An AI receptionist for pool service technicians.
Trained on the calls a pool service technician 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.

If you run a pool service technician business, you already know the pattern: an unknown number rings, you decline because most are spam, and the one in ten that was a real customer goes to your competitor instead. Carrier spam filters make it worse — they silently auto-reject calls before your phone even rings. VettedCalls puts a 10-second AI screen between the unknown caller and your phone. The AI captures the caller's name and what they need, recognizes pool service technicians-specific urgency cues, and only forwards real calls to you.
The AI is trained on the calls pool service technicians actually get. It treats "pool leak", "water level dropping", "pump broken", "green pool", "event tomorrow" and similar phrases as emergencies that escalate to your cell immediately, bypassing any schedule or routing. If a caller mentions a true emergency, you ring within seconds — no AI hold, no voicemail.
For non-emergency calls — pool actively leaking, water level dropping fast, pump broken -- pool turning green, weekly maintenance signup, pool opening (spring) — the AI captures the caller's name, what they need, and (for service calls) the address. It works through 9 fields naturally in conversation, never as a checklist, so when you call back you have full context instead of "someone called, no message." Real pool service technicians report 30–50% fewer missed real-customer calls in the first month.
One firm rule: the AI never quotes prices over the phone — not hourly rates, not minimums, not a "ballpark." Pricing always depends on the specifics, and that conversation belongs with you (or someone on your team), not with a screening AI. The AI politely deflects pricing questions and gathers enough info that your callback is fast and on-target.
Setup takes about 5 minutes. You keep your existing phone number — VettedCalls uses carrier-level conditional forwarding, so contacts ring you directly and unknown callers route to the AI screener first. After signup, you tap an activation file on your phone, grant permissions, dial one short forwarding code, and you're live. Cancel anytime; no contracts; 14-day money-back if it isn't a fit for your pool service technician business.
