Published by Revo, which sells an AI receptionist for home service businesses. Reviewed November 10, 2026.

How Calls Are Answered

When a customer calls your business, the AI receptionist answers using your preferred greeting and follows your instructions for common questions. It speaks in both English and Spanish, making sure every caller feels understood. This approach ensures your business sounds professional, even when you are unavailable.

Booking and Follow-Up

The AI receptionist can book appointments directly into your calendar or field service software if connected. After the call, it sends a confirmation text to the customer and logs a summary for your records. This keeps your schedule organized and your customers informed without extra effort from your team.

Keeping You in the Loop

Every call is logged with a summary, so you can review what was discussed and follow up if needed. Some plans allow for call transfers, recordings, and transcripts, giving you more visibility and control over your customer interactions. This helps you stay on top of your business, even when you are on the job.
