AI for the trades
AI for Handyman Services in New Hampshire
A disclosed AI receptionist that answers every call, a custom-coded website built for the next generation of AI search, and automation that follows up. Built in New Hampshire for handyman businesses here and for trade businesses nationwide.
The countable leak
A property manager's turnover list needs one callback
A property manager needs a punch list of turnover repairs done before a new tenant moves in Monday, so on Thursday they call handymen to line one up. You are on a job with a drill in one hand and a stud finder in the other, running your whole business solo, and you cannot stop to answer. The call rings out. They call the next name in their list, and a steady stream of turnover work from a repeat commercial client goes to whoever answered first.
- Turnover and punch-list repairs from property managers
- Small jobs that add up, missed because you are solo and on a tool
- Honey-do and multi-task home repair requests during the workday
- Repeat and referral customers who call once and move on
Optimus builds handyman businesses one connected system: an AI receptionist that answers and books every repair request, a custom-coded website that gets found in Google and in AI answers, and automation that texts back the calls you miss with a drill in your hand. It is built for the one-person operation, where you are the office and the crew, and every call you take is a call you are not billing for.
One system
Built around how handyman businesses actually work
An AI receptionist that is the office you do not have
Running solo, you cannot be on a ladder and on the phone at once. It answers every call, asks what needs doing, roughly how many tasks, and the address, and books the visit. It says it is an AI assistant, then it becomes the front desk a one-person operation never had, so no billable call rolls to voicemail.
A website built to be found and cited for handyman work
We hand-code your site to load fast and to be readable by Google and by AI answers, so when a homeowner or property manager searches or asks an AI who does small home repairs in your area, your services, your service area, and the jobs you take on are structured to be surfaced and quoted ahead of the gig-app listings.
Missed-call automation for a one-person crew on a tool
With a drill running and nobody covering the phone, calls slip. A missed call sends an instant text that holds the customer until you can call, so a property manager's turnover work does not walk to the next handyman. Every request, call or missed call, is captured in one place with the details and the recording.
Straight answers
Questions handyman businesses ask us
Customers call a handyman for a personal touch. Will an AI put them off?
It says it is an AI assistant, then it does the practical part: it captures the tasks, the address, and the timing, and it books you. Customers calling several handymen reward the one who responded first, and you still show up in person to do the work. Hear a sample before you decide it fits your business.
My jobs are all different. Can it handle a long list of unrelated tasks?
Yes. It captures each task the caller describes, from a leaky faucet to a squeaky door to a mounted TV, and gets the rough count and the address so you can plan the visit. It does not price the list blind, but it gives you a clear picture of the job before you book the time.
Can it quote my hourly rate or a flat price for a job?
It can share your standard hourly rate or a service-call fee if you set them, but it does not commit to a total on a mixed task list sight unseen. It captures the scope and books the visit where you confirm the price, so you never get held to a number a caller heard that does not match the real work.
I am a one-person business. Is this overkill for me?
It is the opposite. A solo operator is exactly who loses the most to missed calls, because there is no office to catch them while you work. It gives you full phone coverage and a real website without hiring anyone, so the small jobs that add up stop slipping to voicemail.
How is it priced and can I cancel?
You get your exact price on a 15-minute call. The website is a project you own, the AI is a flat monthly line with no per-minute meter, and it is month to month. It is priced for a one-person operation, and if it is not earning its keep, you leave.
