Turn missed calls into booked jobs, 24/7.
An AI front desk that texts back every missed and after-hours call in under 60 seconds, qualifies the emergency, books it against your real schedule, and collects the deposit. You get a text. The customer gets a tech.
Built on Claude Managed Agents by Anthropic. Works with Housecall Pro, Jobber, Google Calendar, Stripe and Twilio. Your number stays the same.

Watch a 9:40 PM no-heat text become an 8 AM job
Pick a scenario to replay a real workflow, or switch to live mode and text the agent yourself. Same playbooks, same rules your shop would run.
Tuesday 9:40 PM. Office closed. Customer texts the shop number after the call went to voicemail.
Cool Breeze Heating & Air
Text message
Scripted replay of a real workflow. Names and numbers are fictional.
It fixes the three places revenue leaks
Not a chatbot bolted onto your website. A dispatcher that owns the lead from first text to paid invoice.
1. Capture and qualify
Answers calls, texts and web forms in under 60 seconds. Triages emergencies (no heat under 55F, active leaks, gas smell), confirms the address is in your area and the caller owns the home, and turns away tire-kickers politely.
2. Book and confirm
Reads real tech availability, offers two arrival windows, creates the job in Housecall Pro or Jobber with your tags, sends the confirmation text, and takes a $49 deposit when the rules say so. P1 jobs text you instantly.
3. Chase and collect
Every 4 hours it follows up on no-shows, ghosted estimates and abandoned leads with short human texts. After the job: review request. After 7 days unpaid: a payment link. Two to three recovered jobs a week per shop.
Do the math on your own missed calls
Industry call-tracking studies put the share of unanswered calls to home-service businesses between 27% and 62%. Most owners have never counted theirs.

15-minute teardown
I text your own number a demo wired to your ZIPs, hours and pricing. You see it book a job before you decide.
Wire it in
Missed and after-hours calls forward to the agent. Core plan connects Housecall Pro or Jobber, Google Calendar and Stripe.
7-day pilot
It runs on your missed calls only. You get a text for every booking and a dashboard with leads, booked jobs and recovered revenue.
Friday ROI email
Leads, qualified, booked, after-hours saves and dollars recovered, every week, plus any conversation flagged for your review.
Playbooks for the trades that lose the most to voicemail
HVAC is where I started. Each playbook has its own emergency rules, price ranges and intake questions.
HVAC
Peak-season call volume buries a one-person office; 27% or more of leads hit voicemail.
Example: No heat, 52F inside, 12-year-old Trane, Tuesday 9:40 PM
Plumbing
Water-damage emergencies call three plumbers at once; the first to answer wins.
Example: Water heater leaking from the tank, Saturday 11:15 PM
Roofing
Storm surges overwhelm the office for a week and leads go cold in 24 hours.
Example: Active leak into the bedroom after a nor'easter, Sunday 7 AM
Med Spa
Front desk staff are with clients; the phone goes to voicemail during treatments.
Example: New client asking about Botox pricing, Thursday 9:30 PM
Auto Detail & Collision
Estimators are in the bay; calls go unanswered mid-day.
Example: Rear-ended on Route 73, car not drivable, Friday 6:45 PM
Small Law Firm
Paralegals cannot answer every call during hearings and depositions.
Example: Served papers today, hearing in 48 hours, Wednesday 8:10 PM
Pricing that pays for itself on the first after-hours job
One $800 no-heat call booked at 9 PM covers the Core plan for two weeks. Setup covers the build; the monthly covers hosting, monitoring and tuning.

Built like infrastructure, not a chatbot
Each shop runs on Claude Managed Agents from Anthropic: a hosted agent with its own memory, scheduled follow-ups, and a full trace of every message and tool call you can audit. Your API keys sit in an encrypted vault the agent never sees. I'm a full-stack developer, not a reseller, so when you want a custom skill (warranty checker, financing pre-qual), I build it.
- Replies in 10 to 20 seconds, 24/7, with human hand-off rules
- Never quotes firm prices, never books outside your area or hours
- Works inside Housecall Pro and Jobber; nothing new to learn
- Per-shop memory: it remembers the customer, the unit and the gate code
Questions owners ask
Under 60 seconds from the missed call or inbound text, 24 hours a day. Most replies land in 10 to 20 seconds.
No. It catches what they cannot: nights, weekends, and the 3 PM rush. Your team sees every conversation and can take over any time by texting "I got this".
Gas smell or CO alarm gets safety instructions first (leave the house, call the utility or 911). Then the agent offers the emergency window and texts the owner immediately.
It texts like a dispatcher. If someone asks directly, it answers honestly in one line and keeps helping. Owners report customers care about the appointment, not the typist.
A 15-minute call. I need your service ZIPs, hours, tech names and skills, your pricing ranges, and a Housecall Pro or Jobber API key for the Core plan. Your existing number stays; missed calls forward to the agent.
Claude Managed Agents by Anthropic: hosted, long-running agents with per-shop memory, scheduled follow-ups, and an audit trail of every tool call. Credentials live in an encrypted vault; the agent never sees your API keys.
Month to month after the pilot. The setup fee covers the build; the monthly covers hosting, monitoring and continuous tuning.
The agent works anywhere in the US. I onboard local shops in person when possible and remotely everywhere else.
Seven days on your missed calls. Then decide.
The pilot plugs into missed calls only, so nothing about how your office works changes. If it does not book at least three jobs in the week, you keep the report and we part ways. If it does, the $500 is credited to setup.
- Texts back in under 60 seconds, nights and weekends
- Owner text for every booking and emergency
- Dashboard with leads, booked jobs, recovered revenue
- Day-7 numbers in writing, no pitch
