The problem every tradesperson knows

You're on a job. A new customer messages you on WhatsApp asking if you can quote for a boiler service. You don't reply for 4 hours because you're working. By then, they've already called three other plumbers and booked the first one who responded.

It's not your fault — you can't answer your phone and do the work at the same time. But the missed message problem compounds: evenings, weekends, bank holidays. Every time you're unavailable, you're losing jobs to trades who respond instantly.

A WhatsApp AI receptionist for tradespeople fixes this. It responds within 2 seconds, any time of day or night, with accurate answers about your services and prices. It qualifies the lead, books the job, and hands over to you with full context when you're ready. You get the work; your competition gets the voicemail.

Common questions

What is a WhatsApp receptionist for tradespeople?
A WhatsApp AI receptionist is an automated AI that answers your WhatsApp messages 24/7 — responding to enquiries, quoting prices, booking appointments, and collecting job details, just like a human receptionist would. It's trained specifically on your business so responses are accurate and on-brand.
How does the AI know about my services and prices?
During setup, we train the AI on your specific services, pricing, availability, and common customer questions. It learns your business inside out, so it answers customers the same way you would — without you needing to be glued to your phone.
Will customers know they're talking to an AI?
The AI responds naturally and on-brand. Most customers won't notice — they just get an instant, helpful reply. If you prefer full transparency, we can configure it to mention it's an automated assistant. You're in control of the tone and style.
Do I need a new phone number or WhatsApp account?
No. The AI works with your existing WhatsApp Business number. Customers message you as normal — the AI just handles the responses when you're not available or when you're on the tools.
What happens when a customer asks something complex?
The AI knows its limits. If a question is too complex, it'll say it needs to check with the team and immediately forward the message to you. You handle the tricky stuff; it handles the volume.
Can it book jobs and appointments?
Yes — it can collect job details, preferred times, and contact information, then either forward them to you to confirm or, where we've connected a calendar, book directly. Setup covers your preferred booking flow.
How quickly does it respond?
Within 1–2 seconds, at any time of day or night. That's faster than any human can type, and customers appreciate the instant acknowledgement — even if you need to personally follow up later.
Can I pause or turn it off?
Absolutely. You can pause the AI any time — when you want to handle a thread yourself, during a sensitive job, or permanently. You're always in control.
