FAQ

Straight answers before you connect ServiceTitan.

Booking, disclosure, review, and timing. If your question is about a specific shop, write us from the contact page.

Does this replace my after-hours answering service?

If your answering service only takes a message, yes, this is meant to replace that job. A ServicePilot AI receptionist answers, qualifies, and books into ServiceTitan inside your company rules. You can still hand off to a person when the call needs a human.

Does it book into ServiceTitan, or just take a message?

It books. The AI receptionist uses your services, hours, and scheduling rules to put the job on the board. The point is not a morning callback list. The point is a booked appointment you can see in ServiceTitan.

Do customers know they are talking to AI?

Yes. ServicePilot does not pretend to be a specific human employee. Voice leads as a virtual scheduling assistant. If someone asks whether they are talking to AI, the employee answers truthfully.

How soon can we take calls and send texts?

Inbound calls can start quickly after signup, once your number is live. Outbound texting for campaigns needs carrier approval, called A2P 10DLC. That review often takes 5 to 10 business days. ServicePilot handles the registration. You do not wait on texts to start answering the phone.

What if it is about to book the wrong job?

It only books inside the services, hours, service area, and emergency rules you taught it. If the call does not fit, it hands off to a person instead of guessing. You can review the call afterward and change the rules.

Can I listen to what it said?

Yes. Every receptionist call stays reviewable: what the customer asked, what was booked, and whether a person needed to take over. You supervise the employee. You do not have to trust a summary you cannot check.

Does this work with Housecall Pro or other CRMs?

ServicePilot is built for shops that run on ServiceTitan. Bookings, customers, and paid invoices stay in ServiceTitan. If you are not on ServiceTitan, this is not the right fit yet.

Do I need to connect ServiceTitan to get the 5 Reasons?

No. The free shop manual takes under 10 minutes. It does not need a ServiceTitan login, a sales call, or a credit card. You get a 7-day plan you can run even if you never hire us.

What is the 30-Day Missed Call Recovery Pilot?

After the 5 Reasons, qualified shops can apply to run Missed Call Recovery as an AI Receptionist assignment for 30 days. You see every attempt, response, booking, and ServiceTitan job, then decide whether to keep the employee.
