Emergencies
An active leak, no heating in cold weather or no hot water: Sophie alerts the on-call technician. If there's a smell of gas, she tells them to leave the home and call 112.
What she never does
Sophie gives no final price without a visit and never gives dangerous technical instructions.
Sample call
Caller: Hello, my boiler has stopped and the house is cold.
Sophie: Hello, this is Sophie, the company's AI assistant, and this call is recorded. I'm marking this as urgent. What make is the boiler?
Caller: A Vaillant, it's showing an F28 code.
Sophie: Thank you. The on-call technician will call you back within the hour. Could you give me the full address?
How it works
- A 30-minute chat to set your hours, rules, emergencies and the questions to ask.
- Sophie is set up, usually within 48 hours. You try her through a link before switching her on.
- You turn on call forwarding (busy, no answer or after hours) to her +352 number. Your number stays the same.
- After every call you get an email with the name, number, request and urgency.
Fixed price, no lock-in
- Phone: €149 per month, 300 call minutes included, dedicated +352 number
- Phone + Email: €249 per month, 600 minutes, calls and emails in one place
- Email only: €79 per month, sorting of your general inbox
- Larger companies and multiple sites: on quote, from €490 per month
Extra minute: €0.20. Cancel any month: switch off call forwarding and everything is as before.
Honest: Sophie says she is an AI
In her very first sentence, Sophie says she is an AI assistant and that the call is recorded. She never pretends to be a person, gives no medical, legal or technical advice and takes no payments or bank details. When she isn't sure, she doesn't guess: she takes a message or offers to transfer the call.
