Answer 1
Is this only for plumbers and HVAC?
No. Plumbing and HVAC are the first prebuilt templates, but any call-driven service business can test BuffedAI and configure its business profile and knowledge base.
AI receptionist for businesses that sell by phone
Never let a ready-to-book caller hit voicemail.
BuffedAI answers while your team is on the job, captures the request, flags urgency, and sends you a lead that is ready for follow-up.

Why it converts
It replaces the weakest part of the business: the unanswered phone.
Voicemail
Caller leaves half the story, waits, or calls the next business.
BuffedAI asks the follow-up questions while the caller is still on the line.
Answering service
Coverage can be expensive, script quality varies, and details arrive inconsistently.
BuffedAI captures the same lead fields every time and stores the record.
Hiring admin
A full-time hire is a fixed cost before the call volume is proven.
BuffedAI gives coverage immediately and scales with usage.
Pricing
Soft usage review in v1One saved job can cover the month.
