Live voice simulation
Conversational AI trained specifically on home services trade terminology.
Caller: “Hi, my water heater just burst — there's water all over my garage floor. Is there any way you can get someone out tonight?”
Frontdesk AI: “Oh no. Okay — let's get someone out to you tonight. I'm pulling up your account now. Looks like we replaced your pressure valve back in March, so that's still under warranty. I've got a tech, Dave, who can be there between 7:30 and 9. Want me to hold that for you?”
Caller: “Yes, please — that would be a huge help.”
Frontdesk AI: “You're all set. Dave will text you when he's about 15 minutes out. Try to keep the area around the heater clear if you can. Hang in there — we've got you.”
Quote Chaser AI: “Hi Marcus, it's Roster calling for Kestrel. I'm following up on that rooftop unit estimate — the $4,200. Just wanted to see if you had any questions.”
Customer: “Yeah — honestly, it's a bit more than I budgeted for this quarter.”
Quote Chaser AI: “Totally understand. We can split it into three monthly payments, no interest. And I'll lock in this quarter's pricing so nothing changes. Want me to send that over?”
Customer: “Yeah, that works. Go ahead and send it.”
Renewals AI: “Hi Janet, it's Roster with Kestrel. Your Comfort Club plan renews on the 14th, and you're due for your fall tune-up. Want me to get that on the schedule while I have you?”
Customer: “Sure. Is the card you have on file still good?”
Renewals AI: “Looks like it expired last month. I can text you a secure link to update it — takes about ten seconds.”
Customer: “Perfect. Go ahead and send it.”
The industry problem
“I've got 18 missed calls and it's not even lunch.”
“That $14,000 estimate? Nobody ever followed up.”
“I'm sending invoices at 10 at night. Again.”
“Why am I doing office work instead of running my company?”
Every plumbing, HVAC, and electrical shop needs people managing customer requests, booking jobs, dispatching trucks, chasing estimates, and saving memberships. That person is expensive, hard to hire, and gone in a year.
