How It Works
Three steps from ringing to booked.
01
Forward Your Line
Set conditional forwarding on your existing business number. After 4 rings or when busy, calls roll to TradeAnswer. Takes 60 seconds.
02
AI Answers In Your Voice
Trained on your trade, your service area, your pricing rules. Sounds like a real dispatcher who knows the job.
03
You Get The Job
Full transcript, recording, captured details, and a booked time slot pushed to your phone and your CRM. Ready when you climb down.
What You Get
Built like a work truck.
No fluff. No "AI assistant for everything." Just the receptionist features a busy shop actually needs.
+
24 / 7 Live Answering
Nights, weekends, holidays, lunch breaks, ladder-bound - every ring gets picked up by call two.
+
Smart Job Intake
Captures name, address, trade type, urgency, and a plain-English description of the problem.
+
Calendar Booking
Connects to Google, Jobber, Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan. Slots get held while you're still on the roof.
+
Spam & Telemarketer Filter
Robo-dialers and warranty scams get hung up on. Real customers always get through.
+
Bilingual English / Español
Switches mid-call. No more handing the phone around the truck looking for the Spanish speaker.
+
Instant Text + Email Recap
Full transcript, recording, and one-tap callback land on your phone before the customer hangs up.
Trades We Speak
Trained on the way your trade actually takes calls.
TradeAnswer knows the difference between a slab leak and a pinhole, an AFCI trip and a tripped main, a rolled shingle and a wind uplift. Every call gets routed and priced like a seasoned dispatcher would.
No. Your existing business number stays the same. We use conditional forwarding so calls only roll over to TradeAnswer when you don't pick up or when you're already on a call.
How long does setup take?+
Most shops are live in under 20 minutes. We walk you through forwarding, dial in your trade-specific script, and connect your calendar or CRM.
Will my customers know it's an AI?+
We're transparent - TradeAnswer introduces itself as your dispatch line. In practice, customers tell us it's the smoothest after-hours call they've had with any contractor.
What happens if the AI can't handle a call?+
It escalates. We can warm-transfer to your on-call tech, page the next person in rotation, or take a detailed message and text it immediately - your choice.
Which CRMs do you integrate with?+
Jobber, Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, FieldEdge, and Google Calendar out of the box. Custom webhooks for everything else.
Is there a contract?+
Month to month. Cancel anytime in the dashboard.
