AI lead automation for home services contractors.
Every missed call, after-hours emergency, and website form fill gets answered, qualified, and booked, while your techs are under a sink, on a roof, or in an attic with no signal.
The phone rings while you're on a job. The lead calls the next contractor.
Home services runs on the phone, and the phone always rings at the worst time. You're elbow-deep in a furnace, on a ladder, or driving between calls with the radio up. It goes to voicemail. The homeowner with the leaking water heater doesn't leave a message, they tap the next result on Google and book whoever picks up first.
After hours is worse. A burst pipe at 11pm, a furnace that quits during a January cold snap, a roof leaking through a Saturday storm, these are your highest-margin emergency jobs, and they're decided in the ten minutes it takes the homeowner to call down the list. If your line goes to a generic voicemail, you've already lost it.
More ad spend won't fix a speed-to-answer problem. The leads you're already paying for, Google, Angi, truck wraps, referrals, convert based on who responds first. Close that gap and the same lead flow books more work.
Real client
Car Hub, Macomb Township: 10 booked jobs in week one.
Our first client is an independent auto shop outside Detroit, a different trade, but the exact same leak. Before the AI receptionist went live, after-hours calls died in voicemail and new-customer leads slipped to the next shop on Google. In the first week the system was live, it booked 10 jobs the shop wouldn't have captured otherwise.
The same workflow runs for an HVAC company taking emergency no-heat calls, a plumber fielding burst-pipe panics, or a roofer quoting storm damage. The install doesn't care which trade it's plugged into, it cares that a lead reached you and got a real answer in seconds.
The system, end to end.
Missed-call text-back
The moment a call goes unanswered, the caller gets an SMS, usually before they've finished dialing the next contractor. The conversation continues over text until the job is qualified and on your calendar.
Emergency triage
The agent asks the questions you'd ask: what's failing, how urgent, the address and service area, whether it's covered. Real emergencies get flagged and routed to you now; routine work gets booked for the next open slot.
Voice AI that picks up (Climbing)
When you can't get to the phone, the voice agent answers, qualifies, and books, then hands off with a full transcript. Bilingual English/Spanish handling is available on this plan.
After-hours coverage
Nights, weekends, holidays, and the dead zone while you're on a job. The agent runs the same play 24/7, so a Sunday-night no-heat call is booked for Monday morning instead of lost.
Review requests on autopilot
When a job is marked complete, the system asks for the Google review at the moment the customer is happiest. More reviews is how you out-rank the contractor down the road in the map pack.
Every lead tracked
Missed calls handled, texts answered, jobs booked, no-shows recovered, in one dashboard. No more guessing how many leads slipped through last week.

From Chicago bungalows to Naperville new builds.
Chicagoland's housing stock is a service contractor's dream and headache: century-old two-flats in Oak Park and Logan Square with original cast-iron, lakefront condos in Lincoln Park, sprawling new construction in Naperville and Schaumburg, and everything between. Different homes, same pattern, the call comes in, and whoever answers first wins the job.
The system is remote and trained on your service area, your trades, and your dispatch rules. Whether you're a single-truck operator covering the North Side or a multi-crew shop running the collar counties, it qualifies by ZIP and job type before it ever books, so you're not driving an hour for a job outside your zone.
Seasonal surges are where it earns its keep. The first hard freeze, the spring storm season, the summer AC rush, the weeks when call volume triples are exactly the weeks you can't get to the phone. The agent doesn't get overwhelmed.
Common questions.
- Can it tell a real emergency from a routine job?
- Yes. We train the qualification flow on your definition of an emergency, no heat, active leak, no power, gas smell, and the agent escalates those to you immediately with the address and details. Routine requests get booked into your next available slot without interrupting you.
- Does it work with my existing phone number?
- Yes. We forward your existing business number, so nothing changes for your customers and you keep the number. The agent picks up the calls and texts you'd otherwise miss; anything it can't handle routes to you with the full conversation attached.
- Will it book jobs outside my service area?
- No. The agent is trained on your service-area boundaries and dispatch rules. It qualifies the address during the conversation and only books in-area work. If you cover the city but not the far suburbs, it draws that line for you.
- How fast can a contracting business go live?
- Most installs go live in 5 to 7 days. We use your existing number, plug into your calendar, and train the agent on your trades, pricing ranges, and service area before any real leads hit it. The Climbing plan with voice AI takes 10 to 14 days.
- Can it handle Spanish-speaking customers?
- Bilingual handling is available on the Climbing plan. The agent detects the caller's language, switches to Spanish, and runs the full qualification and booking flow without a hand-off. On Awake, the agent is English-only.
