Hi! Thanks for messaging Summit Home Inspections. How can we help today?
I'm buying a house and need a full home inspection. How much do you charge?
Happy to help! Our standard inspection starts at $425 and covers structure, roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. Square footage and age of the home can adjust the price.
Sounds good. Can I get one this week?
Absolutely. Could I grab your name, phone number, and the property address? We will confirm a time shortly.
Maria Lopez, 555-204-9912, 482 Oak St.
Perfect, Maria. You're in our queue and we'll text you a confirmed time shortly. ✅

AI Receptionist for service businesses that helps turn missed calls and WhatsApp messages into booking opportunities.

The Problem

What happens when you miss a call?

Service businesses that work in the field can lose business when calls and messages go unanswered.

You're on a job, not by the phone

When you're on a roof, in a crawlspace, or driving between appointments, calls go straight to voicemail.

Slow responses can cost you customers

When no one answers, many customers move on to the next company.

Same questions, every single day

Pricing, service areas, hours, what you do — answering basics eats time you don't have.

Leads slip to competitors

A missed message can mean revenue handed to the business across the street.

The Solution

We don't just take messages. We install a custom AI assistant — taught your services, pricing, and policies — that talks to customers like a knowledgeable team member while you're out in the field.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the AI Receptionist

What does the AI Receptionist do?+

The AI Receptionist helps answer your missed phone calls and WhatsApp messages day or night, answers common customer questions, captures lead details, and sends qualified leads to you so you can turn them into booked jobs.

Is this a real AI, or a call center?+

It's a real AI assistant, not a call center. The AI Receptionist is trained on your services, pricing, hours, and FAQs, so it answers like your business would. And there's a real person at Clave you can reach when you need a change.

How is this different from voicemail?+

Voicemail only records a message, and most callers hang up instead of leaving one. The AI Receptionist actually answers the call, talks with the customer, answers their questions, and captures their details, giving you a lead to follow up on instead of relying on voicemail alone.

What happens when I miss a call?+

When you miss a call, the AI Receptionist picks up, greets the customer, answers their questions about pricing, services, and hours, captures their details, and sends the lead straight to your phone or inbox so you can follow up and book the job.

Does it answer WhatsApp messages?+

Yes. The AI Receptionist replies quickly to WhatsApp messages in English or Spanish, day or night, and collects the customer's name, phone number, address, and the service they need.

Do you offer a Spanish-speaking (bilingual) service?+

Yes. The AI Receptionist supports English and Spanish and replies in the customer's language, so Spanish-speaking customers feel welcome.

Is this suitable for small service businesses?+

Yes. The AI Receptionist is built specifically for small service businesses like home inspectors, roofers, HVAC, plumbers, landscapers, and general contractors — anyone who spends the day on a job site instead of by the phone.

Do you only work with Florida businesses?+

No. Clave is based in Florida, and our services are available to service businesses across the United States. The AI Receptionist can work anywhere your phone and WhatsApp do.

Does it work with my existing phone number?+

In many cases, yes. The AI Receptionist can work with your existing business phone number through call forwarding, and WhatsApp can use your existing number or a new one. We'll recommend the best setup for your business during your demo.

How quickly can you get me up and running?+

We aim to get your AI assistant ready to launch in about two weeks after receiving the information we need. Timing varies depending on your business's requirements, how quickly you provide the necessary information and approvals, and any phone or messaging setup involved. We train your AI assistant on your services, pricing, hours, and FAQs, connect it to your phone and WhatsApp, and keep you informed throughout the process.

What happens if I go over my plan's calls or messages?+

No surprise bills. We keep an eye on your usage, and if you're trending toward your limit we aim to reach out before you hit it. You choose what's next: move up to the next tier, or pause new activity until your plan resets next month. You stay in control.

How much does it cost?+

It's a simple flat monthly plan based on the service you choose (phone, WhatsApp, or both) and your expected call and message volume, plus a one-time setup fee to build and launch your assistant. Book a free demo and we'll walk you through the plans and find the right fit for your business.
