An AI receptionist for general contractors.
Trained on the calls a general contractor actually gets — emergencies, common asks, the urgency cues that matter. Never quotes prices. Never books on its own. Captures every real call so a member of your team can follow up.

Sample exchanges
Real example responses your AI is trained on for general contractor calls.
Caller: Want to remodel the kitchen.
AI: Yeah great, fun project. Are you thinking just cosmetic -- cabinets and counters -- or full rip-out and redesign? And do you have any design or budget thoughts already?
Caller: Need an addition.
AI: Yeah perfect. What are you looking to add -- master suite, living room expansion, ADU? And how big roughly?
Caller: Insurance claim, fire damage.
AI: Oh -- okay, sorry that happened. Insurance carrier and claim number? And has the mitigation phase been started by anyone yet, or are we starting from scratch?
Caller: Just need a TV mounted.
AI: Ha, I appreciate it but that is not really my wheelhouse -- handyman would be your guy for that. We focus on bigger projects.
What your AI captures on every call
- Their name (don't ask for callback number -- caller ID handles it; do the last-four confirm)
- Service address
- Project scope -- single-room remodel, multi-room, addition, or full custom
- Rough square footage of the project area
- Whether they have plans / drawings already, or need design-build
- Timeline -- ASAP, this season, this year, flexible
- For real estate / insurance: deadline date or claim number
- Existing relationship with an architect, designer, or other trades
- Lender / financing in place yes/no (many GCs don't start without this confirmed)
Trust signals it weaves in naturally
Not recited like a script — referenced when relevant.
- Licensed general contractor
- General liability + workers comp insurance
- Permit-pulling and inspection coordination
- Licensed subs only (electrical, plumbing, HVAC)
- Workmanship warranty
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
