Questions
AI receptionist for plumbing companies: FAQ
Can it give basic advice like shutting off the water?
Yes, if you approve that guidance. It sticks to simple safety steps you've signed off on and never diagnoses beyond that.
What if I only want it after hours?
Common setup. Your phone forwards to it after hours or when you don't pick up within a few rings; during the day you answer as usual.
How much does an AI receptionist for plumbing companies cost?
Setup is $997 one-time ($497 for founding clients), then $297/month for me to run and tune it, plus the SpaceBrain software from $99/month and call minutes by usage. No contract, and you pay setup only after approving the test calls.
Do I need to change my phone number?
No. Keep your number and forward calls to the receptionist after hours, when you're busy, or all the time.
