The 2 AM Problem
Business owners hate being woken at 2 AM. But they can't afford to miss a $5,000 emergency job. Human answering services either wake you for everything or miss critical details.
The Wake-Up Roulette
- ✕Wakes you for "my faucet drips" at 3 AM
- ✕Misses critical details on real emergencies
- ✕Can't determine severity without training
- ✕Emails notes, doesn't create jobs
The Intelligent Gatekeeper
- Asks: "Is water actively leaking?"
- If YES → Dispatch on-call tech immediately
- If NO → Book appointment for Monday
- Creates job in ServiceTitan automatically
