Will it actually filter the tire-kickers?

Yes — that's the most-requested feature. It asks budget range early ('most of our kitchens run $30-60K — does that line up with what you've planned?'). If the homeowner is way under, it offers a referral to a partner shop or simply offers a callback from you. You decide where the threshold sits.

Can it handle commercial fit-outs and TI work?

Books as a site visit, flagged 'COMMERCIAL TI' on the SMS. We don't try to scope a 6,000 sqft retail fit-out over the phone — that's a meeting at minimum.

What about scope I don't take? Can it refer them out?

Yes. Tell us what scope you don't do (e.g., 'no second-storey additions,' 'no pool installs,' 'no septic'), and the AI politely says so on the call and offers a referral to a partner shop. The homeowner gets help; you don't get a wasted visit.

Will it know about Hamilton-specific permits and bylaws?

It knows the broad strokes: secondary-suite permits, ADU rules, basement legal-suite minimums. It doesn't replace your permit consultant, but it captures enough on the call that your scoping conversation starts where it should.

I am picky about leads. Can I customize qualifying questions?

Yes. Crew and Fleet plans let you set up to 10 custom qualifying questions ('do you have engineering drawings?', 'is this for a rental property?', 'what's your timeline?'). The AI asks them in a natural flow.

Dundas kitchen reno shopper.

Wednesday at 7 PM, Dundas. A homeowner is on her third call about a $35K kitchen reno. She's gotten two GCs to talk for thirty minutes each. She calls your shop. You're at a site visit in Ancaster. volttus picks up, asks the budget range (so you don't drive out for a $15K job you don't take), the cabinet preference (custom vs IKEA), the appliance set, and the timeline. Books an in-person walkthrough for Saturday morning. SMSs you "Kitchen reno, $30-40K range, Sydenham St, Saturday 10 AM."

That's not a missed call. That's a paid Google Ad you bought, then handed to your competitor.

We built a voice agent for Hamilton general contractors. It picks up.

How it works

Three things you do. The agent does the rest.

01
You forward your line.

Same number you’ve been giving to customers for ten years. We just answer the calls you can’t.
02
We teach it your shop.

Your services. Your pricing rules. Your service area — Stoney Creek, Ancaster, the Mountain, wherever you actually drive. Your overflow rules. Your dispatcher’s number.
03
It works the phone.

Picks up in under two seconds. Books the job into your calendar. Texts you the address while you’re still on the ladder. Transfers the emergencies.

Built in Hamilton

It knows the difference between Stinson and Stoney Creek. Toronto's agents don't.

Service area, neighbourhood pricing, dispatch zones, the way Hamilton trades actually quote — all tuned for the 905, 289, and 365. Real calls. Real books. Real Hamilton.

Stoney Creek Saturday, 6 AM

"My basement is filling up." Agent dispatches the on-call number, texts you the address, books a 7 AM slot.
Ancaster Tuesday, 2 PM

"Quote for a kitchen reno." Agent qualifies it, books a site visit Thursday, asks for square footage and access notes.
The Mountain Wednesday, 11 PM

"AC died, my mom is 84." Agent flags emergency, transfers the call to your phone with the address already on screen.
Dundas Friday, 4:55 PM

"How much for a panel upgrade?" Agent quotes your stock answer, books a free estimate for Monday morning.

What it does

It does six things. It does them well. That's the trade.

01
Picks up in under two seconds.

No "press 1 for service." No hold music. The phone rings, it answers, the customer talks.
02
Books straight into your calendar.

Google Calendar or Cal.com — the job is on your phone before the customer hangs up. No new dashboard. No CRM you have to learn.
03
Filters the tire-kickers.

Asks the qualifying questions you’d ask if you weren’t holding a wrench. Sorts a $5,000 reno from a "just curious."
04
Texts you what you actually need.

Name, address, scope, urgency, estimated value. Not a transcript. Not an email. A one-screen text.
05
Hands you the calls that need a human.

Big jobs, emergencies, repeat customers — it transfers them to you with the context already loaded. No re-asking.
06
Doesn’t pretend to be a person.

It tells callers it’s an AI. Hamilton trades respect that. Most callers do too.

How the AI agent earns the truck

Five promises the AI agent keeps — so it shows up like a good hire.

Most AI voice agents are sold by people who would lie to your customers. We won't. Here's what the AI agent does — and what it never does — to earn its place on your shop's phone.

It doesn’t pretend to be human.

No fake name. No fake voice quirks. We won’t call her "Sarah" or "Maya" or any of the names other vendors use to lie to your customers.
It doesn’t lock you in.

No annual contract. No setup fee. Cancel by text. We charge by the month because we have to earn it every month.
It doesn’t bill you per minute.

Flat monthly. Overages are ¢ per call, not ¢ per minute. You shouldn’t pay more because a customer wants to chat.
It isn’t built in Toronto.

We’re in Hamilton. We answer email from Hamilton. The agent learns your service area in Hamilton terms — Stoney Creek, Ancaster, the Mountain, Dundas — not "GTA West."
It doesn’t sell your data.

Calls are encrypted, PIPEDA-compliant, hosted in Canada. Transcripts are yours. We don’t train on your customers’ phone calls. The number on your truck is yours; the leads on it are yours.

Pricing, on the page

Two plans. No setup fee. No contract.

Flat monthly. Cancel by text. Thirty days, money back, no questions. Hamilton-only price lock for the first 50 trades. Before you buy, phone the AI agent — that's the demo.
