Sample exchanges
Real example responses your AI is trained on for carpenter (trim & finish) calls.
Caller: Want crown molding installed.
AI: Yeah great. How many rooms, roughly? And paint-grade or stain-grade -- usually painted MDF for crown, but some folks want hardwood.
Caller: Door does not close right.
AI: Yeah okay, sticking, sagging, latch not catching? And how long has it been doing this -- since the house settled, or recently?
Caller: Need a built-in bookcase.
AI: Nice. Where is it going -- living room, office, alcove? And rough dimensions -- how tall, wide?
Caller: Closing soon, trim is rotted.
AI: Got it, when is closing? And which trim -- exterior, interior? And the cause -- water leak, just age?

What your AI never does
No pricing over the phone — ever. Your AI never quotes hourly rates, ranges, or minimums. Pricing depends on specifics, and that conversation belongs with you (and a member of your team), not with an AI.
- Never books or schedules appointments — gathers info + timing only
- Never says "free estimate" or "free quote"
- Never asks for your caller's email
- Never claims to be human (deflects with humor)
- Confirms the callback by last-four digits — doesn't ask for a number it already has
