AI agents for local service businesses
Your customers see one thing: a call that gets answered. Underneath, a Depth Parallax agent qualifies the lead, books the appointment, updates your CRM, and follows up until they convert — around the clock, without adding a single hire.
The problem
Ads, referrals, SEO — you spend real money to make the phone ring. Then the lead calls during a job, over lunch, or at 9 pm, reaches voicemail, and calls the next business on the list.
Your team is with a customer. The next customer hears a voicemail greeting and hangs up.
A web form comes in after close. By the time someone calls back, they've booked elsewhere.
Maybes need three or four touches. Busy teams give them one, then the lead disappears.
What we do
We design, build, and run an AI intake agent tailored to your business. Your customers only ever see the surface. Everything below it is handled for you.
A natural-sounding AI agent answers every call, text, and website chat, instantly, in your business's voice.
The agent asks the questions your best intake person would, then scores every lead so your team knows who to call first.
Urgent leads ring your phone or text your team in seconds. Everything else lands in your CRM, logged and tagged, with no data entry.
Leads that don't book on the first touch get a timed sequence of texts and emails until they convert or opt out.
An example call
Here's what a typical after-hours emergency call looks like for a home services company, and everything the agent handles before the caller hangs up.
Thanks for calling Rivera Heating & Air. I'm the virtual assistant. How can I help tonight?
Our AC just quit and it's 88 degrees in the house.
I'm sorry, let's get someone out. Is anyone in the home elderly, an infant, or at risk from the heat?
My mom's here. She's 81.
Understood. I've marked this urgent and I'm texting our on-call technician now. You'll get a text with their arrival time in a few minutes.
Illustrative example. Your agent's script, questions and routing are built around your business.

Fast, modern websites designed to turn visitors into calls, with your agent's chat, booking and lead forms wired in from day one.
Automations for the busywork behind your leads: intake forms into your CRM, document requests, status updates, reminders and internal handoffs.
Who we serve
We work best with local businesses whose leads are valuable, time-sensitive, and usually come in by phone.
Maintenance requests and leasing inquiries answered around the clock, with emergencies sent straight to your on-call tech.
HVAC, plumbing, roofing and electrical. Emergency calls answered and dispatched, day or night.
New-patient inquiries booked straight into the schedule, with reminders that cut no-shows.
Quote requests, towing and service appointments captured while your techs stay under the hood.
Questions
Straight answers about how the agent behaves, what happens when something goes wrong, and who owns what.
Yes. Your agent introduces itself as a virtual assistant, and callers can ask for a person at any time. Being upfront builds trust and keeps you ahead of AI disclosure rules.
It takes a detailed message. Anything urgent or outside its script is transferred to your team or texted to your on-call phone right away.
Every agent has a fallback. If the AI can't pick up, the call rings through to your regular line or voicemail, so no call is ever dropped.
Calls, transcripts and lead data live in accounts set up for your business, with access limited to your team and ours. Recordings are kept for a fixed period and then deleted. We don't currently handle protected health information, so for dental and medical clients the agent takes scheduling details only.
Yes, done right. We register your texting number with the carriers and only follow up with people who contacted you first. Every message includes an easy way to opt out.
Your leads, transcripts, scripts and phone number are yours. If you ever leave, we export your data and help you move your number.
Plans start with a twelve-month term so your agent has time to be tuned and prove itself, and your rate is fixed for that term. After that, it renews month to month and either side can end it with 30 days' notice.
No. You keep your number, your CRM and your calendar. We connect to what you already use.
