What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's chatbot, we'd miss half our weekend calls for split-rail fence repairs—clients just moved on to competitors. Now, it books three extra jobs a week automatically for gate installations, and our follow-ups feel personal. Saved us from hiring an extra admin last busy summer season, adding $15K in revenue."
Mike Reynolds
Owner, Reynolds Custom Carpentry
"I was skeptical about AI understanding woodworking specifics, but this thing nails questions on dovetail joints for drawer fronts and real-time availability checks for cherry lumber. Turned a slow December into our busiest month ever, with responses at midnight sealing deals on custom entertainment centers we would've lost to online big-box stores."
Sarah Patel
Lead Carpenter, Patel Builds

We've cut response delays by 90%, and clients rave about the quick, knowledgeable chat on quartz countertop options—it's like having a 24/7 foreman overseeing trim and cabinet installs on the site."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the chatbot handle specific carpentry questions without sounding robotic?
We train it exclusively on your data—think project portfolios, material guides, and client interaction logs—so it responds with the authoritative tone of a seasoned carpenter. For instance, when asked about oak vs. maple for flooring, it draws from your expertise to explain durability and cost benchmarks, just like you would. This custom approach ensures 85% of queries resolve without human intervention, based on our deployments in similar trades, while escalating complex ones like custom engravings to your team seamlessly. It's designed to build trust, not just answer questions.
Will this integrate with my existing scheduling and invoicing software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations tailored to home services tools like Jobber or QuickBooks. For carpenters, this means the chatbot can check real-time availability for installations, quote basic repairs on the spot, and even log new leads directly into your system. In one recent project, we connected it to a client's calendar, reducing booking errors by 60% and capturing after-hours fence job requests that previously went missed. No superficial links—it's built to feel like an extension of your workflow, eliminating data silos.
What if a client needs to discuss a large custom project over chat?
Our AI is engineered for nuance, starting with gathering details like dimensions and wood preferences for that built-in shelving unit, then qualifying if it's a fit for your services. It references industry benchmarks, such as average timelines for similar jobs (e.g., 2-4 weeks for custom tables), to set expectations. If it gets too detailed—like matching historical restoration styles—we hand off to you with a full summary, ensuring smooth transitions. This hybrid model has helped clients close 25% more high-ticket projects by nurturing leads 24/7 without overwhelming your schedule.
How much does a custom chatbot cost for a small carpentry shop?
Pricing starts at $8,000 for a tailored build, scaling based on integrations like your project management app—far less than the $15,000+ annual loss from missed leads in home services. We focus on ROI: one client recouped costs in three months through 12 extra jobs from evening inquiries. No ongoing subscriptions; you own the system. Our process includes a free audit to map your needs, ensuring it's an investment in capturing every opportunity, from quick repairs to full kitchen overhauls.
Can the chatbot manage seasonal spikes, like summer deck builds?
Yes, it's scalable by design, handling volume surges with enterprise-grade architecture that we've tested in peak seasons for trades. During a client's busy period, it managed 150+ daily queries on deck materials and permits, routing 70% autonomously while prioritizing urgent site visits. We monitor and optimize in real-time, using your historical data to predict patterns—like ramping up responses for weather-related repairs—ensuring you never drop a lead, even when your crew is maxed out on installations.
Is the chatbot secure for sharing client project details?
Security is paramount in client-focused trades. We build with end-to-end encryption and comply with standards like GDPR and CCPA, protecting sensitive info such as home addresses for on-site quotes. Access is role-based, so only your team sees escalated chats. In practice, this has prevented data leaks in over 300 deployments, giving you peace of mind when discussing custom home office builds. Regular audits keep it robust, turning your chatbot into a trusted extension of your reputation.
