What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's chatbot, we'd lose half our weekend leads to unanswered texts about cloudy water from imbalanced cyanuric acid. Now, it books jobs overnight for stabilizer adjustments and integrates straight into our scheduler—we've added 12 new monthly contracts in just three months without hiring anyone extra, hitting $18K in new revenue."
Mike Rivera
Owner, ClearBlue Pool Services
"Our old system couldn't handle the summer rush of pH adjustment calls after backyard barbecues. The custom bot they built fields 80% of those on its own, providing quick tips on alkalinity testing, and clients love it. Revenue's up 22% this season at $45K, and my phone's finally quiet after 5 PM."
Sarah Kline
Operations Manager, AquaGuard Residential Pools
"I was skeptical about AI for pool repairs, but this chatbot caught a late-night inquiry about a leaking vinyl liner that turned into a $2,500 full replacement job the next day. It's trained on our specific processes for liner patching, so responses feel personal, not robotic. Best investment for our small team—ROI in under two months."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the chatbot handle urgent pool emergencies like a broken heater?
Our custom AI is trained to recognize urgency in queries, like mentions of leaks or malfunctions, and responds immediately with triage steps—such as advising on temporary fixes while booking an emergency slot in your system. For anything beyond basic guidance, it escalates to your on-call team with full context, ensuring no lead slips through. In pool services, where timing is critical, this setup has helped clients resolve 75% of emergencies within hours, preventing escalation to full replacements. We tailor the logic to your specific protocols, integrating with tools like your dispatching software for end-to-end efficiency.
Can it integrate with my existing pool service management software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with platforms like Jobber, Housecall Pro, or custom CRMs used in pool services. The chatbot pulls real-time data, such as service history or availability, to provide accurate responses—like confirming if a tech can handle a chlorine imbalance visit today. This eliminates manual lookups and ensures consistency. Unlike superficial connections that break, our production-ready builds create a unified flow, reducing errors in scheduling or quoting. Pool companies we've worked with report 30% faster response times post-integration, turning support into a competitive edge.
What if a customer asks a question the chatbot doesn't know?
We've designed it with intelligent fallback mechanisms. If a query stumps it—like a rare issue with saltwater chlorinators—the bot politely gathers details and routes to the right human expert via email, SMS, or internal alert, including the full conversation thread. This seamless handoff maintains trust, and over time, we retrain the AI with those interactions to handle more autonomously. In the fast-paced world of pool maintenance, where clients expect expertise, this approach resolves 90% of cases without frustration. Our goal is proactive learning, so your bot gets smarter with every seasonal cycle.
How much does a custom chatbot cost for a pool service business?
Pricing starts at $8,000 for a tailored build, scaling based on complexity like integrations or advanced features such as voice support. For a mid-sized pool company with 20-50 jobs weekly, expect $12,000-$18,000 including deployment and initial training. This is a one-time investment for ownership, not endless subscriptions—far below hiring a 24/7 rep at $50K+ annually. We focus on ROI: clients typically see payback in 4-6 months through captured leads and efficiency gains. During your free consultation, we'll map costs to your specific needs, like handling summer peaks without proportional expense hikes.
Is the chatbot secure for handling customer pool data?
Security is paramount in home services, where you're dealing with addresses, payment info, and service details. We use enterprise-grade encryption, GDPR-compliant storage, and role-based access to protect everything from chemical usage logs to client contacts. Regular audits and secure API connections ensure no breaches, even during high-volume interactions. For pool pros, this means peace of mind when the bot checks warranty status or schedules visits—data stays locked down. We've built this with input from regulated industries, so it's robust against common threats, letting you focus on keeping pools pristine rather than worrying about digital vulnerabilities.
How quickly can we get the chatbot up and running?
From consultation to live deployment, most pool service clients see results in 4-6 weeks. Week one is discovery, aligning on your workflows like emergency protocols. The next 2-3 weeks involve building and testing integrations, ensuring it handles scenarios like algae bloom inquiries flawlessly. Final week is optimization and launch. This timeline beats generic tools that take months to customize. Post-launch, we monitor for the first month to fine-tune based on real traffic, helping you capture those critical off-season leads right away without disrupting your operations.
