AI CSR — Inbound Calls

A human-sounding AI agent that answers every call, handles objections on pricing and availability, books appointments directly into your field service CRM, and routes emergencies to on-call techs. No hold music. No voicemail.

Speed to Lead

Web forms, Google LSA, Angi leads, missed calls — the AI calls back within 60 seconds. Qualify, book, and confirm before the homeowner calls your competitor. Leads contacted in under a minute convert 3-5x more.

Hybrid Handoff

When the AI encounters a complex situation — commercial bid requests, warranty disputes, or a caller who insists on a human — it seamlessly transfers to your live CSR with full context. No dropped calls, no repeated information.

Book jobs around the clock

Real scenarios the AI handles while your team sleeps, eats lunch, or runs calls in the field.

Frequently asked questions

What can the AI voice agent handle for HVAC calls?

The AI answers inbound calls 24/7, books service appointments directly into your CRM, routes emergency calls (burst pipes, no heat in winter, AC failures) to on-call technicians, handles common objections around pricing and scheduling, and captures full lead details. It follows your dispatch rules and service area boundaries automatically.

How does call routing work for emergency HVAC requests?

You define urgency rules: no heat below 40°F, AC failure above 95°F, gas smell, carbon monoxide alert. The AI identifies these from the caller's description, skips the booking flow, and patches the call directly to your on-call technician or emergency dispatcher within seconds.

Will customers know they're talking to an AI?

The voice agent sounds natural and conversational. It knows your service area, pricing tiers, equipment brands you service, and membership plan details. Most callers don't notice. If a caller explicitly asks for a human or the AI can't resolve the request, it seamlessly transfers to your live CSR team.

Does the AI integrate with my existing CRM and dispatch software?

Yes. Tough Tongue AI integrates with ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber, and other major field service platforms. Booked appointments, customer notes, and call recordings sync automatically. No double-entry, no manual data transfer.

How does Speed to Lead work for HVAC web leads?

When a lead comes in from your website form, Google LSA, Angi, or any web source, Tough Tongue AI calls them back within 60 seconds. The AI qualifies the lead, books the appointment, and logs everything in your CRM. Leads contacted within one minute convert at 3-5x the rate of leads contacted after 30 minutes.

How is my customer data protected?

All call recordings and customer data are encrypted in transit and at rest. Your data is never used to train AI models. You control access, retention policies, and can delete records at any time. Tough Tongue AI is SOC 2 compliant.
