Built for our own operations

An owner who can't pick up mid-job

Every call answered, even the ones that come in mid-job

An AI phone agent that picks up on the first ring, books the job, and tells you what happened. We built it for our own main line first, because every call we missed was a conversation somebody else got.

It answers our own main line today. Here's how a typical home-service company would use it.

  • Voice AI
  • Lead capture

What changed

Every call gets answered, including the ones at 9 p.m. and the ones that come in while you're on a ladder. You stop losing work to whoever happened to pick up first.

Demo call. The business and caller are invented.

Listen

Sample call, 51 seconds

A recreated call with AI voices. The company and the caller are made up. It shows how a call goes, not a real customer.

Agent
Thanks for calling Larkfield Home Services. I'm an A.I. assistant, and this call is recorded. How can I help?
Caller
Hi. Um, our furnace stopped working this morning. It's just blowing cold air, and the house is getting really cold.
Agent
I'm sorry, that's no fun on a cold morning. First, do you smell gas, or anything burning?
Caller
No, nothing like that. It just won't heat.
Agent
Okay, good. Let's get a technician out to you. I have an opening today between four and six, or tomorrow morning between eight and ten. Which works better?
Caller
Today, please. Four to six is perfect.
Agent
You're booked for today, between four and six. Is it okay if I text a confirmation to this number?
Caller
Yes, that's fine.
Agent
Done. The technician will call you before heading over. Anything else I can help with?
Caller
No, that's it. Thank you so much.
Agent
You're welcome. Stay warm.

The problem

Two in the afternoon, both hands on a water heater, and the phone buzzes. It's a homeowner with no hot water. She doesn't leave a message. She calls the next name on the list.

What it does

Answers on the first ring

Day or night, weekends included, in English or Spanish. It says up front that it's an AI assistant and that the call is recorded.

Asks your questions and books the job

It answers the common questions from what you've told it, then puts the appointment on your calendar.

Texts a confirmation, with permission

It asks the caller before it sends a text, and only sends one if they say yes.

Knows when to hand off

If someone says they smell gas, it skips the questions, gives the safety steps and sends the call straight to you. Existing clients and urgent calls go to your phone too.

Tells you what happened

After every call you get a short summary, saved to the contact, so you call back the people you choose already knowing what they need.

What changes

  • You stop losing work to whoever happened to pick up first.
  • The 9 p.m. calls and the ones that come in while you're on a ladder get answered and booked.
  • Nothing lives only in someone's memory. Every call has a summary.

The fastest way to know if it would work for your callers is to be one.
