Side-by-side: what you get from each option.
The pack shows the working configuration behind the agent: the intake fields it asks, the prompt rules it follows, the routing logic it uses, the SMS and owner handoff it produces, and the eval calls it must pass. You can read the parts before you trust the phone line.
5 required fields and 9 optional fields map the caller into a clean job summary.
9 guardrails control pricing, scheduling, escalation, tone, and what Kai must never promise.
6 known mistakes are turned into operating rules before the agent ever answers a real call.
7 vertical evals test hard callers, edge cases, and setup-specific behavior for this pack.
EMERGENCY PROTOCOL — ACTIVE FLOODING: If caller reports active water pouring, burst pipe, or flooded floor, immediately say: 'First thing — if you haven't already, go find your main water shutoff valve and turn it off. It's usually near the water meter, in...
EMERGENCY PROTOCOL — SEWAGE BACKUP: If caller reports sewage backup or raw sewage smell, say: 'That's a health hazard — don't use any drains or toilets in the house until our plumber assesses it. We're flagging this as urgent.' Set urgency_tier=emergency.

Not just an answering service. A secretary that knows your trade.
Burst pipe flooding the house? Kai assesses severity, instructs the caller to shut off the water main, captures the address and damage details, and dispatches your on-call plumber. Callers get help instantly, not voicemail.
Frozen pipes in winter, flooding in spring — weather events create call surges that overwhelm offices. Kai handles overflow calls so every caller gets answered during your busiest days.
Kai classifies calls into water heater, drain, sewer, fixture, and emergency categories. Commercial jobs get routed differently than residential. Multi-visit jobs get follow-up scheduling.
Human answering services charge per minute. One frozen-pipe weekend could cost you hundreds in overage. Kai is $69/month flat whether you get 10 calls or 500.
