Older homeowners call. Younger ones text. TradeLead AI handles both with natural conversation — powered by OpenAI Realtime API with barge-in support. Your AI is active right now.
Understands plumbing emergencies, HVAC breakdowns, electrical issues, and roofing damage. Not a generic receptionist with a script.
Google Calendar, Twilio, and the field service tools you already use. No ripping out what works, just adding what's missing.
No installs. No hardware. Three steps and your phone never goes to voicemail again.
Forward your business line to TradeLead AI. Takes under 10 minutes — no apps, no hardware, no IT department required.
Our AI qualifies leads, books jobs, and takes messages — sounding like a real receptionist trained on your specific business.
