  • Voicemails left after hours that go unlistened to while callers book the next tradie in Google

  • Double-booking or missed technician dispatch details due to handwritten carbon notes in the van

Industry Guidance

Frequently Asked Questions for Plumbers, HVAC & Trade Businesses

Can the AI handle emergency dispatch calls?
Yes. You configure the triage rules. If a caller reports a major emergency, the AI captures the location, details, and phone number, then immediately notifies your on-call technician via automated dispatch alerts.
Does this connect to my existing software?
Yes, we integrate with GoHighLevel, ServiceTitan, and major calendars via webhooks and API. Booking, pipeline status, and transcripts update automatically.
What happen with noisy background environments?
The system is powered by natural voice-to-text filters. Even if someone calls from a loud job site, our AI filters the noise, gets the information, and confirms details with natural dialogue.
Can it work with my Australian/US number?
Yes. Using Twilio or carrier forwarding, we can use your existing number. Callers won't need to learn any new steps.
