AI automation for service businesses

Turn more enquiries into booked work, respond while your team is busy, and automate the follow-up surrounding every customer job.

The everyday problem

Good Work Should Not Be Lost To Slow Follow-Up

Service businesses do their best work away from the inbox. OttBot keeps customer communication moving while your team focuses on delivering the service.

Enquiries arrive while you are working

Calls and messages come in while your team is with a customer, travelling or completing a job. Slow replies allow good opportunities to go elsewhere.

Too much time goes into administration

The same qualification questions, appointment messages and reminders are typed repeatedly instead of handled consistently.

Quotes go quiet without follow-up

A strong enquiry can disappear simply because nobody had time to check in, answer an objection or make the next step clear.

Customer context is scattered

Messages, notes, appointments and quote history sit in different tools, making every handoff slower and less personal.

From enquiry to booked work

Respond, Qualify And Book Without Living In Your Inbox

OttBot asks the questions your team needs, checks the workflow and guides the customer towards the appropriate next step. When judgement or a personal conversation is needed, your team receives the full context.

  • Capture the service, location, urgency and preferred date
  • Answer approved questions about pricing, availability and process
  • Book, route or prepare the enquiry for a quote
  • Escalate exceptions and high-value opportunities to a person

Works with your tools

Connect The Tools Your Team Already Uses

A good answer is only half the job. OttBot plugs into the everyday tools your team already relies on, your calendar, your CRM, your payment and email systems, so a single conversation can book the slot, update the record, take the payment or send the follow-up, with no copying and pasting between apps. New connections are added all the time, and if you need one we don’t have yet, we can build it.
