    The call you can't answer is the job your competitor books.

    Kevin is an AI receptionist for your trade. He picks up when your hands are full, asks the questions you'd ask, flags what can't wait, and writes the whole thing down before you've climbed off the ladder. From $9.99/month — no per-minute fees, no scripts to write.

    Built for plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians and contractors.

    1. Caller

      Hi. Do you guys do toilet replacement?

    2. Kevin

      Yes, we do toilet replacements. The cost typically ranges from $175 to $650.

    3. May I have your name, please?

    4. Caller

      My name is Jonathan.

    5. Kevin

      Hi Jonathan. Are you looking to replace an existing toilet, or is this for a new installation?

    6. Caller

      Do you have any availability for next Tuesday?

    7. Kevin

      Yes, on Tuesday, August 11th, we have openings at 7:00 AM, 8:00 AM, and 10:00 AM. Do any of those work for you?

    Example conversation from the Hey Kevin app. Names and details are fictional.

    You're working. Your next customer is calling someone else.

    You can't answer from a ladder, under a sink, behind the wheel or mid-conversation with the customer in front of you. Voicemail hands the work back to the caller: leave a message, wait, hope. Most people won't. They hang up and dial the next name on the list — and that name gets the job you were already qualified to do.

    Kevin picks up instead. He finds out what the job actually is, how urgent it sounds and where it is, then hands you the write-up. You still decide who to ring back — you just decide with the facts instead of a name and a timestamp.

    How Kevin works

    One forwarding code during setup — no new number, no hardware, nothing to install for your customers. After that Kevin runs in the background.

    1. 1. Your phone rings first

      Nothing changes for you or your customers. You keep your number, and saved contacts always ring straight through to you.

    2. 2. Kevin picks up what you can't

      If you don't answer, Kevin answers in a natural voice, in seconds, and finds out who's calling and what they need.

    3. 3. He asks what you'd ask

      Kevin runs the intake questions written for your trade, and can flag a call that may need urgent attention.

    4. 4. You get the job, written down

      The caller, the job, the address and the urgency land in the app. Call back, dispatch, or ignore the spam.

    Hear it for yourself

    Don't take our word for it — be the caller. Ring the demo line, describe a job the way one of your customers would, and judge Kevin the way they will. It takes about two minutes.

    What changes the day you switch Kevin on

    Turn missed calls into leads

    Every caller gets a real conversation instead of a beep, so the opportunity doesn't die in your voicemail box.

    Know the job before you call back

    The job, the address and the urgency are waiting for you, so you ring the $2,000 call before the price shopper.

    Catch the ones that can't wait

    Kevin asks the urgency questions for your trade and can flag calls that may need urgent attention — an active leak, no heat, a burning smell.

    Never hear from a robocall again

    Sales calls and robocalls get handled quietly by Kevin instead of interrupting you or clogging your voicemail.

    A paper trail for every call

    Recent calls are written up and kept in the app, so nothing depends on what you think you remember from the truck.

    Answers your Spanish-speaking callers

    Kevin can respond in supported languages. Accuracy may vary by language, accent, audio quality, and call conditions.

    The questions Kevin asks, by trade

    Business plans use intake questions written for your trade. These are examples — you can edit the questions and add your own answers in the app.

    Plumbing

    Kevin separates a dripping faucet from an active leak before you call back.

    • Is water actively running or leaking right now?
    • Do you know where the shut-off valve is?
    • Which fixture or area is affected?
    • Is this a home or a commercial property?

    HVAC

    Kevin captures the system, the symptom and how long it has been down.

    • Is the system blowing warm, cold or nothing at all?
    • How long has it been out?
    • Is anyone in the home elderly, ill or an infant?
    • What type of unit is it, if you know?

    Electrical

    Kevin asks the safety questions first, so you know what you're driving to.

    • Do you smell burning or see smoke or sparks?
    • Is the outage the whole property or one circuit?
    • Has a breaker tripped more than once?
    • What was running when it happened?

    General contracting

    Kevin qualifies the scope so estimate calls don't eat your evening.

    • What kind of work are you looking to have done?
    • Is this a repair, a remodel or new construction?
    • What's the property address or town?
    • Do you have a timeline in mind?

    Landscaping

    Kevin sorts one-time cleanups from recurring maintenance.

    • Is this a one-time job or ongoing maintenance?
    • Roughly how large is the property?
    • What needs doing — mowing, cleanup, planting, hardscape?
    • Is there gate or equipment access?
