The call

Scenario: After-hours burst pipe. Caller needs emergency dispatch that night.
Caller

Hi, how's it going. I have a pipe that just burst in my basement, I have water everywhere — is there any way you can send someone out tonight?

0:00 – 0:09
AI

I'm so sorry, um yeah — let's get someone to you right away. Can I get your address?

0:09 – 0:16
Caller

The address is 847 Maple Drive.

0:16 – 0:19
AI

Got it. I have an emergency tech available and he can be there within the hour. I'm booking that now and sending you a confirmation text. Is this the best number to reach you?

0:19 – 0:32
Caller

Yes, this is the best number to reach me. Thank you so much.

0:32 – 0:37
AI

Sounds good! You're all set. He'll call you when he's 10 minutes out. Thank you for calling. Stay safe.

Frequently asked questions

Are callers told they're talking to AI?

By default, no — but you can configure the AI to disclose if asked directly, or to always disclose upfront. Most of our clients prefer the natural approach: the AI sounds human, handles the conversation naturally, and callers rarely ask. If a caller asks directly, the AI will answer honestly based on your disclosure setting.

What if the caller has an unusual question?

The AI is trained on your specific business: your services, service area, pricing structure, and escalation rules. If a caller asks something it can't confidently answer, it collects contact info and flags it for a callback — rather than guessing or hanging up.

Can it handle accents and background noise?

Yes. The underlying speech model handles a wide range of accents, phone audio quality, and background noise (dogs, kids, road noise) well. You'll hear this in the demo recordings — the caller audio is unedited phone quality, not studio-recorded.

How is this different from an IVR or phone tree?

An IVR presents options ("press 1 for appointments"). This AI holds an open conversation — it listens, responds naturally, asks follow-up questions, and adapts to what the caller says. No menu. No "I didn't understand that, please try again."

What happens after the call?

Every call is logged with a full transcript and recording in your dashboard. If a job was booked, it goes straight into your calendar. If a message was taken, you get a notification. You review calls at your convenience — not in real time.
