InstallAI Receptionist

Pool service calls covered during the season rush, handed to a named person or a booked callback

When your line is busy or the office is closed, a voice agent picks up, takes the caller's name, number, address, and pool problem down, and reads them back to confirm. It then warm-transfers urgent calls to your service manager or books a callback with a named person at a set time, and you get a text with the confirmed details.

How it works

Watch it work

The same workflow you just saw in the hero, step by step. Sample data throughout.

  1. 01

    Kick-off call

    A 30-minute call on your hours, routing rules, who is on call, what counts as urgent, and your overflow and after-hours call volume. You leave with a fixed price and a go-live date.

  2. 02

    Days 1 to 7: route and ground

    We set the overflow and after-hours forwarding on your existing line, ground the agent in your services and policies, and wire the warm transfer and callback booking to your named people.

  3. 03

    Days 8 to 14: test and go live

    We run real calls across carriers, check every detail is read back correctly and every hand-off reaches the right person, then switch overflow on.

  4. 04

    Ongoing

    A text after every call, a morning callback list, a call log you can audit, and a monthly tuning pass driven by real transcripts.

What you get

The whole install

Overflow and after hours only

Your team’s phones ring first. The agent picks up on busy, no answer, or outside your hours.

Details read back

Name, number, address, and reason confirmed with the caller before the call ends.

Warm hand-off to a named person

A live transfer to whoever is on call, or a callback booked with a named person at a set time.

Text with confirmed details

Caller, number, reason, and who owns the callback, texted to you the moment the call ends.

Your routing rules, followed

Who gets which calls, which hours, and what counts as urgent. No improvising.

Morning callback list

Every after-hours call in one list, each with an owner, ready when the office opens.

Monthly tuning pass

We review real transcripts every month and tighten wording, routing, and hand-offs.

Who it is for

Made for this line of work

Pool cleaning, maintenance, and repair companies where seasonal surges bury the phone and recurring route customers are the core of the business. Typically 2 to 50 staff.

How it works here

The workflow in practice

Your team's phones ring first. Your existing line forwards to the agent only on busy, no answer, or outside the hours you set. The agent says plainly that it is your company's assistant, never a person, takes down the caller's name, callback number, address, service type, and preferred day, and reads them back to the caller to confirm. Green pool and equipment failure calls follow your urgent rule and warm-transfer to your service manager; other calls get a callback booked with a named person at a set time. It never gives water chemistry or equipment advice. You get a text with the confirmed details after each call and a morning list of after-hours calls with an owner for each callback. Spam and robocalls are screened out and never billed by the minute. Pool companies commonly run Skimmer or Pool Studio; the confirmed details go to your inbox or system for routing, and we do not claim prebuilt integrations with those systems.
