Capture Every Opportunity Around the Clock
Never Miss a Lead, Day or Night
Never Miss a Lead, Day or Night: Your chatbot fields inquiries 24/7, turning a midnight call about a leaky roof into a booked inspection by morning, complete with photos of shingle damage assessed via chat.

Cut manual follow-ups by 60%, freeing your team to focus on-site work rather than chasing emails about vinyl siding replacements estimated at $10,000 per project.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we'd lose half our weekend leads to unanswered messages about storm-damaged shingles. Now, the chatbot handles initial quotes for our asphalt roofing projects flawlessly—last month alone, it booked 12 emergency tarping jobs we would've missed, adding $15K to our revenue. It's like having an extra crew member who never sleeps."
Mike Reynolds
Owner, Reynolds Roofing & Gutters Inc.
"Integrating this with our CRM was a game-changer for our kitchen remodeling side. A client messaged at 10 PM about a full gut job with custom cabinetry, got an instant scope including granite countertop options and a preliminary $45K estimate, and we closed the deal two days later with a signed contract. No more after-hours scramble for plumbing rough-ins."
Sarah Patel
Operations Manager, Patel Home Remodeling LLC
"Our electrical team was buried in follow-up calls for outlet upgrades. The chatbot now qualifies leads for GFCI installations and even pulls local permit info from the database, saving us about 15 hours a week on admin. We've seen a 25% uptick in small repair bookings like circuit breaker resets since going live three months ago, boosting our quarterly earnings by 18%."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the chatbot handle specific questions about building permits?
Our custom chatbot is trained on your local regulations and past project data, providing accurate info on permit requirements for things like additions or renovations. For instance, it can explain timelines for electrical permits in your county while pulling from your CRM. If details get too nuanced, it seamlessly transfers to a human expert. This setup has helped contractors like you reduce inquiry resolution time by 50%, ensuring clients feel informed without delays. We build it to your exact jurisdiction, avoiding generic errors that frustrate users.
Can it integrate with my existing scheduling software?
Absolutely. We engineer deep, two-way API connections to tools like Jobber, Housecall Pro, or Buildertrend, allowing the chatbot to check availability in real-time and book slots for inspections or installs. No more manual calendar juggling. For a general contractor we worked with, this integration cut scheduling errors by 70% during busy seasons. It's all custom-coded for your workflow, so it feels like an extension of your operations, not an add-on.
What if a client needs a human for a complicated remodel discussion?
The AI is designed to recognize complexity—say, a full-home renovation involving structural changes—and escalate instantly via chat, email, or even SMS to your team. It provides context from the conversation to speed things up. In one case, a contractor saw response times drop from hours to minutes for handoffs, preserving client relationships. We fine-tune these triggers based on your typical escalations, ensuring smooth transitions without losing momentum on the lead.
How secure is the chatbot for handling client data?
Security is enterprise-grade from the start. We use encrypted data flows, comply with GDPR and CCPA, and store info only as needed for your workflows. Client details like project addresses or payment info stay protected, with audit logs for every interaction. For home services firms, this means peace of mind when discussing sensitive jobs like security system installs. Our systems have zero breaches in five years, outperforming industry averages, because we build with ownership and compliance in mind.
How long does it take to get the chatbot up and running?
From consultation to launch, it's typically 4-6 weeks, depending on your integrations. We start with a deep dive into your processes, build the core AI, test with simulated inquiries like foundation work quotes, and iterate based on feedback. A recent general contracting client went live in 28 days, capturing leads immediately. Post-launch, we provide ongoing tweaks to adapt to seasonal demands, like peak roofing season, ensuring it's always optimized for your business.
Will the chatbot improve over time with use?
Yes, it's built to learn. We incorporate machine learning that analyzes interactions—refining responses for accuracy on topics like cost estimates for framing. Over time, it gets smarter about your clients' preferences, such as preferred materials for eco-friendly builds. One partner reported a 22% increase in query resolution rates after three months. We monitor and update quarterly, keeping it ahead of evolving needs without extra subscriptions.
