The problem

Every call you miss on a job is a customer ringing the next name on the list.

You can't answer with your hands full

Up a ladder, in a hot press, on the motorway. The phone rings at the worst moment, every day.

Voicemail loses the job

Most people with a leak or no heat won't leave a message. They ring someone else straight away.

Evenings go on callbacks

After a full day you're still phoning people back, writing addresses on the back of an invoice.

How it works

Live in an afternoon. Keep your own number.

No app for your customers and no new phone for you.

  1. Tell us about your business

    Your services, the areas you cover, your hours and when you're free for jobs.

  2. Forward your calls

    Divert your mobile or landline to Katya when you're busy, or for every call.

  3. Katya answers and books

    She asks what's wrong, takes name, number and Eircode, and offers a free slot.

  4. Everyone gets the details

    The customer gets a text confirmation. You see the booking in your panel.

What she does

Built around how trades actually take bookings

Gets the Eircode right

She reads it back character by character, so D04 X285 never turns into D40. No time wasted spelling out the full street.

Checks name and number

Names and phone numbers are confirmed back to the caller before anything is saved.

Texts a confirmation

Customers get an SMS with the job, time and Eircode as soon as the call ends.

Spots repeat callers

If someone who already has a booking rings again, she asks if it's a new job or a reschedule.

Answers out of hours

Evenings, weekends and bank holidays. She takes the details and books the next free slot.

Answers your FAQs

Call-out fees, areas you cover, whether you do gas or oil. You set the answers once.

Her voice

Warm, clear and Irish

Callers hear a natural Irish accent, not a call centre. Katya tells people she's an AI assistant at the start of the call, and passes anything unusual on to you.

Questions

What trades ask us

Do I need to change my phone number?

No. You keep your number and set a call divert to Katya, either all the time or only when you don't pick up.

Will customers know they're talking to an AI?

Yes. Katya says so at the start of the call, as EU rules require. In our experience callers care more that someone answers and books them in.

What if a caller has an emergency?

You decide what counts as urgent, like a burst pipe or a gas smell. Katya can put the call straight through to your mobile instead of booking a slot.

Where is my customers' data kept?

Your bookings are kept on servers in Europe and handled under GDPR. They're only used to run your bookings, never sold or shared.

Where do I see the bookings?

Every booking and message lands in your bookings panel with the caller's name, number, Eircode and the job, so you can check what was agreed before you head out.
