AI chatbot for trades and home services

In short

A AI chatbot for a trades and home services business tackles one specific leak: homeowners ring and message all day with the same jobs and the same questions: can you come out, how soon, do you do this kind of work, where is my tech. Your techs are on the tools and cannot answer, so calls go to voicemail and web enquiries sit unread. After hours the burst-pipe and no-power calls, the ones most ready to book, just bank up as missed calls. Bamco builds it around the tools you already run, so it fits your operation rather than forcing you to change how you work.

The specific leak this plugs

Homeowners ring and message all day with the same jobs and the same questions: can you come out, how soon, do you do this kind of work, where is my tech. Your techs are on the tools and cannot answer, so calls go to voicemail and web enquiries sit unread. After hours the burst-pipe and no-power calls, the ones most ready to book, just bank up as missed calls.

This is not a generic problem with a generic tool bolted on. It is a specific leak in a trades and home services business, and the system is built to close it. You can see the full picture of where a trades and home services business leaks margin on the trades and home services industry page.

What Bamco builds

An assistant that answers and books from your live job data, day and night. It handles calls and web and SMS enquiries, answers what you cover and how soon you can come, captures the job details a booking needs, and writes the booking straight into ServiceM8 or Tradify with the customer, address and problem attached. It knows your service area and your calendar, so it books real slots. When a job needs a human, urgent gas or an insurance matter, it routes it to the right person with everything already captured, not a cold voicemail.

Two ways in
Ready to talk to the team who would build it?

Bring us the idea you already have, or book an audit and we map where the money is leaking. Either way, you deal directly with the senior team that designs and builds it.

What changes in week one, and by month three

Week one. From the first week, after-hours and busy-signal calls stop going to voicemail. Ready-to-book jobs get captured and booked instead of ringing the next name on the list.

Month three. By month three the assistant has learned the jobs your area actually generates, books a meaningful share of the enquiries that used to be missed, and gives you a record of what callers keep asking for, which tells you where the demand and the gaps really are.

What it costs

Engagements typically start around $50k and are scoped after a systems audit, priced as a fraction of what a legacy build of the same capability would have quoted. You get a fixed-scope proposal with a real number before anything is built, and you own what we build. The point is not the price. It is that a well-built AI chatbot for a trades and home services business is meant to pay for itself in multiples, by plugging a leak that is costing you every week it stays open.

Common questions

Questions, answered

Can it actually book a job into ServiceM8, not just take a message?
Yes. It reads your service area and calendar, captures the job details, and writes a real booking into ServiceM8 or Tradify with the customer, address and problem attached, so a caller books a slot rather than leaving a voicemail. When a job is urgent or complex, it hands off to the right person with the context already there.
Will it work with the tools our trades and home services business already uses?
Yes. Bamco builds around and into your existing stack, tools like ServiceM8, simPRO, AroFlo and the rest of what you run, rather than asking you to replace them. The AI chatbot connects to what you have so data flows instead of being re-keyed, and you keep the systems your team already knows.
