Cara for Handyman

Your handyman calls, answered day or night.

Handyman work is a hundred small jobs a month — and you can’t come down off a ladder to answer the call that books the next one. Cara, your receptionist, picks up day, night, and mid-job. She sorts a truly urgent call from a quote request, books the job onto the ClearLine365 calendar — and, from Starter, onto the Google, Microsoft 365 or Apple calendar you already use — and puts the lead in your hand a minute or two after the call ends.

Urgent-call triage — tuned for handyman calls

Cara knows an urgent call when she hears one

Urgent — “Broken lock — the front door won’t secure”, 6:10 p.m. → flagged urgent and in your hands minutes later
Estimate — punch-list repair visit → booked on the ClearLine365 calendar

24/7 call coverage. Every lead captured. Every caller heard.

Trade-tuned out of the box

Cara already knows handyman work.

Day one, Cara answers with a script built for your trade — the services you sell, the calls that can’t wait — and you tune every word to your business.

Services she books

  • minor repairs
  • drywall repair
  • door & window repair
  • fixture replacement
  • shelving & mounting
  • furniture assembly

What she treats as urgent

  • broken lock
  • water leak
  • broken window
  • loose railing

The default handyman triage list — add your own keywords in settings. If a call sounds life-threatening, Cara tells the caller to hang up and dial 911 first.

How she picks up

“This call may be recorded for quality. Thanks for calling Trueline Handyman. This is Cara, an AI receptionist. How can I help you today?”

The default greeting — “Trueline Handyman” is a sample; Cara answers with your business name. You can rewrite the greeting itself; Cara identifies as an AI and discloses recording on every call, and that opening notice is always said first.

Urgent calls get sorted from estimates

Cara asks the questions you’d ask, flags what can’t wait until morning, and books the rest onto the ClearLine365 calendar — and, from Starter, onto the Google, Microsoft 365 or Apple calendar you already use.
