Questions handyman businesses ask.
Will it promise a price for a job it has not seen?
No. You decide whether each service shares a price, a starting point or nothing. For work that needs a look, it books an estimate visit or says you will follow up, and it never invents a number.
Does it book into my real calendar?
Yes. It checks availability from your Google Calendar or the built-in calendar and only offers open slots, so it cannot double-book. Hours, closures and service-area ZIPs come from your settings, never a guess.
Will it quote prices?
Only what you allow. For each service you choose never, a range, or an exact price. If a caller asks and you said never, it offers a callback instead of guessing.
What if a caller wants a person?
If you turn on live routing, it rings the numbers you set and connects whoever presses 1. Otherwise, or if nobody picks up, it takes a message with a callback number. You get a summary of every call by email.
Does it say it is an AI?
Yes, honestly, if asked. You control whether it also says so in the greeting and whether a recording notice plays.
