Grande Prairie, ABAI receptionist for your business

AI receptionist for electricians in Grande Prairie.

An automated assistant answers your business, finds out what they want done, where and how soon, and never guesses at a price. It can take a message or note a time, then text you the summary. You confirm, decline, or suggest another time from a text. You keep your number.

She asked for a price. The assistant didn't guess one: it said you'd go over pricing, and asked the next question. Example written for illustration: "123 Electric", the caller and the address are made up.

Grande Prairie

A lot of electrical calls are quote calls

Plenty of calls to an electrician aren't emergencies. They're someone wanting a price on a panel upgrade, a garage subpanel, a hot tub hookup or an EV charger. People shopping for a quote may try more than one shop, and the one who gets back to them with the details sorted has a head start.

Around Grande Prairie that work is spread across the city and the County, from new builds to shops and garages. The assistant asks about the job and the address, and the caller can text a photo of the panel so you know what you're walking into.

Winter loads, winter calls

Grande Prairie's average January high is −8.3 °C (Environment Canada, 1991–2020 normals). Block heater outlets, garage heaters and heat trace all work hard in that weather, and a tripped circuit in January is a call people don't want to wait on.

If a caller mentions sparking, smoke, a burning smell or a shock, the first text they get tells them to get everyone safe and call 911, and you get an urgent alert right away.

How it works

Forward the line. We take the call. You get the text.

  1. Before

    Forward your business

    Keep your number. Forward the line, or after hours only, to the local number we give you (about one tap on most cell phones). We look for one in your own area code first. We send you the steps.

  2. A call comes in

    The assistant answers

    It takes the details, and offers to note a time from your hours or just take a message. Callers hear that this is an automated assistant. It never pretends to be a person, and it never quotes a price.

  3. You get a text

    You confirm, decline, or suggest another time

    From a link, or reply 1 or 2. The caller is texted either way. A reminder goes out the day before a confirmed time. Missed-call text-back is included if a call still goes unanswered.

What the AI receptionist will and won't do

  • If a caller asks, it tells them it's an automated assistant. It never pretends to be a person.
  • It only shares facts you give it, like your service area, the jobs you do and the jobs you don't take.
  • It never quotes prices or promises an arrival time. It can note a time from your hours; you confirm, decline, or suggest another from a text. Auto-confirm is off unless you switch it on.
  • If a caller asks for a person, is upset or has an emergency, it stops and alerts you right away.
  • It never gives repair instructions. Gas, smoke or sparking? The caller is told to get safe and call 911 first.
  • Rather not use AI? Email us and we'll switch it off.

Built for the trades first. It works for any business that wants the phone answered: salons, clinics, restaurants, shops and offices pick their type at signup and the questions change to suit.

Questions from Grande Prairie

Will it give a ballpark price?

No. Unless an amount is written word for word in your profile, any price is blocked before the text goes out. You can set it to say quotes are free, that there's a service call charge, or that you'll go over pricing when you call.

Can they send a photo of the panel?

Yes. Photos they text are saved on the lead and counted in your summary. If one comes in after the summary, you get a follow-up text about it.

Is it a real person?

No. It's an automated assistant, and it says so at the start of the call. It never claims to be a person. You confirm, decline, or suggest another time from a text.

How much is it?

Every plan has a 7-day free trial. A card is required. You're billed after 7 days unless you cancel. The AI receptionist is CA$199/month, Solo is $49/month, and Pro is $99.99/month. No setup fee, cancel anytime.

Can I try it before I sign up?

Call (825) 435-4870 to hear the AI receptionist, or (825) 479-6693 from your cell (hang up) to see missed-call text-back. Every plan has a 7-day free trial. A card is required.

Do I need a new phone number?

No. You keep your number and turn on "forward when unanswered" with your phone company, pointed at the local number we give you.
