Join 150+ woodworking and manufacturing businesses capturing every lead around the clock
The "After-Hours Lead Loss" Problem
Evening calls from framers and finish carpenters about custom millwork orders vanish into voicemail, losing out on next-day dovetail joint projects
Shop managers juggle phones during peak CNC routing and assembly runs, delaying responses to supplier or client queries on FSC-certified material specs for plywood panels
Weekend inquiries about custom furniture designs, like shaker-style cabinetry or live-edge tabletops, go unanswered, letting competitors snag high-margin commissions
Field teams miss urgent callbacks on site measurements for precision cabinet installs, such as toe-kick heights or crown molding alignments, stalling project timelines
Overloaded lines during trade shows like IBS or AWFS mean potential partners for bulk trim orders, such as baseboard profiles in hardwoods, hear busy signals
After-hours gaps in handling returns or warranty questions on finished wood products, like warping issues in engineered flooring, erode customer loyalty
Our Custom AI Voice Agents: Always On, Tailored to Your Woodworking Workflow
We've deployed these systems in over 50 manufacturing setups, from small custom shops to mid-sized mills, ensuring they handle the unique cadence of woodworking demands
Why Choose Us
Let's be honest—you're running a tight ship with sawdust flying and deadlines looming. That's why we build AI voice agents from the ground up for your woodworking operation. No off-the-shelf templates that don't get your lingo. We train them on your specific processes, like quoting dovetail joints or scheduling CNC routing slots. Available 24/7, they answer calls with natural conversation, qualify leads on project scopes, and even pull real-time data from your inventory system to confirm walnut slab availability. You're probably thinking, 'What if it's a complex order?' Our agents escalate seamlessly to you or your team, so nothing slips through the cracks. It's like having a skilled apprentice who never clocks out, but powered by AI that's field-tested in the grit of manufacturing.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Round-the-Clock Wins for Your Shop
Never Miss a Lead, Day or Night
Never Miss a Lead, Day or Night: Your AI agent fields every call instantly, capturing details on custom table builds with mortise-and-tenon joinery or repair requests for splintered trim even at 2 AM. This means turning after-hours curiosity into booked jobs within 24 hours, with one millwork shop we worked with boosting their quarterly leads by 35% after implementing it—no more watching competitors poach your clients while you're catching Z's.
Boost Customer Satisfaction with Instant Service
Boost Customer Satisfaction with Instant Service: Clients get immediate answers on finish options like UV-cured polyurethane or delivery timelines for modular shelving units, building trust like a perfectly sanded surface. We've seen response times drop from hours to seconds, leading to a 28% uptick in follow-up orders for one custom woodworking client who used to fumble with voicemails on laminate countertop specs.
Capture Every Opportunity Without Extra Overhead
Capture Every Opportunity Without Extra Overhead: Handle inquiries on bulk lumber sourcing like kiln-dried maple or prototype feedback on CAD-designed door frames without pulling your team from the shop floor during welding or sanding shifts. It's ROI-driven: one mid-sized fabrication shop saved $15K annually on temp staffing while snagging 20% more project bids for structural beams, all because the AI kept the pipeline flowing 24/7 over the past year.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's voice agent, we'd lose half our weekend calls about custom mantels with fluted columns—folks just hung up on voicemail. Now, it books consults right away, even handling questions on cherry wood grain matching, and last quarter we landed three big residential jobs that came in after 6 PM, worth over $25K total. It's like adding a night shift without the payroll hit."
Mike Harlan
Owner, Harlan Custom Millworks in Austin, TX
"Our team was swamped routing orders during the day, missing callbacks on trim specs from builders like crown molding radii. The AI handles it all now, even pulling real-time stock levels for oak panels from our inventory system instantly. We've cut response delays by 80% and picked up $40K in extra contracts for base cabinets over six months—game-changer for our small operation serving regional homebuilders."
Sara Nguyen
Operations Manager, Precision Mill & Design LLC in Denver, CO
"I was skeptical about AI understanding woodworking lingo, but it nails questions on joinery techniques like biscuit joints and schedules installs for floating vanities flawlessly. No more frantic after-hours checks; we captured a rush order for 50 shelving units in Baltic birch plywood that rang in at midnight, closing the deal by morning. Upped our close rate by 25% without adding staff over the last year."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI handle technical woodworking questions, like types of joinery?
Here's the thing—our agents are custom-trained on your shop's expertise. We feed them your product catalogs, past project notes, and even glossaries of terms like mortise-and-tenon or pocket-hole joins. So when a client asks about the best method for a sturdy table base, the AI responds knowledgeably, pulling specifics like 'For load-bearing applications, we recommend dovetails reinforced with glue—would you like a quote?' If it's too nuanced, it seamlessly transfers to you. We've fine-tuned this in real woodworking environments, ensuring 85% of queries get resolved instantly without human intervention, keeping your pipeline moving without interruptions.
What if a call comes in about an urgent custom order during shop close-down?
You're probably thinking about those panic calls for rush jobs. Our AI is designed for that—available 24/7, it gathers details on specs, deadlines, and materials right away, like 'What dimensions for the mantel, and when do you need it milled?' It then books a slot in your system or alerts your team via text. One woodworking client avoided losing a $12K emergency cabinet order because the agent captured it at 11 PM and prepped the quote for morning. No more voicemail black holes; it's like an always-on foreman ensuring every opportunity sticks.
Can it integrate with my existing shop management software?
Absolutely, and that's where we shine as builders. We create deep, two-way API connections to tools like your CNC scheduler or inventory tracker—think pulling live data on cherry wood stock during a call. No brittle plugins that fail mid-season. For a mid-sized shop we partnered with, this meant the AI could confirm delivery dates on the spot, cutting quote times from days to minutes and boosting close rates by 30%. We map it to your exact workflow, so it's not just integrated—it's an extension of your operations, reducing errors in order entry.
Is the AI voice natural enough for clients in the woodworking trade?
Let's be honest, robotic voices don't cut it in an industry built on craftsmanship. Our agents use advanced natural language models, sounding like a seasoned shop hand—warm, precise, and jargon-savvy. They handle conversations fluidly, like discussing grain direction for tabletops without awkward pauses. In testing with woodworking pros, 92% of callers rated interactions as 'human-like,' leading to higher engagement. We customize the tone to match your brand, whether folksy for custom furniture or professional for commercial millwork, ensuring clients feel heard and valued every time.
How secure is customer data handled by the AI agent?
Security is non-negotiable in manufacturing, where designs and client specs are gold. We build with end-to-end encryption, compliant with standards like GDPR and industry regs, storing call data only as long as needed for your records. Access is role-based—your team sees leads, but sensitive blueprint details stay locked. For one shop dealing with patented joinery, this setup prevented any breaches while enabling quick warranty lookups. We also audit regularly, so you own a system that's fortified like a well-built frame, protecting your reputation and IP without slowing down service.
What's the setup time for getting this running in my woodworking shop?
We keep it efficient—most setups take 2-4 weeks, starting with a quick audit of your call patterns and software. Week one: Customize and train on your woodworking specifics. Week two: Integrate and test with sample calls, like quoting edge banding. By launch, it's live and handling real inquiries. A small custom shop we did this for was up in 18 days, immediately capturing after-hours leads on shelving units. Post-launch, we monitor for a week to optimize, ensuring it's ROI-positive from day one without halting your production rhythm.
