Frequently Asked Questions

Can the AI dispatch emergency calls to on-call technicians?

Yes. You define what constitutes an emergency (burst pipe, gas leak, no heat in winter). The AI asks qualifying questions and immediately forwards true emergencies to your on-call tech with all the details. Non-emergencies get scheduled.

Does it work for multiple trade businesses?

Yes. If you offer plumbing, HVAC, and electrical, the AI identifies the right trade based on the caller's problem description and routes to the correct team or schedule.

How does it handle service area questions?

You configure your service zones by zip code or radius. The AI checks the caller's address against your area and politely declines out-of-range requests while booking in-area jobs instantly.
