    After-hours answering that knows what's worth waking you for

    Evenings and weekends are when emergency work comes in — and when nobody is at a desk. Kevin answers with an after-hours script, sorts the burst pipe from the quote request, and only pushes through the calls that meet your urgency rules.

    Nights, weekends and holidays for home-service businesses.

    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?

    What after-hours mode changes

    A different greeting

    Callers hear that you're closed and that Kevin is taking details — not a booking pitch that you can't honour until Monday.

    Urgency questions first

    Kevin establishes whether the situation is active and unsafe before it collects the rest of the details.

    Routine calls wait for morning

    Quote requests and scheduling enquiries are captured with full details and sit in the app until you're working.

    Emergencies reach you now

    Calls that match your urgency rules are alerted immediately rather than queued.

    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.
