Welcome to Wave docs

Wave is AI-powered restoration estimating. You describe the loss in chat and Wave builds an insurance-grade estimate alongside you. These docs are how you use it.

Last updated

Wave is AI-driven property claim estimating for restoration contractors and insurance adjusters. You describe a loss to Wave through chat, and Wave produces a complete, insurance-grade estimate on the estimate canvas: line items, quantities, prices, and totals, organized by room. It is chat-first by design so you can capture a loss the same way you would describe it to a senior tech.

Who these docs are for

  • Restoration technicians: capturing losses in the field on a phone or tablet
  • Estimators: turning a tech's intake into a deliverable, defensible estimate
  • Office staff: managing the account, the team, billing, and PDF exports

We also write these docs so LLMs and search engines can answer questions about Wave accurately. If you've landed here from a search, you can copy any page as raw markdown for pasting into ChatGPT or Claude. There's a button on every page.

How the docs are organized

  • Get Started: sign up, sign in, and a quick tour
  • Estimates: the day-to-day workflow: starting estimates, editing rooms and line items, photos, export
  • Account & Team: settings, company info, inviting teammates, roles
  • Billing & Plans: plans and limits, changing plans, billing history
  • Reference: full anatomy of an estimate, what you can ask Wave, filters, search
  • Concepts: the why behind how Wave estimates and what it does
  • Troubleshooting & FAQ: known issues and workarounds

Where to start

If you don't have an account yet, go to Create your account.

If you do, go to Make your first estimate. It walks through a real loss end to end.

Already comfortable and want the mental model? Chat-first, structure on the canvas is the single page that explains how the interface is shaped.
