Urgent calls while you are in a panel
You cannot answer with your hands in a live box, and the caller with no power is not leaving a message. They are calling the next license on the list.
AI that answers, books, and follows up for electricians.
Electrical work splits cleanly into two piles: the urgent and the profitable. A dead outlet circuit for a restaurant is tonight. A panel upgrade quote is this month. The shops that answer both, fast, and follow up on the second pile, are the ones adding trucks.
Where a electrician loses the week.
Quote requests from builders that stall
A GC sends three electricians the same plans. The first complete number back usually gets the job. Slow intake makes you the third bid every time.
Permit and inspection scheduling by phone tag
Inspectors, homeowners, and your crew all need the same Tuesday. Coordinating it by voicemail burns an hour a job.
Small jobs that are not worth a callback but are
Ceiling fans and EV chargers feel like interruptions, but they fill gaps between rough-ins at full margin. They only work if booking them is effortless.
What to automate first.
In this order. Each one pays for the next, and none of them requires new staff.
01
Answered while you work
The AI front desk picks up while you are in the panel, qualifies urgency, and books or escalates by your rules. You call back the ones that matter.
02
Bid intake that starts the clock
Plans and quote requests get captured, acknowledged instantly, and routed into your estimating flow. Builders stop wondering if you got it.
03
Scheduling without phone tag
Customers book from your real availability by text link. Confirmations and reminders go out automatically.
04
Small-job pipeline
Quick jobs get a flat-booking path with pricing ranges stated up front. The calendar fills its own gaps.
Learn it, or hand it to us.
The Saturday workshop teaches you to build and run the system yourself: $497 early bird, one afternoon, and you leave with a working prototype. If you would rather pay for the outcome, the AI front desk build is $2,500 plus $497 a month, and larger workflow builds run $1,500 to $5,000 setup.
Every engagement starts with a free 15-minute assessment call. See full services and pricing.
Questions electricians ask us.
Can it give pricing or will it overpromise?
It quotes only what you put in the script: service call fee, ranges for common jobs, or nothing at all. It never invents a number. If a job needs a look, it books the look.
We do commercial and residential. Can it route both?
Yes. The intake splits by job type from the first question, so commercial inquiries get the right questions and the right follow-up, and residential calls book into the residential calendar.
What is the cheapest way to try it?
The Saturday workshop, $497 early bird. You build the receptionist yourself in one afternoon and the seat price credits toward a done-for-you build started within 60 days. Or skip the workshop and start with the free 15-minute assessment.
Can I learn to run this myself?
Yes. The Saturday workshop in Fort Smith is hands-on and no-code: you build your own AI receptionist in one afternoon and call it live before you leave. Seats are $497 early bird and credit toward any done-for-you build started within 60 days.
What if I want it built and managed for me?
That is the done-for-you path. Start with the free 15-minute assessment, and if the ROI is there we build, launch, and manage the system, including on-site work under the retainer for larger operations.

Start with the free assessment.
Fifteen minutes, your business details, and a straight answer on whether automation pays for itself in your operation. If it does not, we will tell you that too.
