AI Answering That Understands Your Business

An HVAC call isn't a roofing call. A plumbing emergency isn't a cleaning estimate. And a kitchen-remodeling lead shouldn't be handled like an appliance repair.

Service Inbound gives service businesses an AI receptionist that can understand why customers are calling, answer questions, collect the right information, book appointments and get important calls to the right person.

The shared problem

Different Trades. Same Problem.

The customer called because they need something. Somebody has to answer.

Your business may spend thousands of dollars generating phone calls through Google, Local Services Ads, referrals, SEO, direct mail and repeat customers.

Service Inbound gives the call somewhere useful to go.

But when your team is
  • on another call
  • at a job
  • driving
  • closed for the night
  • booked in a meeting
  • handling another customer

the opportunity can still end up in voicemail.

FAQ

Industry Questions

Does Service Inbound work for my trade?
If customers call your business to get something fixed, installed, quoted or scheduled, Service Inbound can be configured for it. Every industry page shows the calls, questions and outcomes for that trade.
How does it know what my company does?
You add your services, service areas, hours, pricing guidance, booking rules and escalation procedures. Service Inbound answers based on your business, not a generic script.
Can it tell an emergency from a routine call?
Yes. You define what counts as urgent for your trade — an active leak, no heat in freezing weather, an electrical burning smell — and what should happen when one comes in.
Does it book appointments or just take messages?
It can book. Service Inbound can schedule service calls, inspections and consultations inside the windows you allow, and it can also simply collect information when you'd rather your office schedule.
What about calls for work we don't do?
You tell Service Inbound what you don't handle. Those calls get a clear answer instead of an appointment your techs would have to cancel.
Can it answer only after hours or only overflow?
Yes. Use it for every call, only when your team is busy, only outside business hours, or on a custom schedule.
Will customers know it's AI?
Service Inbound is designed to be helpful and natural rather than deceptive. It answers questions, collects details and books work without the maze of a phone tree.
Does it work with my software?
Service Inbound is built to fit alongside the field service tools trade businesses already use for scheduling and customer records.
