The 7:42 boiler call
went to voicemail. Not any more.

A small team of AI agents that answer the phone from under a sink, text back the ones you miss, chase Tuesday's quote on Wednesday morning and keep the diary straight, set up and run by real people in the UK.

Your team

Four agents. Each does one job properly.

You switch them on and off. Nothing public goes out without your tap. Everything they do shows in your portal, and a named person at Tandem listens to the real calls every week and sharpens them.

Questions plumbing & heating owners ask

The honest answers.

Will customers know they're talking to AI?

Yes. Grace says so at the start and your privacy notice says calls are recorded. Customers care that someone picked up at 7:42, not who typed it.

What happens with a gas smell or a flood?

Those words are on an escalation list you control. Grace never gives safety advice: she tells the caller what to do about a gas smell, then rings your on-call engineer in order until someone picks up, and logs everything.

Does it work with my diary and job software?

Google Calendar, Tradify, ServiceM8, Commusoft and most job sheets. If yours has no API we run the diary in your portal and mirror it for you.

What about Checkatrade and Google leads?

They ring your number, and now the number gets answered. Marie keeps the profiles current and asks for the reviews that keep you at the top.

How long to go live?

We agree the scope and rollout plan with you after discussing your business, diary and job software. Timing depends on the setup and integrations required, with testing and your sign-off before launch.
