How a residential electrical contractor deployed an autonomous AI voice agent ("George") to triage emergency calls, validate service areas, and book jobs directly into technician calendars.
THE CLIENT
The client is a residential service business providing electrical contracting, emergency response, lighting, and renovation project work.
Inbound calls required 24/7 front-line dispatching to capture emergency and residential service leads.
Staff had to manually verify operational territory via ZIP codes, capture job details, and handle caller requests.
Finding and locking in available appointment slots manually delayed conversions.
Manual Dispatching
Inbound calls required 24/7 front-line dispatching to capture emergency and residential service leads.
Off-the-Shelf Tools
Systems that lacked real-time calendar syncing and custom intent detection workflows.
Deploy an AI voice agent named George to triage inbound calls, screen emergencies, validate service areas, collect caller details, and book jobs directly into technician calendars.
generic call handling lacks the real-time calendar syncing, emergency transfer logic, and service-area validation needed for efficient trade dispatching. That is the point at which they came to Coldi.
