Offer customers an AI booking agent alongside online booking
A heating and cooling company whose owner prided himself on answering every call now lets an AI agent take bookings and maintenance calls, positioned as help for the team rather than a replacement.
Reported results
The source reports almost 50% of leads now book through the AI agent or online booking.
Let the AI handle maintenance bookings first (lowest risk).
Offer online booking as a second self-service route.
Keep emergencies routed to a person.
Review what share of leads book without staff.
⚠️ Watch out
Older customers may still want a person; keep that option visible.
