AI receptionist

An AI receptionist for contractors that answers every call to your company number.

Brody is an AI receptionist for contractors and trades. He answers every call to your business number day and night in English or Spanish, books estimates, flags emergencies, texts back missed callers and sends you the details.

Brody tells every caller he is an AI assistant for your company.

One number, every hour. Brody answers, books and texts back, so the next job does not go to whoever picked up first.

Sheet 01, Platform

What does an AI receptionist do? Everything a good front desk does.

An AI receptionist answers your calls when you cannot, books the work and tells you what happened. Brody handles the calls that come in while you are on a roof, under a sink or on a pour, and hands you a clean list of what came in and what was booked.

01

Every call answered

Brody picks up every call on your number, day and night, weekends and holidays, many calls at the same time.

02

Jobs booked

He asks your questions, checks your service area and books the visit on your schedule.

03

After hours triage

Real emergencies reach your on call person. Everything else is booked for the morning.

04

Missed call text back

If a caller hangs up before talking, Brody texts them back to pick up the conversation.

05

Transfers to you

Hot leads and emergencies go straight to your cell when they match your rules.

06

Messages and summaries

Every call becomes a short text and email with the name, number, address and what they need.

07

English and Spanish

Callers talk to Brody in English or Spanish and you get the summary in English.

08

Field knowledge by text

Your crew texts the company number for an address, a gate code or the day’s schedule and gets an answer.

After hours

A homeowner calls at 9 PM with water coming through the ceiling. Brody answers, books the first slot and texts you the photos.

Most trade calls come in when nobody can pick up. A caller who reaches voicemail usually calls the next company on the list. Brody answers in your company name, asks the questions you would ask, follows your after hours rules and books the job. You wake up to a summary instead of a stack of voicemails.

Call summaries

What do I get after each call? A clear note, not a voicemail.

You get a short summary by text and email after every call, with who called, the address, what they need and what Brody booked. The booking lands in your scheduling tool.

Every call, summed up. Who called, where, what they need, what Brody booked and what he promised.

After hours calls that can wait

Brody books them into the first open slot or takes a full message, and tells the caller when to expect a callback.

Current customers

Reschedules, arrival windows and simple questions get answered from what you share. Billing and anything sensitive goes to you as a message.

Callers who hang up
