[Read the case study](https://midnightflow.ai/portfolio/automate-plumber-service-calls) > Someone would text us at 8 PM with a plumbing emergency, and by the time we saw it the next morning, they'd already hired someone else. Now, every single inquiry gets an immediate response, day or night. Our booking rate tripled, and we actually had to hire two more technicians to keep up with all the new appointments. Owner, EZ Flow Plumbing ## Your office still decides what goes on the schedule. 1. ### 9 calls missed while your team was on jobs. Each one is a homeowner who will call the next company on Google if nobody gets back to them. 2. ### Every caller texted back in a minute.

Nothing goes on your schedule until someone in your office confirms the slot. 4. ### Your office still decides what goes on the schedule.

A chat assistant answers when you ask it something. This runs on its own when a call goes unanswered at 6 p.m. or a job is marked complete, works inside your field-service system and your phone system, texts the customer, and asks you or your CSR at the moment a decision is needed. It is a process that runs around the clock across your systems, not a conversation. ### Is this an AI receptionist that answers my phone? No. Your calls ring where they ring today, and your team answers them. We start where a call was missed, an estimate went quiet, or a job closed, and we carry that one process through your phone system, your field-service system, and your office, with a person deciding the parts that need judgment. ### Jobber and others sell an AI receptionist for a monthly fee. Why pay for a build? If you run one truck, a built-in receptionist may be all you need. With a dispatcher, several lead sources, and a schedule your office protects, you need every call and lead answered the same way, in your wording, with the job details gathered and your office confirming every slot. That is what we build and keep running. ### Who looks after it once it is live? We can. On the care plan, we monitor it, fix it, and make your changes, so your team does nothing. If you would rather run it yourselves, we hand it over. Either way it lives in a FlowRunner account in your business's name, so it never depends on us. ### We run on ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, or Jobber. Will it work? Yes. We connect to the systems you already use, including ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber, QuickBooks Online, your phone system, and your Google Business Profile. Your team keeps working where it works today, and the automation does the follow-through around it. ### What else will I pay for besides your fee? Two extras apply to every package. Your FlowRunner subscription is billed monthly by FlowRunner, and your AI model usage is billed by your AI provider. We set both accounts up as part of the build. See [FlowRunner pricing](https://flowrunner.ai/pricing). ## Fit check Tell us about your office and the process you would hand off first.
