Your phone beats the competition's receptionist to the punch on every single ring. Bundled AI minutes make normal weeks predictable, with transparent overage when call volume runs hot.

How it plugs into a Bakersfield HVAC line.

The AI triages no-heat from scheduled maintenance on every inbound, not a subset. Bookings land through your booking calendar with a local same-tech conflict check — no "let me check and call you back." Routine callers get booked live; emergencies get dispatched; vendors get screened and dropped to a callback queue. " Setup is self-serve: dashboard, flow builder, voice picker, port request — no onboarding queue.
