AI in Home Services — What’s Actually Working for You?

I’ve been testing a few tools in my tree care business and wanted to get real feedback from others in the field.

Recently switched from Ooma Office to Quo (formerly OpenPhone), and one feature that’s been working well is automatic text follow-up when a call is missed. Instead of voicemail, it asks for the address and service needed. It’s helped keep leads engaged and reduced missed opportunities.

Also using different call flows based on business hours, which has improved response consistency.

That said, AI voice receptionists still don’t feel fully there yet. Most customers can tell, and in this industry people usually expect to speak with a real person—especially for larger or safety-related jobs.

Curious to hear from others:

• What AI tools are you actually using in your business?
• What have you stopped using?
• What are the top 3 reasons you’ve kept a tool long-term?

Looking for real-world experience, not hype.
