# AI receptionist for general contracting

Subs, suppliers, inspectors and homeowners all call the same number. Heyly answers it, sorts them, and only interrupts you for the ones that are actually urgent.

## The problem

A contractor's phone is a switchboard with no operator. The call you needed was the inspector confirming Thursday, and it is buried under four supplier calls and a homeowner asking about tile.

## Calls it handles

- Homeowners asking for estimates on work you may or may not want
- Subs confirming or moving dates
- Suppliers on deliveries and back orders
- Inspectors and permit offices
- Existing clients with punch-list questions

## What it captures on every call

- Who is calling and which job
- What they need and by when
- Scope and budget signals on new enquiries
- Whether it can wait until end of day
- Best callback number

## FAQ

### Can it filter out the estimate calls I do not want?

Yes. Give it the jobs you take and the ones you do not, and it captures the fit before it reaches you. A ten-minute conversation about work you will never quote is the most expensive call in the trade.

### Will it interrupt me for everything?

Only for what you mark urgent. Everything else arrives as a summary you read between jobs.

### Can it handle the same client calling about two different jobs?

Yes. Heyly keeps context per caller, so it knows which job they mean and what was said last time.

### Does it work if I already have an office manager?

That is often the best case. Heyly takes the overflow, the after-hours and the weekend, and your manager stops working evenings.
