AI agents for plumbers

What to hand to an agent first

• Missed-call text-back

  Every missed call gets a text asking what's wrong, the address and a good time, so the job isn't lost while you work.

• Job intake by SMS

  Collect photos, address and urgency, then drop a booking request on your calendar for you to confirm.

• Quote ranges from photos

  Draft a price range from the photos using your own price list, for you to approve.

• Review requests

  After each finished job, send a short thank-you with your review link.

Grok Bot routine: Missed-call text-back that books the job
Schedule: Always on (missed calls)

When I miss a call, text the caller within 1 minute: apologize, ask what they need, and offer two booking times from my calendar. Log the lead and notify me with a summary.

Rules: draft first, never send or post anything external without my approval. Keep summaries short.

Keep these human

• Emergencies (gas smell, flooding) should trigger a call to you, not a chat.
• Keep the agent quoting ranges only from your own price sheet; you confirm the final price.
