Built for trades & home services

Home-service operators lose ~40% of inbound leads to slow response. A voice-AI receptionist picks up every call 24/7, qualifies urgency, and books into your calendar before the caller tries the next number. At 30 leads/week + $650 ticket, typical recovery is ~$10K/month.
