For a contractor or handyman, an AI receptionist answers while you are on a job site: it asks what the project is, where it is and when they want it done, books an estimate visit or a small fixed-price job, and logs the lead with those details. You call back with a proper quote instead of chasing a voicemail.

Point your phone number at an AI receptionist that answers while your hands are busy. It asks the caller what the project is, where it is and when they want it done, then books an estimate visit or a small job into your calendar. Pludor's AI receptionist does exactly this and also handles texts, WhatsApp and website chat in the same inbox.
It answers calls, asks about the project, books estimate visits or fixed-price small jobs, and logs the lead with the details. You then call back with a proper quote instead of chasing a voicemail. With Pludor, every conversation lands in one inbox, one calendar and a call log with the full transcript.
On Pludor, the first 10 AI-answered calls and 100 AI replies each month are free, with no monthly subscription required. Past that, calls and replies use credits priced at real cost x 2.5, and the exact cost is shown before you switch it on. New stores also get 500 free credits to start.
Yes, if you list each service with how long it takes and its price or deposit. The receptionist then books callers into real slots in your working hours instead of saying someone will call back. Pludor's service booking feature does this, with appointments showing on one calendar alongside your working hours.
Add the things callers ask about most: the types of work you take and don't take, your service area, minimum job size or call-out fee, typical lead time, and whether estimates are free. On Pludor you enter this in Answering > Settings, and the receptionist only knows what you put there, so keep it up to date.
It is safe for intake and booking, but it will not decide prices, give quotes you have not set, or diagnose problems - it collects details and books the slot you offer. It also tells you straight away if credits run out, and your store keeps working. You can test it by calling your own number and listening to how it answers before pointing real calls at it.
Yes. It asks the questions you set and books the matching service - a fixed-price small job for quick work, or an estimate visit for larger projects. On Pludor you define each service with its length and price or deposit, so callers get booked into a real slot either way.
No. Pludor is front-office software: it answers calls and texts, books services, captures quote requests as leads, and handles invoices and card payments. It is not a full field-service suite with job costing, parts inventory or technician routing, so many contractors keep their job app for that and use Pludor just for answering, booking and payments.
Multiply missed calls by the share of callers who would have booked, then by your average job value. Pludor has a free Missed Call Revenue Calculator where you enter your calls per week, miss rate, booking rate and job value, and it estimates the jobs and revenue lost per month and year. It is free and instant, no account needed.
No, it does not write quotes - it collects the project details and books the estimate visit. You send the quote or invoice yourself after the estimate. On Pludor you can do that from the same account, including deposits and card payments.
