What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's voice agent, we'd lose half our weekend residential lockout calls to voicemail during Friday night rushes. Now, it qualifies emergencies like apartment deadbolt failures and books jobs on the spot—last month, we captured $12K in after-hours revenue from 45 bookings without adding dispatch staff. It's like a tireless night crew that handles the chaos perfectly."
Mike Rivera
Owner, QuickLock Solutions
"Our legacy IVR choked on technical terms for August smart lock installations tied to home automation systems. AIQ's custom agent gets it right every time, even diverting queries on biometric door locks to our specialized techs. We've slashed response times from 2 hours to under 5 minutes for urgent callbacks, and it's boosted our Net Promoter Score by 40 points—customers rave about the speed."
Sarah Patel
Operations Manager, SecureHome Locksmiths
"It synced flawlessly with our Jobber scheduling platform during the Thanksgiving surge, fielding 47 calls overnight on jammed door knobs and safe combinations, then booking 22 on-site repairs. Prevented total team burnout and let us exceed our Q4 target of $150K by two weeks. Reliable tech that scales with our growing residential client base."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI voice agent handle emergency lockout calls at 2 AM?
Our agents are designed for the unpredictability of locksmith work. They greet callers with a calm, professional tone, ask key details like location and lock type, then qualify the urgency—offering immediate booking if it's a residential break-in or scheduling for non-critical issues. Integrated with your GPS tools, it even estimates arrival times based on your techs' routes. In tests with similar services, this cut missed emergencies by 92%, ensuring you never turn away revenue. We customize the script to match your service radius and response SLAs, so it feels like an extension of your team.
Will this integrate with my existing locksmith scheduling software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with platforms like Jobber, Housecall Pro, or custom dispatch systems used by locksmiths. The AI agent pulls real-time availability from your calendar, books slots without conflicts, and pushes job details—like lock model or customer notes—directly into your workflow. No more double-entry that wastes time. For a recent client with multiple vans, this setup reduced scheduling errors by 45%, letting techs focus on the road instead of phone tag. We handle the full setup, testing every pathway to ensure seamless operation from launch.
What if a call is too complicated for the AI, like a commercial safe job?
Smart handover is built-in. The agent detects complexity through keywords—like 'vault' or 'high-security'—and seamlessly transfers to your on-call expert with full context: call transcript, customer details, and initial notes. It even sends a pre-filled summary via text or app notification. In practice, this happens in under 10 seconds, maintaining the urgent feel locksmith clients expect. We've refined this for scenarios where 25% of calls need human touch, based on industry data, ensuring high satisfaction without dropping the ball on big-ticket commercial work.
How much does a custom AI voice agent cost for my locksmith business?
Pricing is tailored to your scale—call volume, integrations, and features like multi-location support. For a typical mid-sized locksmith handling 50-200 calls monthly, expect a one-time build fee of $15K-$30K, plus minimal ongoing hosting under $500/month. This replaces multiple subscriptions and pays back in 3-6 months through captured leads. Unlike assemblers charging recurring fees for basic bots, we deliver ownership, so you're not locked into escalating costs. We start with a free audit to scope your needs and provide a precise quote, factoring in your revenue goals.
Can the agent provide quotes for services like rekeying a whole building?
Yes, we train it on your pricing tiers and service bundles. For rekeying, it can reference your rates—say, $150 for a standard door plus $50 per additional—while gathering details like number of locks and cylinder types. It offers ballpark estimates over the phone, then logs everything for your follow-up. This feature has helped clients convert 60% more inquiries by providing instant value, without committing to unverified jobs. We pull from your secure pricing database, ensuring accuracy and compliance, and always include an opt-out to consult a human for custom commercial bids.
Is the AI voice agent secure for handling customer lock and key information?
Security is non-negotiable in locksmithing, where you're trusted with home access data. Our agents use end-to-end encryption for all interactions, storing only essential details in your compliant CRM with GDPR and CCPA adherence. Voice recordings auto-delete after processing unless flagged for review, and we implement role-based access so only authorized team members see sensitive notes like key codes. Drawing from our work in regulated fields, this setup has zero breach incidents across 200+ deployments, giving you peace of mind while building client trust through reliable, private service.
