What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's chatbot, we'd get calls at midnight about burst pipes from frozen lines and scramble to call back in the morning—half the time, customers went elsewhere for emergency plumbing. Now, it books the emergency slot right away, sends a prep checklist for shutting off water, and integrates with our dispatch software. We've added three extra jobs a week without extending hours, boosting winter revenue by 15%."
Mike Reynolds
Owner, Reynolds Plumbing & Handyman Services
"Our old system couldn't handle the flood of inquiries during last summer's heatwave for AC tune-ups and duct cleaning. The AI chatbot we built with AIQ triages service requests perfectly, integrating with our calendar to confirm times on the spot and suggest energy-efficient upgrades. Response satisfaction jumped from 3.2 to 4.8 stars in two months, with 20% more bookings during peak heat."
Sarah Patel
Operations Manager, Patel HVAC & Home Repairs
"I was skeptical about a bot understanding nuanced handyman work like custom shelving installs or tile regrouting, but this one's trained on our past jobs data. It qualifies leads for weekend projects without us lifting a finger, sends photo upload prompts for accurate quotes, and we've cut no-show rates by 25% through automated text reminders over the past six months."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the chatbot handle urgent handyman emergencies like a broken water heater?
Our AI is designed for high-stakes scenarios in home services. It quickly assesses the issue through targeted questions—'Is water pooling? Any electrical involvement?'—then offers immediate advice or books an emergency slot from your calendar. If needed, it alerts your on-call team via integrated notifications. We've seen it resolve 70% of urgent queries without human intervention, based on deployments for plumbing-focused handymen, while ensuring safety protocols are followed to avoid liability.
Can the chatbot integrate with my existing tools like QuickBooks or scheduling software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations tailored to handyman operations. For instance, it pulls job availability from Housecall Pro and updates invoices in QuickBooks post-booking. This creates a single source of truth, eliminating manual entry that eats up 15-20 hours weekly for many service pros. Our custom builds ensure seamless data flow, with error rates under 1%, unlike superficial connections from generic platforms.
What if a customer has a very specific or unusual repair request?
The bot is trained on your unique service catalog, from standard fixes to niche tasks like historic home restorations. For anything outside its scope, it gracefully escalates to your team with full context provided—chat history, customer details, and even a summarized urgency level. This handoff is smooth, maintaining the 24/7 availability while preserving your expert reputation. Clients report 85% satisfaction in escalations, as the bot pre-qualifies leads effectively.
How much does a custom chatbot cost for a small handyman business?
Pricing starts at $8,000 for a tailored build, scaling based on complexity like multi-location support or advanced integrations. This one-time investment replaces ongoing subscription fees that average $2,000 yearly for basic bots. For a solo operator handling 50 jobs monthly, ROI hits in 3-4 months through captured leads alone. We provide a detailed quote after discovery, focusing on your workflow to ensure value without unnecessary features.
Is the chatbot secure for handling customer data in home services?
Security is paramount, especially with sensitive info like home addresses and payment details. We use enterprise-grade encryption, GDPR-compliant storage, and role-based access to protect data. Regular audits and vulnerability scans keep it robust against threats. In our handyman deployments, we've maintained zero breaches over 500,000 interactions, giving you peace of mind while focusing on wrench-turning rather than worry.
How quickly can we get the chatbot up and running?
From initial consultation to live deployment, it's typically 4-6 weeks for a custom handyman solution. We start with a rapid discovery phase to map your needs, then build and test iteratively. Unlike lengthy no-code setups, our engineering approach ensures it's production-ready fast. Post-launch, we monitor for the first two weeks, optimizing based on real repair inquiries to hit peak performance by week 8.
