HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and other home service pros lose jobs the same way every time: a call missed on the job site, a quote that never gets followed up. Standby sets up an AI support team that answers the phone, chases quotes, and keeps your crew's schedule tight.
You can't answer the phone with your hands full of pipe or a customer's breaker panel open. Most contractors we talk to are losing a real, countable number of jobs every month simply because the call went to voicemail, or the quote they sent never got a follow-up call.
An AI support team answers every call — including the real emergencies, which get flagged straight to you — books the job, and follows up on quotes so estimates don't go cold while you're on-site.
Built around how trades actually work — hands full, phone buzzing.
Routine calls get booked straight into your schedule; real emergencies get flagged to you directly, in real time.
Estimates sent to customers get a timely follow-up call or message — so the job doesn't go to whoever called back first.
Crew schedules confirmed, materials reminders sent, and no-show risk flagged before the day even starts.
We scope this together at your audit — the AI is trained on your business's actual definition of urgent, and true emergencies route straight to you.
Both. Solo operators and larger crews use the same underlying setup — it scales to how many trucks and technicians you run.
Every engagement starts with an AI Readiness Audit (~$300–750, credited toward a build) — after that, most contractors land in Build & Teach (~$1,500–5,000) or Managed AI Team.
