Every customer gets a response, every time. Jobber AI Receptionist helps you win more work without constant interruptions.

Turn callers into booked clients

Missed calls shouldn’t mean lost leads. AI Receptionist can offer to book a visit, capture details of their request, or simply take a message. It can even text back callers who hang up, so your home services business never misses an opportunity. You control what your AI phone answering system can and can’t do.

Personalized service for your loyal customers

Save time coordinating service with existing clients. With your AI Receptionist, customers can get details about upcoming service, book and reschedule visits, or add a note for the team—without playing phone tag. It’s an AI answering service for small businesses and contractors that customers will truly appreciate.

Takes messages

It’s like voicemail, but better. Your AI phone answering service creates a task in your calendar to follow up, along with a summary of the conversation. It knows not to bother you with spam callers, so you can stay focused on the job.

Transfers calls when needed

Jump in when it matters most. Sometimes conversations need a personal touch. Let your AI Receptionist know what to listen for, and it will text you or transfer the call when it hears it.

Real-time monitoring

Every conversation is saved, just in case. Track every call and text message from your Jobber dashboard. You’ll be notified in real time as your AI Receptionist schedules jobs, creates requests, or takes messages.
