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 ."
