Stop paying per minute for missed details
Traditional answering services charge $1-2 per minute and still miss key information. Their operators handle dozens of different businesses and cannot ask the right questions for your trade. LeadTruffle's AI knows to ask about tonnage for HVAC, GPM for plumbing, and square footage for roofing.
Your AI receptionist never sleeps
Emergency calls at 2am. Weekend leads from your website. Holiday inquiries from Angi. The AI handles them all instantly, qualifies the opportunity, and either books or escalates based on your rules. Wake up to qualified leads, not voicemails.

Frequently asked questions
What is an AI receptionist for home services?
An AI receptionist is software that automatically answers customer inquiries, qualifies leads, and books appointments for home service businesses like HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roofing companies. Unlike traditional answering services, AI receptionists respond instantly 24/7 and can handle multiple conversations simultaneously.
How does an AI receptionist differ from a live answering service?
AI receptionists respond in seconds (vs. minutes), cost 50-80% less than live services, never take breaks or call in sick, and can qualify leads with trade-specific questions. Live services offer a human touch but have higher per-minute costs and variable quality depending on the operator.
Can an AI receptionist book appointments for contractors?
Yes. LeadTruffle integrates with popular field service software like Jobber, ServiceTitan, and Housecall Pro to book appointments directly on your calendar. The AI checks availability and schedules estimates without double-booking.
What happens if a customer asks something the AI cannot answer?
The AI collects the question and customer details, then alerts your team for follow-up. You can take over any conversation instantly with full context. Complex or emergency situations are routed to on-call staff based on your preferences.
How much does an AI receptionist cost for home services?
LeadTruffle plans start at $79/month for up to 50 leads. Unlike per-minute answering services that can cost $500-1500/month, AI receptionists have predictable monthly pricing regardless of volume.
