Our AI agents respond instantly to these queries, booking 25% more jobs within 24 hours by converting after-hours inquiries into confirmed appointments via integrated scheduling. Customers feel the reliability, building trust like a solid foundation repair that lasts years.

Boost Customer Satisfaction with Instant Service: In an industry where response time is king, delays frustrate clients waiting on lockout fixes or emergency window board-ups. AI voice agents provide immediate acknowledgments, ETAs based on real-time technician GPS, and follow-up texts, increasing satisfaction scores by 45% per Home Services Association benchmarks within the first quarter of implementation. Your team arrives prepared with job details, turning one-off calls into loyal relationships for ongoing maintenance like annual HVAC tune-ups.

This enterprise-grade solution cuts labor expenses by 60% over 12 months, letting you capture every opportunity like nailing a perfect trim job without overtime pay.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's voice agent, we'd lose half our weekend calls for gutter cleaning and downspout repairs—folks just called the next guy. Now, it qualifies the job scope, checks our Saturday slots, and books three extra repairs per weekend, with my guys out the door 30 minutes faster. Revenue's up 28% in just six months without adding any staff."
Mike Reynolds
Owner, Reynolds Handyman Services in Denver, CO
"I was skeptical about AI handling real emergencies like a busted water heater at midnight in a rental property, but it qualified the leak severity, pulled our 24-hour availability, and even sent a detailed quote via text before dawn. Saved us from missing that $800 job, and the customer raved about the quick response, leading to two referrals in the following week."
Sarah Lopez
Operations Manager, Lopez Plumbing & Home Fixes in Austin, TX
"Our old voicemail was killing us during peak deck season—holiday calls for composite decking and railing repairs piled up, and we'd chase them Monday morning. The AI agent now triages everything from small shelf installs to full backyard remodels, integrates seamlessly with our Google Calendar, and has boosted our booking rate by 35%. It's like having a 24/7 foreman on the line, especially during July 4th rushes."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI voice agent handle urgent handyman emergencies like a midnight lockout?
Our AI is designed for the high-stakes nature of handyman work. It immediately acknowledges the urgency, asks key questions about the issue—like door type or location—and checks your real-time availability to offer the soonest slot. If it's critical, it can dispatch an on-call alert to your team via text or app notification. Trained on thousands of real scenarios, it qualifies without delay, ensuring you respond faster than competitors. In tests with similar services, this cut response times from hours to minutes, capturing 90% more emergency jobs. Plus, it logs everything for your records, maintaining that client trust essential in home services.
Can I customize the AI to match my specific handyman services, like specializing in cabinetry?
Absolutely—customization is our core strength. We start by mapping your exact offerings, from custom cabinet installs to repairs, and train the AI on your terminology and processes. It won't just say 'yes, we do that'; it'll quote timelines based on your typical jobs, like 'We can handle that shaker-style cabinet fix in two days.' Integrated with your tools, it pulls from your service catalog for accuracy. Handymen we've worked with report 40% higher booking rates because it feels like an extension of their expertise, not a generic bot. This tailored approach eliminates mismatches that plague template solutions.
What happens if the AI can't resolve a complex query, like electrical wiring advice?
The AI is smart enough to know its limits. For intricate issues like troubleshooting outdated wiring, it gathers details—such as fixture age and symptoms—then seamlessly transfers the call to your on-duty expert with a full summary prepped. No repetition for the customer. In our deployments, this handoff occurs in under 10% of calls, and satisfaction remains high because the process is smooth. We also provide post-call analytics to spot patterns, helping you train your team better. This ensures every interaction, even escalated ones, strengthens client relationships in your expertise-driven field.
How secure is the AI for handling customer data in home services, like addresses for repairs?
Security is non-negotiable in home services where you're entering people's homes. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, complying with GDPR and CCPA, and use secure APIs to transmit data like addresses or job details only to authorized systems. Voice recordings are anonymized and stored briefly for quality checks, with automatic deletion policies. Unlike cloud-based templates, our custom builds let you control data residency on your servers. Clients in our network have seen zero breaches, and we include audit logs for peace of mind. This protects your reputation while enabling features like geofenced dispatching for local handyman jobs.
What's the setup time for getting an AI voice agent running for my handyman business?
We streamline deployment to minimize disruption. After initial discovery—about a week to understand your workflow like scheduling for painting crews—we train and integrate in 2-3 weeks, testing with simulated calls for scenarios like fence mending. Full launch follows, with our team monitoring the first month to tweak responses. Total time: 4-6 weeks to 24/7 operation, far quicker than building in-house. Post-launch, updates take hours, not days. Handymen appreciate this speed, as it quickly plugs after-hours gaps without halting your daily grind of tool runs and site visits.
Will the AI integrate with my existing tools, like QuickBooks for invoicing repairs?
Yes, deep integration is what sets us apart. We connect the voice agent to your stack—QuickBooks for instant invoicing on completed jobs, or ServiceTitan for dispatching plumbers—creating a unified flow. When a call comes in for a faucet replacement, it books the slot, updates inventory, and even generates a preliminary invoice. No more manual entry that eats into your time. In one case, a contractor saved 15 hours weekly on admin, focusing instead on fieldwork. Our two-way APIs ensure data syncs reliably, avoiding the breakage common in superficial connections.
