An AI front desk for the trades. It picks up day and night, checks the address against your service area, quotes from your own price book, and writes the job into a time your calendar actually had open. Not a message. A booked job.
$99
a month to start, 350 minutes
A live answering service runs $180 to $600 a month and takes a message. This books the job. All three plans
That is it. It answers the next call.
What a booked call sounds like
An example call, written from the flow our agent actually runs: the disclosure it opens with, the questions it asks, the two times it offers. Not a customer recording. We do not have one to show yet, and we are not going to invent one.
That is our own test line, not a customer's. Yours uses your company name, your towns and your hours, and it answers at 8:40 on a Friday night the same way.

01
The problem
You are on a roof. The phone rings. You let it go.
You call back at 6. They already had somebody out.
The answering service took a message. It did not book anything. It spelled your company name wrong on the message.
They do not know you will not drive to Georgetown. So they say yes, and you eat the trip.
Then July hits, the calls triple, and the bill triples with them.
One booked job pays for a month of this. Most guys lose four or five a month and never see the number.
We are not going to tell you what percent of calls go unanswered. Everybody in this business quotes the same number and nobody can say where it came from. We are running our own study. Here is how we are doing it.
02
How it works
Your trades. Your towns. Your hours. Your phone number. If you do not have a site, you tell us in a form that takes four minutes.
One screen. Your service area on a map. Your after-hours rule. What you charge for a diagnostic, or that you will not quote one. Change anything you want.
Keep your number. Forward it always, or only when you do not pick up in four rings. Your choice. Undo it any time from your phone.
That is it. It answers the next call.

The demo
Put in your website. In about a minute we build an agent from what we find, and then you have a live conversation with it right in your browser. Ask it for an appointment and watch where it puts you.
Step 1
You paste your website.Nothing else. No email, no card, no phone number handed out.
Step 2
We read it and build the agent.Your company name, your trades, your towns, your hours. About a minute.
Step 3
You talk to it in the browser.It will use your company name. It will know your towns. It will not make up a price.
We have no customer recordings to play you, and we are not going to invent one. What we do have is our own test line, and we post those calls including the ones it got wrong. See the calls we have posted.
04
What is different
Before it offers anything it reads your Google Calendar, so the times it says out loud are times you really have. Then it writes the job into one of those exact times while the caller is still on the phone. It cannot book a slot it did not offer on that call, and that is enforced in the code, not asked for politely in a prompt.
Tuesday, 2pm. The caller says “sometime this week.” It offers Thursday at 9 and Thursday at 1, because those are the two gaps between jobs you already have. He takes 9. The address, the trade and the time are on your calendar before he hangs up.
Anything it cannot answer from your own business becomes a note on that call, in the caller's own words, with a callback promise it keeps honest: today if you are open, the next business day if you are not. If a call goes somewhere it cannot take it at all, it hands you the whole thing, what the caller wanted and what stopped it, so you ring back knowing the story instead of asking for it again.
A caller asks whether you honour a warranty you never told it about. It says it does not know rather than guessing, promises a callback today, and the question is on the call in your app with his exact wording. You answer it once and the next caller gets the answer.

Texts, emails and minutes are per month, on every plan. Email leads are answered from day one; texts to your number start once its carrier registration is approved, which needs your EIN.
On every plan, not only the bigger ones
A live answering service
$180 to $600
A month, for most one to five truck shops. For that you get messages, not booked jobs. And in July, when the calls double, the bill goes up with them.
This, for most shops
$149
A month, flat, 650 minutes, about 185 calls. It books the job instead of taking a message, and it does not go up in July.
We tell you at 80 percent. At 100 percent you move up a plan if you chose that, or we stop and callers go to your own voicemail until next month. Below Fleet, nothing is ever billed past your plan; Fleet with the move on keeps going and meters. No contract. Cancel from the app.
$99 is the lowest-cost plan that is not bundled with other software. Some alternatives are cheaper for basic message-taking, and some meter differently. We wrote down how they compare. See the full comparison.
06
Eight of them, answered straight. If yours is not here, the agent you build in the demo will answer it, and so will we.
Some will. Most do not, until it tells them. If a caller asks whether they are talking to a person, it says no, it is an automated assistant for the company, and offers to get a human. We do not let it lie about that, and you cannot turn that off. Lying about it is how you lose a customer for good.
It will, sometimes. Here is what we built so a mistake is small instead of expensive. It will not quote a price you did not give it. It will not book outside your service area. It will not book a time you do not have open. When it does not know, it says so and takes a message. Every call is recorded, transcribed and summarised in the app, and anything it could not answer is written on that call, so you find out the same day, not next week.
No. You keep your number. You forward it. That is the whole change. You can forward everything, or only calls you do not pick up in four rings, so you still answer the ones you want. Turning the forward off takes about ten seconds and you do it from your phone.
About twenty minutes of your time, once. Most of that is you reading what we pulled off your website and fixing the parts that are wrong. Then you forward the phone. Guys usually do it on a Sunday night and it is live for Monday.
Most one to five truck shops pay a live answering service $180 to $600 a month, and that bill goes up in the busy months. Ours starts at $99 for 350 minutes, 150 text conversations and 100 email threads, a flat plan price rather than a bill that moves with how busy you were. What you get for it is different too. An answering service hands you a message. This hands you a job on the calendar.
Because the call ends differently. Our $99 buys 350 minutes, about 100 calls if your calls run three to four minutes, and trade calls do. Theirs takes a message. Ours knows you do not go past 183, that a no-cool with a baby in the house goes to the top, and that you charge $89 to come out but not on Sundays, and it puts the job on your calendar while the caller is still on the line, into a time it read off that calendar first. One booked job a month is the whole difference in price. We built this for the trades and only the trades.
Yes. It reads your real open slots on Google Calendar and books into one. If you do not use Google Calendar, it books into a calendar we give you. It does not write into Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, Jobber or Service Fusion yet. If you run one of those, nothing breaks: the job is in your app with the address, the trade and the time the caller agreed, and you enter it the way you do now.
It does not argue and it does not defend you. It says it is sorry, it takes down what happened in the caller's own words, and it marks the call for you to ring back, with a note on it saying why. You hear the recording before you dial.
It says it does not know and that someone will call back, today if you are open and the next business day if you are not. It does not guess. The question is written on the call in your app, in the caller's words, so you answer it in one line. Once you have answered it, it becomes part of what the agent knows, so the next caller gets it.
Gas, carbon monoxide, smoke, or water coming through a ceiling, it does one thing first. It tells the caller to get out and call 911 or the gas company. It does not try to book that. The call is marked an emergency in your call list with what was said, so it is the first thing you see.
Yes, from your phone, in about ten seconds. Off for the afternoon, off for a week, or off for good. Cancel any time. There is no contract and nobody is going to try to talk you out of it on a retention call.
Put in your website. In about a minute you get an agent that knows your trade, your towns and your hours. Ask it for an appointment and watch where it puts you.
No email. No card. No phone number handed out.
