01/The opportunity

turn more local demand into booked work.

When a homeowner asks for help after hours, the receptionist answers approved service-area and process questions, gathers the job details, and escalates urgent or booking-ready requests to the on-call team.

Repetitive questions and basic intake overload staff, while after-hours inquiries receive no response at all. For contractors and local service teams, calls arrive while crews are on jobs and follow-up gets buried. The system should fit that reality—not force the team into a generic funnel.

02/What we build

Business-trained answers

Responses draw from an approved source of truth for services, policies, and common questions.

Intent recognition

The receptionist distinguishes routine questions, new inquiries, and existing-customer needs.

Human escalation

Sensitive, urgent, or unusual conversations transfer with context instead of starting over.

Call and chat coverage
