Built for contractors

An AI receptionist for contractors

A contractor's phone rings while the contractor is doing the work. There is no front desk, the van is loud, and the enquiry that came in at eleven gets returned at six — by which point the homeowner has had two other people out to quote.

The call that gets missed

You're on a roof, the phone's in the van, and it's rung twice.

FrontDesk answers that call in about two rings, at any hour, from the information you approved — your services, your hours, your prices. You keep your number and forward it when you want us picking up, starting with only the calls you miss.

What your callers actually ask

It answers these from your business's own information — not from anything it assumed about contractors.

• “Do you do this kind of work?”
• “Are you taking jobs at the moment?”
• “How far out are you booking?”
• “Do you give free estimates?”
• “Do you cover my town?”

And what it refuses to guess

It never prices a job it hasn't seen. Estimates in this trade come after a site visit, so it qualifies the work, captures scope and location, and books the visit rather than putting a number in someone's head that the quote then has to beat.

When it doesn't know, it says so and takes a message, which lands in your dashboard with a summary and the full transcript. The questions it couldn't answer are collected too, so the gaps in what it knows are a list you can fix rather than something you find out about from a customer.

Questions

Can it screen out jobs I don't want?

It answers from the services and area you gave it, so work you don't take gets a straight no and a message, not a site visit.

Will it try to quote?

No. It captures the scope and books the estimate, which is the step that actually needs to happen.

I'm one person — is this overkill?

One person is the case it's for. There's nobody else to pick up, and the only alternative on offer is voicemail.
