Home service AI intake

Capture the job details before they scatter.

For plumbing, HVAC, roofing, restoration, electrical, and exterior trades, the first response needs more than a name and number. It needs enough context to route the next move.

Useful intake fields
Job contextIssue type, location, urgency, photos, access notes, and preferred callback path.
Business rulesWhat the agent can say, what it must ask, and when it escalates.
Follow-up trailSummary routed to the owner, office, CRM, scheduler, or job board.
Trade-ready examples

Different teams need different intake rules.

A useful AI intake workflow should reflect the questions your team already asks before a real quote, visit, maintenance task, or callback can happen.

Plumbing

Active leak, shutoff status, fixture, access, photos, and emergency callback rules.

HVAC

No-cool/no-heat details, equipment clues, occupancy needs, and approved dispatch boundaries.

Roofing

Storm timing, photos, leak location, roof type, insurance notes, and estimate follow-up.

Restoration

Water, mold, fire, photos, affected area, safety context, and human escalation.

Property maintenance

Tenant, guest, unit, access, vendor fit, photos, and manager-ready handoffs for property teams.
