In Austin, a homeowner with no AC does not leave a voicemail: they call the next company on the list. IA home is an AI dispatcher that picks up every call, sorts the emergencies and books the visit on your board.
Summer in Austin means overtime in the office or a call center that charges per call and does not know your business. IA home costs a fixed $99 plus the minutes you use.

Austin has a tech-savvy population, fast growth and very hot summers, with many customers who prefer to text. Companies here mostly serve tech professionals, new homeowners, landlords and small businesses.
Customers here expect instant answers. IA home responds right away, texts the time window and asks for photos before the visit.
It never takes card numbers on the phone: it texts a secure payment link instead, and it never promises a price outside your list.
The morning after a storm in Austin, forty calls arrive in two hours. IA home answers each one, separates active leaks from routine checks and builds the day on the dispatch board before the office opens.
Estimates for home service companies, peak months.
A repair or replacement lead that reaches voicemail is booked by the next company.
Heat waves and storms bring more calls than the office can pick up.
No AC at night or a burst pipe on Sunday: customers call until someone answers.
Plus overtime, training and turnover.
No scripts for your office to learn.
Every call on the first ring, 24/7, in English or Spanish. It introduces itself as your company's AI assistant and says the call may be recorded.
It applies your emergency rules, books visits on the board, quotes from your list and requests photos of the unit or the leak.
Summary, transcript, customer, visit and job details land on the dispatch board. Your office only sees what needs a human.
The same calls, handled differently.
