Questions from contracting company owners.
Will the receptionist sound like a robot to my customers?
No. Your AI receptionist speaks in a natural voice you choose, keeps answers short, and reacts the way a person would ("Oh no, let's get that sorted"). Callers are told once, in the greeting, that they're talking to an AI, and the receptionist never pretends to be a person.
Can the receptionist capture bid request details?
Yes. Your AI receptionist asks about project type, scope, timeline, budget range, and location. You receive a structured lead with everything needed to prepare a bid.
What happens with an emergency at 2am?
Your AI receptionist answers at 2am the same as 2pm. When a caller describes an emergency the receptionist gives them the safety step first, takes the address, and sends you a text, an app notification and an email straight away. The receptionist tells the caller you'll call them right back and never promises an arrival time, so you decide when you go.
Does the receptionist handle subcontractor and supplier calls?
You can configure the AI receptionist to route sub and supplier calls differently. The receptionist captures messages, passes along scheduling updates, and keeps your communication organized.
Can the receptionist schedule site visits?
Yes. Your AI receptionist books estimate and consultation appointments based on your real-time calendar availability.
Will AlwaysRespond work for residential and commercial GC work?
Yes. Your AI receptionist adapts the questions based on whether the inquiry is for a kitchen remodel, new construction, commercial buildout, or tenant improvement.
