KeptRing
Done-for-you AI answering service launched in 2026 for US contractors (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, restoration, remodeling and more). It only picks up the calls you miss, through your phone provider's no-answer forwarding, says up front that it's a virtual assistant, takes the name, address, problem and urgency, and emails you the lead right after the call. It doesn't book jobs, transfer calls or text callers yet. KeptRing writes the script and you approve it before it goes live. A good fit if you just want missed calls captured, not an AI dispatcher.

Home-services-specific AI front office aimed at larger shops, with a ServiceTitan-certified integration. Best fit for multi-CSR operations; pricing is quote-only.
AI CSR platform for larger HVAC, plumbing and electrical companies: books calls straight into ServiceTitan or Housecall Pro 24/7, responds to Google LSA, Yelp, Angi and Thumbtack leads, runs outbound campaigns (tune-ups, open estimates, memberships) and scores every call for CSR coaching. Built for multi-location operators with an implementation team; overkill for a one-truck shop.
Y Combinator-backed AI receptionist for HVAC, plumbing and electrical companies. Answers calls, texts and emails, books into your connected calendar, then keeps following up on new leads, unsold estimates and past customers (tune-up reminders, review requests). Newer and demo-led, so ask which FSM tools it connects to.
