Get Started

Tour the Wave app

A quick orientation: the home composer, the estimate workspace with its chat panel and tabbed estimate canvas, the estimates list, the command palette, and settings.

Last updated

Wave's interface is intentionally small. Here is everything you will spend time in.

Home

When you sign in, you land on the home page: a greeting and a composer box. Describe the loss by typing or by voice, hit send, and Wave starts a new estimate. Your recent estimates and any plan notices appear here too, and the theme toggle (Light, Dark, Auto) sits at the bottom.

The estimate workspace

Open any estimate and you land in the workspace. On desktop it is split in two:

  • Chat panel (left): describe the loss, answer Wave's questions, and make changes in plain language.
  • Estimate canvas (right): the structured estimate. It builds live as you chat, and you can click any cell to edit it directly.

A tab bar on the canvas switches between its views:

  • Estimate: the rooms, line items, and totals
  • Info: customer and loss details, plus your team's private notes
  • Files: photos tagged by room, plus PDFs and videos attached to the job
  • Drying: drying logs (Basic and above, included in the trial)

On mobile, you see one side at a time and switch between the chat and the canvas tabs.

The estimates list

Every estimate your team has built, in one list. Filter pills across the top narrow it to All, Preliminary, Completed, or Canceled, and you can sort, page through results, and select multiple estimates for bulk changes. See Find and filter estimates.

The command palette

Press ⌘K (Ctrl+K) anywhere in the app and type what you want to do: export, change status, lock, jump to a room, open settings, and more. It is the fastest path to almost every action. See Command palette.

Settings

Open settings from the account menu. Preferences, your account details, company info for PDFs, and (for admins) export styling, pricing, team, billing, and — on Basic and above — carrier guidelines and integrations. See Settings overview.
