Problem

HVAC companies lose leads between the first form fill, the callback and getting a visit on the calendar

Caveats

The template description is brief, so expect to configure routing rules and messages yourself. Needs an OpenAI API key; Twilio SMS is optional and billed by Twilio (cost UNKNOWN). Texting customers requires their consent (for example under the TCPA in the US), and US business texting through Twilio requires A2P 10DLC registration. Check AI classifications before relying on them for dispatch.

Setup estimates are rough guesses for someone comfortable with the tools who already has the accounts and API keys. Real time is unknown until tested.
