Frequently asked questions

Common questions from home services professionals.

I'm on a job all day — how do I know what calls came in?
Every call is logged with a full transcript, caller details, job description, and urgency level. You get an SMS notification for urgent calls and can review everything in your dashboard when you have a break. Think of it as a second pair of hands on the phone.
Can it tell the difference between an emergency and a routine job?
Yes. The AI is trained on trade-specific urgency signals — burst pipes, electrical faults, gas smells, no hot water. Emergencies get escalated immediately (call transfer or priority SMS). Routine jobs get booked into your next available slot.
What if a customer wants a quote over the phone?
The AI captures all the job details (what's broken, location, photos if they text them) and lets the caller know you'll follow up with a quote. It doesn't guess pricing — it gets you the information you need to quote accurately.
Does it work for a one-person operation or just big companies?
It's built for tradies and small crews. One-person operations are our sweet spot — you're the one who can't answer the phone because you're elbow-deep in a job. No minimum team size, no enterprise-only features.
Can I set different responses for business hours vs after hours?
Yes. You configure your business hours and the AI adjusts automatically. During hours, it books jobs and transfers urgent calls. After hours, it takes messages, handles genuine emergencies, and lets callers know when to expect a callback.
