    We do the building. You make one call and test it once. Then it works.

    1. Discovery call

      We learn your jobs, prices, hours, service area and the questions people always ask.

    2. We build it

      Voice, script and knowledge base written in your words. Calendar and CRM connected.

    3. You test it

      Call it. Text it. Try to break it. We tune every answer until you are happy.

    4. Soft launch

      We turn on after hours first, so you can watch real calls with zero risk.

    5. Fully live

      Every channel on. You get a text for every booking and a weekly report.

    FAQ

    The honest answers.

    How long does setup take?

    Most shops go live in 7 days or less. We learn your jobs, hours, prices and the way you talk, then turn things on one piece at a time so nothing breaks.

    What if customers do not like talking to AI?

    Most callers just want a fast answer and a time slot, and that is what they get. Anyone who asks for a person can be transferred to you right away.

    Can it work with my current CRM and phone system?

    Yes. You keep your number. We connect to Google Calendar, Outlook, Calendly, HubSpot, GoHighLevel, Jobber, ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro and anything Zapier or Make can reach.

    What if the AI answers something wrong?

    It only answers from the facts you approve. If it is not sure, it says so, takes a message and flags it to you. You can read every call transcript and we fix any answer the same day.

    Is there a long contract?

    No. Month to month, cancel any time.
