AI employees for electricians

An electrician's calls split into two kinds: the panel that smells hot and the outlet that stopped working, and the second kind gets booked by whoever answers first. Maxxus.ai hires you a receptionist that takes both in your name, a coordinator that fills your calendar without double-booking, and a confirmation agent that makes sure the homeowner is there when you arrive.

The moment

The panel call and the outlet call arrive at the same time.

When you are in a live panel you cannot answer either one. An AI receptionist asks what is happening and whether anything smells hot or is sparking, takes the address and the callback number, and texts it to you. It never tells a caller to open the panel themselves.

The roster

Who to hire first.

Three jobs from the roster, each briefed on your electrical contractor. Hire one to start; the others share the brief.

A shift in this trade

What a call sounds like.

A sample call in one electrical contractor's brief. Every business gets its own brief, so your employees know your hours, your calendar and your prices, not a generic script.

Incoming call · 8:05 am

[SAMPLE CALL]
  1. Caller: Half the kitchen outlets are dead and the breaker will not reset. Is that dangerous?
  2. Employee: This is the AI assistant for [YOUR BUSINESS NAME]. Do you smell anything burning or see any discoloration at the panel or the outlets?
  3. Caller: No, nothing like that.
  4. Employee: Then please leave the breaker as it is and do not open the panel. I can offer a visit at eleven today or tomorrow at nine. Which works?

Booked into an open slot; the electrician was texted the symptom and the address.

The first-day brief

What your brief needs.

Ten minutes on the phone with us, and the three things only your electrical contractor can tell us.

  • The safety sentence you want given when a caller reports heat, smell or sparking.
  • Your licensed service area and the counties or towns you will not drive to.
  • Which work you quote by phone (none, usually) and which needs a visit.

Your first hire, by hours worked

A flat wage. Compare it with the hire you could not find.

Questions

Questions in this trade.

Will it give electrical safety advice?
Only the one sentence you put in the brief, and it never tells a caller to open a panel.
Can it schedule estimates and repairs differently?
Yes. You give it two calendars or two slot lengths and it books accordingly.
Does it handle the permit or inspection questions?
It says what the brief says and offers to have you call back. It does not improvise.
