An AI receptionist for roofers.
Aroha answers the calls you miss while you are up on a roof. It flags an active leak straight away, books inspections and quotes into your calendar, and texts the caller a link to send photos, so you know what you are walking into.
A real kind of call
Caller: Water’s coming through our ceiling after last night’s rain.
Aroha: I’m sorry. Put a bucket under it and move anything electrical away. If the ceiling is sagging, keep everyone out of that room. I’m texting Tane as urgent now, and I’ll send you a link for a photo of the ceiling.
The owner gets the address, “active leak, ceiling ok, two storey” and a photo. Booked first thing.
