A website chatbot for handyman service websites
Most handyman jobs start with a list: a leaky faucet, a door that sticks, a TV to mount. The chat lets visitors dump the whole list, checks it fits your services, and books one visit.
Questions your visitors ask
Answered from your own website
VisitorCan you mount a TV?
VisitorDo you do small repairs?
VisitorWhat is your hourly rate?
VisitorDo you patch drywall?
Each one answered, or turned into a lead for you
How it works for handyman services
Paste your website address. The assistant reads your services, prices, hours and service area, then answers visitors in plain words. When someone is ready, it takes their name and number or an appointment request and emails it to you at once.
Anything it can't answer from your site goes on a short list. Answer it once and it's covered from then on.
Can it answer my phone too?
Yes, with our sister product AI Phone Front Desk. Connect the two and they share one set of answers and one leads list, the chat can offer "Text me" or "Call me back", and you get one combined report. Together they cost $139 a month instead of $178.
Will it make things up?
It is told to answer only from your website, your files and your notes, and to say "I'm not sure" otherwise. You can see every conversation, and every question it could not answer lands on a list for you to answer once. Like any AI it can still get something wrong, which is why the chat says that answers come from AI.
What happens to my leads?
Each lead is saved in your dashboard, where you can export a spreadsheet. Email alerts include contact details and conversation excerpts; delivery depends on provider availability and your alert settings. SMS also requires a configured sending number and a Business or Agency plan.
My site was built on Wix (or Squarespace, Shopify, GoDaddy). Does it work?
Yes. You paste one line into the site builder's custom code box; we have step-by-step guides for 20 website platforms, plus Google Tag Manager and any other site. On WordPress you can upload our plugin instead. Some sites build their pages with JavaScript and are hard to read; if yours is one, the preview shows it and you can add your FAQs or a PDF instead.
What counts as a reply credit?
Weighted reply credits: an AI answer uses 1, 2, 4 or 5 reply credits depending on the answering model; tool use can add extra credits. For example, 2,000 credits cover 400 premium answers before tool surcharges. Your visitors' messages, the greeting, lead forms and your own replies are free. If you run out, the chat keeps taking messages and you can add more reply credits or move up a plan.
Does it say it is a robot?
Yes. The chat window says "AI assistant", and if a visitor asks, it says so. It never pretends to be a person, and any visitor can ask for a real one.
How do I cancel?
From Billing in your dashboard, in two clicks. Within 7 days of paying you get a full refund automatically. After that, it runs to the end of the month you paid for.
Who are you?
AI Chat Front Desk is run by Ratio Visuals LLC, which also processes the payments. Contact info@ratiovisuals.net for issues. This is a self-serve service with no staffed support or guaranteed response time.
