What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we'd lose half our weekend calls to voicemail, particularly for urgent residential evictions requiring immediate rekeying. Now, the AI handles everything from providing ballpark quotes for 10-door rekeys to seamless booking integrations— we've added $15K in monthly revenue just from nights, holidays, and Sunday lockouts. It's like having a dedicated night shift that never sleeps or calls in sick."
Mike Rivera
Owner, QuickLock Solutions Locksmith Services, serving Phoenix metro area
"Our old voicemail system couldn't handle rush-hour inquiries about August smart lock installations for new homeowners. The custom AI voice agent from AIQ qualifies leads on features like keypad access and integrates directly with our Jobber scheduling app. In the first three months, no-shows dropped 35% for install appointments, and we're actually wrapping up by 6 PM instead of 8."
Sarah Chen
Operations Manager, Urban Keymasters Residential Locksmiths, based in Seattle
"Handling after-hours car lockouts in winter was a nightmare—competitors were stealing our business with faster response promises. This AI setup answers calls instantly at 1 AM, even guides customers through safe roadside troubleshooting like using a wedge tool, and we've seen a 28% uptick in emergency service bookings, including 50 more transponder key jobs, since rollout last quarter."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI voice agent handle urgent locksmith emergencies like a break-in?
Our AI is designed for high-stakes scenarios. It listens for keywords like 'break-in' or 'locked out immediately,' then provides calming guidance—such as safe waiting tips—while gathering details like location and lock type. The agent books the nearest available technician via your integrated calendar, aiming for under-5-minute response times. We've seen this cut average wait times by 50% for clients, ensuring you capture those critical jobs without delays. It's all custom-tuned to your response protocols, so it feels like an extension of your team.
Can the AI integrate with my existing locksmith software like Jobber?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with tools like Jobber, Housecall Pro, or ServiceTitan. The AI pulls real-time data for availability and pushes booked jobs directly into your queue, including customer details and service notes. No more manual entry errors that lead to double-bookings. For a recent locksmith partner, this seamless sync reduced admin time by 20 hours weekly, letting techs focus on fieldwork. We handle the custom coding to make it plug-and-play for your setup.
What if a call is too complex for the AI, like troubleshooting a smart lock?
The agent is smart about knowing its limits. For intricate issues like biometric lock errors, it gathers initial info and seamlessly transfers to a live technician with full context provided—no repeating details. It can even queue the call during off-hours for callback. In testing with locksmith firms, 70% of calls resolve fully automated, while the rest hand off smoothly, boosting overall efficiency without frustrating customers. We train it on your specific smart lock brands for better initial handling.
How much does a custom AI voice agent cost for a small locksmith shop?
Costs start at $5,000 for the build, tailored to your scale—covering training, integration, and launch. Unlike monthly subscriptions that add up to $2,000+ yearly, you own the system outright, with optional maintenance at $200/month. For a 5-technician shop, ROI hits in 2-3 months via captured leads. We've helped similar businesses recover setup costs through 15-20 extra jobs monthly. It's an investment in 24/7 revenue, not recurring fees.
Is the AI voice agent compliant with locksmith industry regulations?
Yes, we build in compliance from the start, including call recording consents, data encryption for customer addresses, and adherence to local locksmith licensing rules. For emergencies, it avoids giving unlicensed advice, instead focusing on booking pros. Our regulated industry experience, like in collections AI, ensures 100% audit-ready logs. Clients report zero compliance issues post-deployment, giving peace of mind when handling sensitive lockout data.
How quickly can we get the AI voice agent up and running?
From consultation to live deployment, it's typically 4-6 weeks. Week 1: We map your workflows and train the AI on locksmith scenarios. Weeks 2-3: Build and test integrations, simulating calls for lock changes or vehicle unlocks. Week 4: Soft launch with monitoring, then full rollout. For urgent needs, we can accelerate to 3 weeks. One client went live in 25 days and immediately captured a weekend surge of holiday lockouts.
