UK Trades pilot

What it is

An AI receptionist for UK trades — answers their missed calls, captures the job, texts and emails the details to the trade.

What the trade gets

  • Polly on their own number (via conditional forwarding) — not a new number to advertise.
  • 24/7 answering of missed calls.
  • 5 fields captured every call: name, address+postcode, job, urgency, callback.
  • SMS + email to the trade with every job, instantly.
  • First 7 days free. No card up front.
  • £99/month thereafter. Cancel anytime.

What's NOT in v1 (under-promise)

  • No live transfer to the trade mid-call
  • No calendar booking
  • No CRM integration
  • No outbound calls
  • No multi-line / receptionist for multiple staff
  • No website widget / chat

Trade categories supported

Plumber, electrician, gas engineer, boiler, carpenter, builder, roofer, decorator, plasterer, handyman, k+b fitter, landscaper. (See ICP.)
