One free quote to see what the 5-agent squad does. Once you feel it, come back to step 01 above.
