The "After-Hours Lead Loss" Problem
Weekend calls about custom shelving for garage workshops go unanswered, losing weekend warrior DIY clients to competitors offering quick-turnaround millwork
Evening inquiries for reclaimed wood projects, like barn beam accents, hit voicemail, frustrating homeowners ready to buy now for their kitchen remodels
Supply chain delays in lumber deliveries leave your CNC line idle while missed calls mean no new custom furniture orders to fill the production queue
Trade show follow-ups for modular framing systems fizzle because your team can't respond to urgent quotes on steel fabrication during off-peak hours
Seasonal rush for holiday decor pieces, such as handcrafted mantel garlands, overwhelms your manual call handling, dropping balls on high-value leads for festive millwork
Contractor callbacks for bulk cabinetry bids on site-built installations get buried in after-hours silence, stalling your project pipeline for commercial fit-outs

What Clients Say
"We used to lose half our weekend calls for custom shelving—folks would call Saturday morning about a garage workshop makeover with floating shelves and give up if no one answered. Since AIQ Labs set up the voice agent, it's booked three jobs in the last month alone, all from after-hours, including a full wall unit that netted us $2,800. Saved us from hiring a part-timer during our busy remodel season."
Mike Harlan
Owner, Harlan Custom Woodworks & Millshop
"A late-night call came in for reclaimed barnwood tables during our holiday rush for dining room refits. The AI handled the details, checked our inventory for 8-foot slabs, and scheduled delivery within two weeks—all without me lifting a finger. Turned a potential no-show into a $5K order. It's like having an extra fabricator on the floor 24/7 for those urgent custom builds."
Sara Lopez
Production Manager, TimberCraft Reclaimed Studios
"Our quoting process was bottlenecking on calls for cabinet modifications, like soft-close drawer upgrades for commercial kitchens. The AI agent now qualifies everything upfront, even asks about finish preferences such as matte lacquer, and feeds it straight to our CAD software. Cut our response time from days to minutes, and we've seen a 20% uptick in repeat business from general contractors over the past quarter."

Operations Director, Precision Millwork & Cabinetry Co.

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI handle specific woodworking requests, like different types of joints?
Let's be honest, generic bots stumble on shop lingo. Our AI is custom-trained on your catalog and processes—think dovetails, rabbets, or finger joints. When a caller asks about a mortise-and-tenon table, it asks clarifying questions like dimensions or wood type, then logs details directly into your system. We've seen shops reduce miscommunications by 50%, turning vague ideas into precise quotes. It's built to your workflow, so if you specialize in bentwood, it knows the nuances without prompting.
What if a call is too complicated for the AI to handle alone?
You're probably thinking about those tricky custom pieces that need a human touch. Our agents are smart qualifiers—they gather basics like size, material (e.g., maple vs. pine), and timeline, then seamlessly transfer to your team with a full summary. No starting from scratch. In one shop we worked with, this cut handoff time from 10 minutes to under 2, keeping momentum on high-value orders like heirloom furniture. We set thresholds based on your preferences, ensuring nothing falls through.
Can it integrate with my existing inventory or quoting software?
Absolutely, and that's where we shine. We don't just slap on a voice layer; we build deep integrations with tools like your ERP or CNC software. A call for walnut shelving? The AI checks stock levels in real-time and quotes accordingly. For a woodworking client, this meant syncing with their saw optimization program to confirm cut feasibility. Setup takes about two weeks, and it eliminates manual entry errors that plague busy shops during peak seasons.
How secure is customer data from these voice interactions?
Security is non-negotiable in manufacturing, where client specs can be proprietary. We use end-to-end encryption for calls and store data in compliant servers, adhering to standards like GDPR if needed. Transcripts are access-controlled, only visible to your authorized team. One cabinet shop we helped worried about blueprint-level details; our system anonymizes sensitive info until handover. Regular audits ensure no leaks, giving you peace of mind while capturing those after-hours leads.
What's the setup time and cost for a woodworking shop?
We keep it straightforward—no endless subscriptions. Initial build takes 4-6 weeks, customized to your scale: for a small shop with 10 employees, it's quicker than a larger mill. Pricing starts around $15K for the core system, scaling with features like multi-line support. ROI hits fast—many clients recoup in 3-6 months via captured leads. Think of it as investing in a new lathe that pays for itself through extra orders, not monthly fees draining your margins.
Will the AI sound natural, or like a robot scaring off clients?
Here's the thing: we've ditched robotic voices. Our agents use advanced synthesis for warm, conversational tones—imagine a friendly shop foreman chatting about grain patterns. Trained on real woodworking dialogues, it handles interruptions or accents smoothly. A client in custom framing said it felt like 'talking to my best router guy.' We test with your team for that authentic vibe, ensuring callers stay engaged for those detailed heirloom discussions.
