What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's chatbot, we'd lose half our weekend calls for electrical fixes, like faulty outlet installations in older homes. Now, it books jobs automatically and even sends photos of wiring issues directly to my phone for quick assessment. In the first month, we picked up 15 extra gigs—mostly evenings and Saturdays during the summer rush. It's a game-changer for a small crew like ours handling residential rewiring projects."
Mike Rodriguez
Owner, Rodriguez Handyman Services
"Our old system couldn't handle the flood of interior painting quotes after hours, especially for kitchen remodels. The custom bot they built qualifies leads on the spot, like asking about square footage and wall prep needs right away. We've seen a 25% uptick in conversions over six months, and clients love the quick replies with color matching tips. No more frantic voicemails piling up during peak reno season."
Sarah Jenkins
Operations Manager, Jenkins Home Painting & Repairs LLC
"Integrated perfectly with our scheduling app for seamless calendar syncing. Last winter, it managed a surge of furnace repair inquiries overnight during the cold snap, booking three emergency tune-ups by morning and preventing potential $1,000+ breakdowns. Saved us from hiring extra staff amid the holiday backlog, and our response rate jumped from 60% to 98% in under two months. Feels like we finally have eyes on the business 24/7 for heating system emergencies."

Common Questions
How does the chatbot handle emergency handyman requests after hours?
Our custom chatbot is designed for the unpredictability of home services. It recognizes urgency in messages—like 'leaking pipe now'—and responds immediately with triage questions, such as location and symptoms, while notifying your on-call team via integrated alerts. For instance, it can pull from your availability calendar to suggest the next slot or even book it directly. Trained on real scenarios, it provides interim advice, like basic shut-off instructions, to keep customers calm until you arrive. This setup has helped clients capture 90% of after-hours leads, turning potential emergencies into loyal repeat business without you ever missing a beat.
Can it integrate with my existing handyman management software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep integrations with tools like Housecall Pro, Jobber, or ServiceTitan, creating a single source of truth for your operations. The chatbot pulls real-time data—such as technician locations or inventory for parts like screws and paints—and pushes updates back, like new job entries. No more manual syncing that leads to errors in scheduling a cabinet install. Our enterprise-grade approach ensures secure, two-way API connections that scale with your crew size, reducing admin time by up to 50% and letting you focus on the hands-on work that builds your reputation.
What makes this chatbot different from generic ones for handyman services?
Generic bots spit out canned replies that don't understand handyman nuances, like estimating time for a deck repair versus a simple shelf install. Ours is custom-built from the ground up, trained exclusively on your service data, job histories, and client feedback. It uses advanced AI to handle specifics—quoting based on square footage or material types—and adapts to your voice, maintaining the personal touch clients expect in home services. We've seen handymen boost conversion rates by 35% because it feels like an extension of their team, not a robotic middleman, ensuring every interaction reinforces your industry-leading expertise.
How quickly can we get the chatbot up and running?
From consultation to launch, most handyman businesses see a fully operational chatbot in 4-6 weeks, depending on integration complexity. We start with a rapid discovery phase to map your workflows, then build and test iteratively—focusing on high-impact features like instant quote generation for painting jobs. Unlike lengthy off-the-shelf setups, our process is streamlined for SMBs, with minimal disruption to your daily repairs. Post-launch, we provide hands-on training and monitor for the first two weeks, optimizing based on live traffic to hit the ground running and start capturing those missed evening leads right away.
Is the chatbot secure for handling customer data in home services?
Security is paramount in client-relationship focused industries like handyman services, where trust is everything. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, compliant with GDPR and CCPA, ensuring sensitive info—like home addresses for a lockout service—stays protected. Data is stored in your owned system, not rented clouds prone to breaches, with role-based access so only your team sees job details. Regular audits and AI-driven anomaly detection prevent issues, giving you peace of mind. Clients using our solutions report zero data incidents, allowing them to focus on reliable service delivery without worrying about backend vulnerabilities.
How does it measure up in terms of cost savings for my business?
Handyman firms often waste 20-30% of potential revenue on missed leads; our chatbot eliminates that by providing 24/7 coverage without hiring extra staff. Initial build costs pay off quickly—many see ROI in 3-4 months through increased bookings, like adding 10-15 jobs monthly from after-hours queries. No recurring subscriptions mean long-term savings of $5K+ annually compared to multiple tools. It's an owned asset that scales, reducing dependency on outsourced call centers and freeing budget for tools like ladders or vans. Ultimately, it transforms operational gaps into profit, with proven benchmarks showing 25-40% lead growth.
