Specter's AI Voice Agent answers every inbound call — day, night, weekends — qualifying leads, booking appointments, and making sure no opportunity ever goes unanswered again.
In home service, the phone is your front door. When a call goes to voicemail, that customer doesn't wait — they call the next contractor on the list. Your competitor answers. Your competitor gets the job.
Mike was 60 feet up a pine when a homeowner called about a storm-damaged oak. The call went to voicemail. By the time Mike called back two hours later, the homeowner had already booked a competitor. That job was worth $4,800.
Sarah's crew was finishing a commercial install when three residential AC calls came in. No one picked up. It was 94 degrees outside. All three homeowners booked with whoever answered first — none of them were Sarah.
Jake was mid-repair in a crawl space with no signal when two homeowners called about burst pipes — emergencies that needed someone today. By the time he surfaced, both had already booked another plumber. Combined value: $2,600.
home service inbound calls go unanswered — per industry research, the number may be higher.
Every one is a lead you paid to acquire — going to voicemail, then to your competitor.
calls per week — typical for a service business
missed per week (25%) — after hours, during jobs, overflow
One recovered job/week covers your retainer 2–5× over

Each scenario below shows how the agent handles a real inbound call — qualifying the lead, managing urgency, and booking the job without any human involved.
After Tropical Storm Idalia swept through Hillsborough County, Summit Tree Care's phones lit up overnight. Owner Dave was on a job site at 6AM with no way to answer calls.
The voice agent answered 31 after-hours calls, captured 28 leads, and booked 14 free estimates — including a $6,200 emergency oak removal — before Dave checked his phone at lunch.
During a 115°F Phoenix heat wave, CoolAir was fielding 60+ calls a day with a two-person office. Technicians were in the field and calls were hitting voicemail — which customers never left messages on.
The agent handled overflow during peak hours, answered pricing FAQs, and booked 34 AC tune-up and emergency repair appointments in a single week — without the owner or office staff picking up once.
After a hail storm swept through Hillsborough County, Ridge Runner's phones flooded after hours. Owner Chris was finishing a final inspection on a job site when calls started stacking up — none of them answered.
The agent fielded 22 post-storm calls, captured 19 leads, and scheduled 11 free damage inspections — including an $8,400 shingle and decking replacement — before the office opened the next morning.
We handle everything. You join two short calls, we learn how your business works, and we build a voice agent trained on your services, pricing, and how you talk to customers. No software to learn. No technical setup on your end.
We learn your services, pricing, service area, common questions, and exactly how you want calls handled. Your agent sounds like it works for your company — not a generic automated system.
We build your AI Voice Agent, connect it to your existing phone number, and run test calls with you before anything goes live. You hear exactly what your customers will hear — and approve it before we flip the switch.
Your agent goes live and starts answering every call. We review recordings monthly, tune responses as your business evolves, and send you reports on what it recovered for your revenue.
No voicemail. No hold music. Your agent picks up in under two rings, greets callers by your company name, and holds a natural, human-sounding conversation.
The agent asks the right questions, understands the service needed, and scores the lead — so when you follow up, you already know what you're walking into.
Callers can schedule an estimate or consultation directly during the conversation. The agent checks availability, confirms the time, and sends a text reminder — no human involved.
Emergency at 2am? Your agent identifies it, gathers the details, and texts you immediately — so you can decide whether to dispatch a crew without ever missing the job.
Trained on your services, service area, pricing, and policies. Callers with basic questions get real answers — not "please call during business hours."
Every call creates a contact record with the caller's name, number, service needed, and a full conversation summary. No data entry. No leads falling through the cracks.
Automatically request a Google review after every appointment. Auto-respond to new reviews within minutes. One setup, zero manual effort — your reputation builds itself while you focus on the work.
At your average job or appointment value, one recovered call typically covers your retainer 2–5×. Most clients recover 5–10 calls per month they were previously losing to voicemail.

Specter Suite goes beyond the Voice Agent — adding full CRM pipeline management, automated follow-up sequences, reputation management, and performance reporting. For businesses that want to automate the entire front office, not just the phone.
Most clients start on Voice Agent for 30–60 days, then expand to Suite once the ROI is clear. We'll walk you through what's right for your business on the strategy call — no commitment required.
No. Modern AI voice agents use natural-sounding speech — not the robotic voices you're thinking of. Most callers can't tell the difference. We'll play you a live demo on your strategy call so you can hear it yourself before you commit to anything.
Yes. The agent can warm-transfer any call to you or a team member based on rules you define — urgent requests, specific callers, or any situation that needs a human. You decide when and how it hands off.
Yes. In most cases we can route your existing number through the agent with no changes visible to your callers. We'll confirm this during onboarding — it's a standard part of the setup process.
The agent is trained on your business — your services, pricing, FAQs, and how you handle edge cases. Anything outside its knowledge base gets flagged and routed to you. It gets smarter the longer it runs.
Emergency handling is configured during setup. You define what counts as urgent — burst pipes, downed trees, after-hours HVAC failures — and the agent will escalate those calls immediately using the protocol you set.
Seven business days from your onboarding call to a live agent. We handle all the configuration, training, and testing. You review and approve before anything goes live. No technical work required on your end.
The agent runs 24/7 with no downtime. After-hours calls are handled the same way as daytime calls — answered live, leads qualified, appointments booked. You wake up to a full list of what came in overnight.
No long-term contracts. The retainer is month-to-month after a short initial period that covers our setup cost. Most clients stay because the ROI is clear — not because they're locked in.
