AI voice agent

AI answering service for locksmiths

A lockout is the definition of now-or-never: the caller is standing outside their house or car and hires the first locksmith who picks up. Telenow answers on the first ring at any hour, captures the location and situation, states your fee policy and pages your on-call locksmith.

The calls you’re losing today

Lockout callers never leave voicemail

Someone locked out at midnight dials down the list until a voice answers. Second place gets nothing.

Calls while picking a lock

Mid-job, your hands stay on the job — every inbound call is still answered, qualified and booked or queued for dispatch.

“How much to open a door?” shoppers

The agent states your pricing policy consistently, sets expectations about ID verification on arrival, and books the job instead of guessing a number.

What the agent handles

Capture the situation
House, car or business; locked out, key broken off, or lock damaged; exact address and callback number — with your ID-on-arrival policy stated up front.
2
Dispatch or book
Lockouts page your on-call locksmith with the address and a summary; rekeys, lock upgrades and safe work book real calendar slots.
3
Confirm & log
The caller gets a confirmation by SMS or WhatsApp; the job lands in your sheet or CRM as a structured summary.

Field service dispatch

Triages home-service calls by severity and routes deterministically: active hazards go straight to an on-call dispatcher, urgent jobs get a same-day booking, and routine jobs are scheduled — every call logged as a ticket.

Home-services quote intake

Captures quote requests for home projects — job type, scope and details — saves the lead, and books a free estimate visit so no enquiry slips away after hours.

Frequently asked questions

Can it dispatch my on-call locksmith at 3am?+

Yes — you define what counts as an emergency and who gets paged. The agent captures the address and situation, warm-transfers or notifies your on-call number, and tells the caller what to expect next.

How does it handle pricing questions?+

It states your approved pricing policy — call-out fee, what affects the price, payment methods — the same way on every call, and never invents a quote. Exact pricing stays with your locksmith on site.

Can the AI answering service use my existing locksmith number?+

Yes — forward your current line always or on busy/no-answer, or provision a new local number in the dashboard in minutes.

How much does a 24 hour locksmith answering service cost?+

Telenow bills per minute of actual talk time with itemized, component-level pricing (model, speech, telephony, platform fee). Unanswered and failed calls are not billed. There are no per-call fees and no long-term contract.
