What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's chatbot, we'd lose half our weekend leads to voicemail, especially queries on matching Sherwin-Williams shades for kitchen cabinets. Now, it handles initial color consultations, suggests complementary hues, and books three extra jobs per month—last quarter alone, that added $8,200 to our revenue from residential interior projects without extra hours."
Mike Reynolds
Owner, Reynolds Painting Pros, a 15-year veteran in residential and commercial painting in the Midwest
"Our crew was swamped during the spring rush for exterior siding jobs, missing inquiries about Behr weather-resistant paints for humid climates. The custom bot from AIQ responds instantly with durable option recommendations based on local weather data and integrates right into our Google Calendar for on-site estimates. It's like having a night-shift assistant who never sleeps, capturing leads for 12 new projects last season."
Sarah Patel
Operations Manager, Precision Coatings Inc., specializing in eco-friendly exterior coatings for suburban homes
"I was skeptical about AI understanding painting nuances, but this bot nails surface prep questions for drywall repairs and even suggests Zinsser primer matches for high-moisture areas. We've cut response times from days to minutes, landing a big commercial repaint contract for a 5,000 sq ft office space we almost overlooked due to after-hours timing."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the chatbot handle specific painting questions, like matching a custom color?
Our AI is trained on extensive painting datasets, including color theory and brand catalogs like Benjamin Moore or Behr. For a custom match, it asks for details like the existing shade or photo upload, then suggests close alternatives or books a specialist consult. In one case, a client got a precise match recommendation within minutes, securing a $2,500 kitchen repaint. We customize this to your expertise, ensuring responses align with your preferred suppliers and techniques for accurate, professional advice every time.
Can it integrate with my existing scheduling software for painters?
Absolutely. We build deep, two-way integrations with tools like Housecall Pro, Jobber, or even custom calendars. The bot can check availability in real time, book slots for estimates, and send confirmations directly. This eliminates double-entry errors that plague manual processes. For painting firms, this means a homeowner inquiring at midnight about deck staining gets an instant slot offer, boosting bookings by up to 25%. Setup takes just 2-4 weeks, tailored to your workflow.
What if a customer needs human help for a tricky job, like textured wall finishes?
The bot is designed for smart handoffs. It gathers all details—surface type, square footage, desired effect—then notifies your team via SMS or dashboard alert. No lead is lost; it's like a triage nurse for your painting ops. We've seen this reduce resolution times by 40% for complex queries. If it's simple, the AI resolves it on the spot with tips from your knowledge base, but always with an easy 'talk to a pro' option to maintain that trusted client relationship.
Is this chatbot secure for handling customer data in the home services space?
Security is paramount, especially with sensitive info like home addresses for estimates. We use enterprise-grade encryption, GDPR-compliant storage, and role-based access to protect data. For painters, this means secure handling of project photos or payment details without breaches. Our systems undergo regular audits, and we've never had a data incident in over 150 deployments. You own the data fully—no third-party subscriptions risking leaks—and we include features like anonymized lead tracking to safeguard privacy.
How much does a custom chatbot cost for a small painting business?
Pricing starts at $4,500 for a tailored build, scaling based on integrations and complexity—think $6,000-$12,000 for full CRM ties and advanced features. This is a one-time investment for ownership, avoiding $200+/month subscriptions. ROI hits fast: one painter recouped costs in two months via captured after-hours leads worth $10,000. We offer flexible payment plans and a free audit to scope exact needs, ensuring it fits your budget while delivering industry-leading performance.
Will the bot adapt to seasonal changes in painting demands?
Yes, our adaptive AI learns from interactions and seasonal patterns, like ramping up exterior paint queries in spring. We incorporate your historical data for proactive responses, such as suggesting weatherproof options during rainy seasons. For a mid-sized firm, this meant 18% more bookings during peak times. Quarterly optimizations keep it sharp, evolving with trends like sustainable paints, so your support stays relevant year-round without manual tweaks.
