Common questions

Will customers know it is an AI?

Yes. It introduces itself as your company's AI assistant and says the call may be recorded, as required.

What happens with calls it cannot resolve?

It takes a complete message, tells the customer when to expect a callback and puts the request at the top of the board.

Does it decide what is an emergency?

It follows your rules: for example no cooling with elderly or babies at home, active leaks or no hot water in winter. Anything unclear is treated as urgent and passed to the on-call technician.

Customers ask about customers who prefer text over calls. Can it send photos and details ahead of the visit?

Yes. It texts a link to send photos, model numbers or videos, and attaches them to the job before the technician arrives.

We get many calls about smart thermostats and heat pumps. Can IA home handle them?

Yes. You define the questions and the urgency for that type of call, and IA home asks them every time and books the right technician.
