Every missed call is a job your competitor got
You are on a roof, under a sink, or driving between jobs. The phone rings, goes to voicemail, and that customer calls the next name on the list. They are not waiting for you to call back — research on home services consistently finds most callers simply move on to whoever picks up.
That is the whole problem an AI receptionist solves. Not “engagement.” Not “automation.” Answering the phone.
What it actually does
Answers in two rings, around the clock
Nights, weekends, holidays, and the middle of a job. No voicemail, no hold music, no phone tree. It picks up faster than you can, every time, and it never has a bad day.
Talks like a person
It asks what is wrong, where they are, and when they are free. It answers questions about what you do, what you charge, and how soon you can get there. Callers can interrupt it and it keeps up — it is a conversation, not a menu.
Books the job on your calendar
Qualified callers land as real appointments in the calendar you already use. Anything that is not a fit gets logged with notes and handed to you, so you can decide whether it is worth a callback.
Hands off when it should
Emergencies, repeat customers, anything outside its brief — it can transfer to your mobile or take a detailed message. You set the rules for what it handles and what it escalates.
Shows you every conversation
Full transcripts and recordings. Beyond not missing calls, this is the sleeper benefit: after a month you can see exactly what customers keep asking, which tells you what your website should already be answering and which service you should be selling harder.
Website chat, same brain
The same assistant answers your website chat. Someone comparing three contractors at 10pm gets a real answer instead of a contact form, and you get their details either way. Voice and chat share the same knowledge, so they never contradict each other.
Where this pays for itself
Run the numbers on your own business rather than taking our word for it. If your average job is worth $400 and you miss three calls a week, that is roughly $60,000 a year of phone calls going to somebody else. The receptionist starts at $497 a month.
It is a particularly easy call if any of these are true:
- You are on tools all day. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC, roofers, landscapers, cleaners — anyone whose hands are busy when the phone rings.
- Your work is urgent. Burst pipe, no heat, locked out. Those callers ring three numbers and book the first human they reach.
- You are paying for leads. Spending on ads and then missing the calls they generate is the most expensive mistake in local marketing.
- Evenings and weekends are dead air. A large share of home-service enquiries happen outside business hours, when nobody is at the desk.
What it will not do
We would rather say this up front than have you find out.
It is not a person, and it does not pretend to be one — it identifies itself as an assistant. It will not negotiate pricing, handle a genuinely upset customer well, or replace the judgement you bring to a complicated job. It is very good at the first ninety seconds of a call: catching it, qualifying it, and booking it. That is the part you are losing right now.
If you answer your own phone reliably and rarely miss a call, you do not need this. We will tell you so on the call.
Try it before you buy it
There is a live demo on the homepage — click the voice assistant and talk to it. It uses your microphone, so your browser will ask permission first. Ask it the awkward questions your customers ask. That is the point of a demo.
Setup
We build it around your business, not a template. That means your services, your service area, your pricing rules, your hours, your escalation rules, and the questions your customers actually ask. Most builds are live within a week, and we tune it in the first month based on real transcripts.
You own the number, the recordings and the data. If you leave, you take all of it.
