Receptionist
AI employee · Front desk · Phone
Asks whether water is coming in, takes the address and the number, texts you the job with the recording.
After a storm, every roofer's phone rings for three days and half the calls become somebody else's job. Maxxus.ai hires you a receptionist that captures every one in your name, a speed-to-lead agent that calls back the web forms within the minute your brief allows, and a setter that fills the inspection calendar, all disclosing that they are AI and none quoting a roof by phone.
The moment
You are on a roof when the leads come in, and a leak call left on voicemail is a leak call the next company gets. An AI receptionist asks whether water is coming in, takes the address and the callback number, and texts it to you. No inspection committed, no price quoted, just the job, captured while you finish the one you are on.
The roster
Three jobs from the roster, each briefed on your roofing company. Hire one to start; the others share the brief.
