AI receptionist for trades.
AI receptionist for trades — answers, qualifies, books, escalates only when needed.
AI receptionist. Built for trades.
Every trade business shares the same call problem: phone rings, hands are full, caller hangs up and tries the next number on the search results. The single highest-ROI software a small trade business can deploy in 2026 is a 24/7 AI receptionist trained on your real services, prices, and area.
We build AI receptionists for trades that pick up in 2 rings, qualify the job (emergency vs survey vs domestic vs commercial), book appointments live in your calendar, and only escalate to a human callback for genuinely complex enquiries. Same brain works across phone, web chat, WhatsApp, SMS.
Build runs £2,500–£8,000. Running cost averages £40–£200/month. Most trade businesses see payback in 60–120 days.
