AI receptionist for tradespeople

Your hands are full. Your phone still gets answered.

You can't take a call from under a sink or halfway up a scaffold. An AI receptionist answers when you can't, takes the customer's details and passes them to you to call back.

Being busy shouldn't cost you the next job

It's the frustrating part of running a trade business: the busier you are, the more calls you miss. And the customer who needs a job done today often won't leave a voicemail. They'll just try the next number on Google.

Most tradespeople's options aren't great. Answering mid-job annoys the customer in front of you, checking voicemail at 8pm means ringing back too late, and hiring someone to answer the phone is hard to justify when you're a small firm.

What it does for a trade business

01

Answers while you work

Calls forward to the AI receptionist when you're busy, so customers always get a response.

02

Takes the job details

It asks what's wrong, where the job is and how urgent it is, using questions you've agreed.

03

Sends you a clear summary

You get the caller's name, number and job details, usually by text or email, so you can decide what to do next.

04

Answers common questions

Areas you cover, opening hours and services you offer can be handled without interrupting you.

05

Covers evenings and weekends

Out-of-hours callers are still looked after, and you can choose how urgent calls are handled.

06

Uses your existing number

Calls can usually be forwarded from your current number, so customers notice nothing different on their side.

Can it handle emergency call-outs?+
