AI Receptionists & Answering

Wakeman

AI answering service launched in 2026 for plumbing, HVAC, electrical, roofing and restoration shops. Answers in your business name, says it's an AI, separates emergencies from routine jobs, confirms the address and texts the job to you or the on-call tech; can book into Jobber. Spam calls aren't billed and the pricing page is unusually transparent.

Not published (demo/quote)

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.

Not published (demo)

Budget AI answering for very low call volume. Hands off messages rather than booking into FSM software.
