Janos Varga
‍Roofing Contractor

“I’ve got my hands full up on the roof, so I can’t answer the phone.” Since I've had Fonio, it doesn't matter. "Customers think they're talking to a real secretary because the AI understands technical terms like 'first tile' or 'gutter.'"

Lukas Kowalski
‍HVAC contractor

“When the phone rings in the evening because of a burst pipe, I’m often already off work or at a customer’s place.” In the past, the order would have been lost. Fonio answers the call immediately, briefly asks what's going on, and sends me the log to my cell phone. I'll only get in touch in real emergencies. Saves time and saves money.

Matthias Szabó
‍Carpenter

"In the workshop, you can't hear the bell ringing anyway." I used to spend another two hours on the phone returning calls after a 10-hour workday. Now Fonio handles scheduling on its own. The AI adds the event directly to my calendar. I'll pop in briefly after work and find out where I need to go tomorrow. "Simply brilliant."

Piotr Nowak
‍Painter & Varnisher

"Anyone who works with paint or varnish knows: Keep your phone in your pocket, or it'll be ruined 😂." Fonio is very helpful in that regard. People leave their requests, Fonio sorts them out, and by evening I no longer have a pile of notes—everything comes through email instead ."

Sounds like a human receptionist.

Electrician

The use of an AI Phone Assistant is suitable for electricians to answer calls, even when the electrician is on a construction site or with a customer. When the phone rings, electricians without an intelligent phone assistant are forced to interrupt their current work on power lines, fuse boxes, or distribution cabinets. With an AI Phone Assistant for electricians, no more time is wasted answering calls, and no more urgent requests are missed.

Plumber

An AI Phone Assistant is ideal for plumbers, as they are almost always on-site with customers and, in most cases, unable to take phone calls. The AI Phone Assistant for plumbers primarily helps with customer communication and ensures that there are fewer interruptions due to the phone ringing. With the AI-supported Phone Assistant, plumbers can fully concentrate on unblocking drains, repairing burst pipes, and sealing taps.

Car Repair Shop

An AI-powered phone assistant is used in a car repair shop to answer calls so that mechanics are not disturbed while working on engines, transmissions, and brake systems. Customers are able to schedule appointments directly with the AI Phone Assistant for the car repair shop for oil changes, tire changes, or car inspections. Upon request, the intelligent phone assistant enters the customer's details, vehicle type, license plate number, and year of manufacture directly into the car repair shop's appointment calendar.

Carpenters

Our AI Phone Assistant is suitable for carpenters, as it takes calls for the carpentry workshop. The AI Phone Assistant for carpenters is important for constantly answering calls when the carpenter is busy with saws or milling machines or is visiting a customer to take measurements for custom-made products. The AI Phone Assistant organizes pick-up and delivery appointments, installation jobs, and viewing appointments for the carpentry shop.

Joiners

Joiners benefit from an AI Phone Assistant because they are no longer disturbed by the ringing of the telephone while they are working. When joiners are working with woodworking machines such as saws, planers, or milling machines, it can be dangerous to answer the phone at the same time. AI Phone Assistants for joiners are used to answer frequently asked questions and coordinate appointments for assembly, pickup, or delivery with customers.

Hairdressers

Hairdressers use AI Phone Assistants to free up more time for cutting, coloring, and styling their customers' hair. An intelligent AI Phone Assistant reliably takes calls and organizes appointments for haircuts, coloring services, or hair care treatments. The AI Phone Assistant for hairdressers asks the caller for their personal details, hair type, as well as their preferred hairdresser, and agrees on a date and time for the appointment.

Painters

An AI Phone Assistant for painters is used so that they can concentrate fully on their work and on-site customers in homes, on construction sites, or during renovations. The AI Phone Assistant is used to schedule appointments with callers, checking the availability of the painting team, the materials required for the job, and the cost of the project. The AI Phone Assistant is capable of answering callers' questions about issues such as facade problems, painting, wallpapering, or interior painting.
