SwiftGuard
SwiftGuard is an AI receptionist for plumbing and heating businesses. When the plumber is under a sink or out on a callout, SwiftGuard answers the phone in the company's name, tells the caller it is an AI assistant, takes the caller's name, address and problem, and books the job into the connected Google Calendar based on real availability. A business chooses whether SwiftGuard answers every call or only the calls nobody picks up; forwarding is a short code dialled on the existing phone, so the business keeps its number. Callers can also move or cancel an existing appointment or leave a message, and every call lands in the dashboard with a recording, a transcript and the caller's details. Calls it cannot handle are flagged for a callback. The agent speaks English, Dutch, German, French, Italian and Spanish and switches language mid-call. Calls and transcripts are encrypted and deleted after 90 days. Three flat monthly plans include a bundle of call minutes with no per-minute charge.

OnCrew
OnCrew is an AI answering service built for home-service contractors (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, and more). It answers inbound calls in about two rings, 24/7, captures job details and caller information, runs trade-specific urgent-call triage, and emails a summary and recording after each call. Every call also produces a full transcript and a sentiment flag in a simple dashboard, so owners can review jobs from the field. Emergency calls are triaged with trade-specific questions, and urgent work is flagged for immediate handoff to the owner. OnCrew provisions a dedicated business phone number that works with call forwarding from any existing line, connects to Google Calendar for scheduling, and passes leads to other tools through Zapier. Setup is self-serve: pick a plan, describe the business, and OnCrew builds the receptionist automatically. Plans start at $49 per month with a 14-day free trial and no credit card required. Built for solo operators and small multi-truck teams.
