The whole front desk

Everything your AI front desk does for handymen

From flat-pack assembly to fence repairs, here's everything your AI front desk handles the moment any job comes in.

Every channel, answered 24/7

Phone, SMS and website chat — however the customer reaches out, the AI answers and books instantly. Nights, weekends and public holidays included. No missed calls, no bounced texts.

Checks your calendar, books the job

It reads your live ServiceM8 calendar, offers only times you’re actually free, and locks the job in — client, job type and suburb attached. No double-bookings, ever.

Three booking tiers, your call

Choose how hands-off you go: Tier 1 captures the lead, Tier 2 books with a one-tap yes, Tier 3 adds emergency handling. You set the rules the AI plays by.

Reschedules & cancellations handled

Customers move or cancel without calling you. The AI offers new times, updates the diary, and only pings you when it’s last-minute. Freed slots reopen automatically.

Emergency escalation

Safety-critical jobs skip the queue — the call transfers straight to you with an instant SMS. The big after-hours work lands in your diary instead of someone else’s.

ServiceM8 sync & auto-invoicing

Every booking drops into ServiceM8 the moment it’s confirmed, and the invoice sends automatically on job completion. One system, zero double entry.

Handymen FAQ

Common questions

My jobs are all over the place. Can one AI handle that variety?
Yes — that’s its strength. It asks the right questions for each job type, whether it’s flat-pack assembly, a fence repair or a multi-item maintenance list, and books each one with enough detail for you to arrive prepared.
Can it list multiple small jobs on one booking?
For odd-job and property-maintenance visits it captures the full list of tasks upfront, so you can plan the visit and bring everything you need in one trip.
Will it stop me having to reply to every text during a job?
Completely. It answers and books the straightforward jobs automatically across SMS, phone and web, so you only hear about the ones that actually need your call.
Your trade. Your rules.
