Will my customers know they're talking to an AI?
Yes. Ava introduces itself as an AI assistant for your business in a greeting you approve. What most callers care about is that someone answers, takes the details correctly and tells them what happens next. If a caller asks for a person, Ava follows your transfer or callback rules.
Can Ava book jobs straight into ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro or Jobber?
Not as a standard feature yet. Those connections are Planned and need account access and a feasibility test for your setup. Today Ava captures a complete job request in your AssistCall inbox, or books routine visits into one tested schedule. We never assume a connection works until it has passed a test.
What happens when someone calls about a gas smell, sparking outlet or carbon monoxide alarm?
Ava does not diagnose hazards or give repair advice. Your approved script tells the caller to get everyone out and call 911 or the gas utility from a safe place, and Ava then follows your on-call path so your team knows. Ava is not an emergency service and does not replace 911.
How does an urgent no-heat or no-AC call reach my on-call tech?
You choose the words that make a call urgent and the order of people to try, for example the on-call tech, then a backup, then the owner. Ava transfers to those approved numbers. If nobody answers, Ava tells the caller the request is logged and someone will call back. It never says a technician is on the way unless your team has accepted the job.
Can Ava keep up after a storm or during a heat wave?
With busy and no-answer forwarding set up, the calls your office can't take go to Ava instead of voicemail. Every caller gets the same intake questions and their own summary, and your urgency rules decide which go to the on-call path first. We agree how many calls at once your setup covers, and what happens beyond that, before the season starts.
Can Ava give customers a price or a quote over the phone?
Only the figures you approve, such as your published service-call or diagnostic fee policy. Ava does not estimate repairs, replacements or roof work. It records the quote request with the details your estimator needs and tells the caller when to expect a call back.
