In short
An AI receptionist is a voice agent that answers your business's phone calls 24/7 — it uses natural-sounding speech to qualify leads, book appointments, and handle emergency calls. Local Call AI is a flat $297/month with 250 minutes included, trained specifically on contractor workflows (HVAC, plumbing, roofing, electrical, landscaping, general contracting), files every call into Jobber or JobNimbus on the Connected plan, integrates with other field-service software, and works alongside Housecall Pro.

Contractors trust us
with their calls
"Before GetLocalCall, we were missing at least 10 calls a day during storm season. Now every single call gets answered, and the AI books inspections right on our calendar. We've seen a 42% increase in booked jobs since we started. It's like having a full-time receptionist who never takes a day off."

Every missed call

of consumers say they leave a voicemail
Fewer than half. In CallRail's September 2025 survey of 1,000 U.S. consumers, only 42% said they leave a voicemail when a business doesn't answer, and 82% said they'll call a competitor instead. Your voicemail isn't a safety net. It's a leak in your pipeline.

Three steps to
more booked jobs
Every call gets answered
Your existing business number rings. Our AI picks up instantly — no hold music, no "press 1", no waiting. The lead is captured the moment they call.
Leads get qualified automatically
Natural, human-like conversation. The AI asks the right questions — job scope, timeline, location, budget — so you know exactly what you're walking into.
Revenue hits your calendar
Jobs land directly on your calendar. You get an instant notification with the customer's info, job details, and scheduled time. Show up, do the work, get paid.

Get Started FreeYou stay in control
The fastest way to lose a good contractor is to hand strangers the keys to their day. We built this the other way around.
Callers never see your calendar
There's no public booking link and no list of your open slots. The AI books into your calendar only by the rules you set, or takes the job details for you to confirm — your schedule stays yours.
It tells callers it's an AI when they ask
No pretending to be a person named Jessica. Callers who ask get a straight answer, which is exactly what keeps a homeowner on the line instead of hanging up annoyed.
Every call comes back to you in seconds
Name, callback number, what they need, urgency, and the full transcript — sent the moment the call ends. Nothing sits in a portal waiting for you to go find it.
A human takes over when it matters
When a call goes past what the AI should handle, it captures everything and routes it to your on-call person so a real callback happens in minutes — not tomorrow.
Your CRM's built-in AI handles the easy 80%. We build the 20% that's your business.
Jobber Receptionist and Housecall Pro's AI receptionist are a fine fit if your call flow is simple: book a service, take a message. The calls that cost you money are the ones that need your rules. We set those up for each business, on the phone with you.
It tells an emergency from a routine call
We load your hours and your after-hours rules: overtime rates, trip fees, what counts as an emergency. A no-heat call on a Saturday night gets flagged urgent and sent to whoever's on call, and the caller hears your after-hours rate before they commit to a visit.
It knows your area, your work, and what not to quote
Your service area, the jobs you take and the ones you don't, and the only prices you're comfortable giving over the phone. Out-of-area callers get a straight answer, and anything you'd rather price on site stays off the call.
Every call lands where you'll see it
Each call shows up in your portal with the transcript, a summary and the recording, and you get an email alert when it ends. On the Connected plan, it's also filed into your Jobber or JobNimbus account.

Common questions
-
We set the AI up with your services, service area, hours and rules. When a customer calls, it answers instantly with a natural voice, works out what they need and how urgent it is, and books the appointment on your calendar (Google Calendar or Cal.com) or takes a detailed callback request. Callers never see your open slots. You get the caller's details and a summary the moment the call ends.
-
It sounds natural, and the conversation flows — callers ask questions and get real answers about your business. It tells callers it's an AI when they ask, and keeps helping.
-
Most businesses are live within 24 hours. We gather your business details, train the AI on your services and pricing, and configure call forwarding. You can start receiving AI-handled calls the same day.
-
For complex situations, the AI takes a message and immediately notifies you with full details. You never lose a lead — every caller is taken care of, even when escalation is needed.
-
Absolutely. The AI is trained on your specific services, pricing, service area, scheduling preferences, and FAQs. You can update this information at any time and the AI adjusts immediately.
-
No contract and, right now, no setup fee on any plan. Standard is $297/month with 250 minutes included, and you can cancel anytime. On Connected and Concierge, setting up your CRM connection and text alerts is included. We earn your business every month.
