6 known mistakes are turned into operating rules before the agent ever answers a real call.
Eval Coverage
6 vertical evals test hard callers, edge cases, and setup-specific behavior for this pack.

Why Electricians Choose Kai
Not just an answering service. A secretary that knows your trade.
EV Charger Lead Qualification
Kai asks about the vehicle type, garage setup, panel capacity, and amperage — so you show up to the estimate fully prepared. No other AI receptionist does this.
Emergency Triage Built In
Burning smell? Sparking outlet? Power loss? Kai assesses severity, gives safety instructions (turn off the breaker), and dispatches your on-call tech for true emergencies.
Panel Upgrade & Generator Intake
Captures home age, current amperage, reason for upgrade, and timeline. Qualifies generator leads (whole-home vs. partial, fuel preference) before booking the estimate.
$10/mo Flat — No Surprises
Ruby charges per minute. Smith.ai charges per call. Goodcall charges per customer. Kai plans are flat monthly from $10/month, with no per-minute overage.
