    An AI receptionist for contractors who can't stop working to answer the phone

    You keep your number and your phone still rings first. When you can't pick up, Kevin answers, finds out what the job is, notes how urgent it is, and sends you the details before you're back in the truck.

    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.

    The calls Kevin covers on a working day

    You're mid-job with a customer in front of you

    Walking away to answer costs you standing with the customer you already have. Kevin takes the new call so neither one gets dropped.

    You're driving between sites

    Kevin answers hands-free on your behalf and the summary is waiting when you park.

    The call comes in after 6pm

    After-hours mode changes what Kevin says and what it asks, so evening callers still get a real conversation instead of a beep.

    It's the fifth spam call today

    Robocalls and sales pitches get turned away without a notification, so your call log is customers only.

    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?

    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.
