# Home services and trades: software, AI and automation

> DevRaxo builds AI call answering, job booking, quote capture and simple websites for plumbers, electricians, builders, cleaners and other home-service businesses. The agent answers calls while you are working, collects the job details and books or messages you, so you stop losing work to missed calls.

- For: Plumbers, electricians, builders and cleaners

## The problems
- **Your hands are busy when it rings.** The call comes while you are on a roof or under a boiler, and the next job goes to whoever answers.
- **Quotes take your evenings.** Chasing details and photos by text eats the time you would spend with family.
- **Reviews and referrals are luck.** Happy customers rarely leave a review unless asked at the right moment.

## What we build
- **Answer while you work** ([AI receptionist](https://devraxo.com/services/voice/ai-receptionist/), from £1,900): Every call answered, the job described, urgency judged and you notified in seconds.
- **Fill the diary** ([Booking and reminders agent](https://devraxo.com/services/voice/booking-and-reminders/), from £1,200): Jobs booked into your calendar with travel time respected and reminders sent.
- **A site that brings the calls** ([Business websites](https://devraxo.com/services/web/business-websites/), from £1,500): A fast, local-search-ready site with a click-to-call and a quote form.
- **Quote and review automation** ([Workflow automation](https://devraxo.com/services/ai/workflow-automation/), from £900): Photo requests, quotes and review requests sent without you chasing.

## Questions
### Will customers be put off by an AI answering?
Most people care that the call is answered and the job is understood. The agent says what it is, and anyone can ask for you directly.

### What about emergencies?
You define what counts as an emergency, and those calls ring you immediately instead of waiting for a message.

### How much does it cost compared with a call-answering service?
We state per-minute costs up front so you can compare directly. The agent also books the job and updates your diary, which a message-taking service does not.
