An AI front desk for your handyman business
See how Exydio could help a handyman business answer calls from a job, work out whether a task clears your minimum, group nearby work into the same day, and stop small jobs eating a whole afternoon.
Why handyman work is won and lost in the gaps
A handyman sells hours, and the hours have holes in them. Between the job that finished early and the one that starts at two there is time that either gets filled or gets lost, and it can only be filled by somebody who rings while you are up a ladder with a drill running.
So the phone gets checked at lunch, and by then the person who wanted a door adjusted has found someone else. Worse are the calls that do get through and turn into a twenty-minute job forty minutes away, which feels like work but quietly loses money once you count the driving.
The instinct is that this trade is too varied to automate. Every call is a different list of small tasks, so surely a human has to hear it. But the two questions that actually matter are the same every time: what needs doing, and is it enough work to be worth the trip.
Exydio asks both. It scopes the list, checks the job clears the minimum you set, and offers to bundle small work rather than booking a visit that loses you money. It takes the address on everything, so jobs in the same area can sit in the same day. The gaps fill while your hands are busy, and the trips that were never worth making stop happening.
What one missed call costs you
Handyman work lives or dies on the gap between jobs. Every call you cannot take is a gap that stays empty, and every job under your minimum is a gap that costs you money.
What Exydio handles for a handyman business
- Answers from the top of a ladder
- Checks a job clears your minimum before it takes a slot
- Groups nearby jobs so you are not crossing town twice
- Keeps a record per property, so repeat work starts warm
The calls it answers
Real questions handymen get, handled without anyone stopping what they are doing.
- “Do you do small jobs?”
- “What is your minimum callout?”
- “Can you hang a TV and fix a door in the same visit?”
- “Do you come out to my area?”
What it captures on every call
So the job arrives ready to work, not as a name and a number to call back.
- What actually needs doing, task by task
- Rough size, so the slot is the right length
- Address, for grouping with nearby jobs
- Whether materials are needed or supplied
One inquiry, start to finish
Follow a single customer from the call you missed to the one who comes back. This is an example scenario.
- 01
The lead that got away
You are on a ladder with a drill running. The phone goes and by the time you are down it has stopped.
- 02
You describe the business
The work you take on, your hourly or half-day minimum, your radius, and the jobs you would rather not quote.
- 03
Your front desk goes live
Your site is live and calls get answered without you coming down off the ladder.
- 04
The first one it books
Someone asks about a door that will not close and two shelves. The agent scopes it, checks it clears your minimum, and books the slot.
- 05
The follow-up runs itself
Reminders go out, jobs in the same area get grouped, and repeat customers come back to a record you already have.
Questions handymen ask
- Will it stop me being booked for ten-minute jobs?
- You set a minimum. If a job does not clear it, the agent says so and offers to bundle it with other work rather than putting a loss-making visit on your calendar.
- Can it keep me from driving across town twice?
- It takes the address on every booking, so work in the same area can be grouped into the same day instead of scattered across the week.
- Does it quote?
- It gives your published rates and your minimum. Anything that needs eyes on it gets booked as a look rather than guessed at.
