Is the AI receptionist different for each industry?

The core features are the same. What changes is your setup: the services, questions, prices, booking rules, and emergency rules you give it for your trade.

Does AssistStaff integrate with industry software like ServiceTitan, Clio, or Vagaro?

No. It books on Google Calendar, sends text confirmations, and keeps its own call log, transcripts, and customer records.

Can I use it if my industry is not listed?

One AI receptionist for service businesses, set up your way

Every small business misses calls for the same reason: the owner is also the one doing the work. What changes from one trade to the next is the kind of call coming in and what should happen to it. A plumber needs a burst pipe flagged and sent to the on-call tech. A law firm needs intake questions asked and a consultation booked, with no legal advice given. A salon needs an appointment moved without interrupting a client in the chair.

AssistStaff is an AI receptionist for service businesses that you set up with your own services, hours, prices, questions, and emergency rules. The core is the same for everyone: it answers in a natural voice, books on Google Calendar, sends text confirmations, takes messages, answers from your knowledge base, transfers urgent calls, and logs every call with a transcript. The pages below show how that plays out in each trade.

Setup is the same for every industry: forward your existing business number, add your business details or upload a document with them, connect Google Calendar, set your urgent-call rules and transfer numbers, and go live. No coding is needed, and you can adjust the questions and rules any time from your dashboard.

Plumbers

Burst pipes, leaking water heaters, and backed-up drains rarely happen at a convenient time. The AI receptionist captures the address and problem while you are under a sink, books the visit, and transfers true emergencies to your on-call tech at night and on weekends. See the AI receptionist for plumbers page for the full call-by-call breakdown.

HVAC companies

Heating and cooling calls come in waves: the first heat wave, the first freeze. The AI answers several callers at once, asks your no-heat and no-cool questions, books repairs and seasonal tune-ups, and flags the calls you say are urgent. The HVAC page explains peak-season call handling and how many calls each plan answers at the same time.

Electricians

Outages, tripping breakers, and panel upgrade estimates. You set safety instructions for the AI to give first, such as telling anyone who reports sparks or smoke to call 911, and then it books estimates and service calls or transfers urgent ones. The electricians page covers safety scripts and estimate booking.

Law firms

Prospective clients call several firms and hire the one that answers. The AI asks your intake questions, collects the names of other parties so your team can check conflicts, books consultations, and transfers urgent matters to an attorney. It never gives legal advice. The law firms page covers intake, confidentiality, and Spanish-speaking clients.

Salons, spas, and barbershops

Booking, rescheduling, and cancellation calls arrive in the middle of a service. The AI books on your calendar, texts the confirmation, explains your cancellation policy, and answers price and hours questions from your service menu. The salons page covers booking rules and calls after closing.

Texas businesses

AssistStaff is based in Houston. The Texas page covers weather-driven call spikes, English and Spanish callers, recording rules in a one-party-consent state, and service for businesses in Houston, Dallas–Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, and beyond.
