Fair warning to those out there: I've had terrible experiences with AI receptionists so far, to the point that I refuse to do business with anyone who uses them.

I went through hell on a home remodel project 6 months ago around this stuff. I got a quote from a reputable plumber and went to schedule the rough-in session. An AI receptionist answered, got confused during the scheduling flow and could not understand my address, asking me to repeat it over and over. And it couldn't forward to me to human.

If I'm paying you tens of thousands of dollars for remodeling work, I damn well better be able to get in touch with you. I found a different contractor and never looked back.
