Shema by Peniel — AI receptionist for home service shops

The difference

Three ways a missed call ends.

01 — Today

Voicemail

They hear a beep at eleven at night. Two in five never ring back, and you find out the next morning, if at all.

02 — The usual fix

An answering service

A stranger reads a script and takes a message. They cannot tell anyone what a repipe costs or when you are free, so you still call back.

03 — With Shema

Booked before they hang up

Picks up on the first ring, answers the real question, gives your price, and writes the appointment into your calendar.

On the line

Built to sound like the shop.

0.0s

Before it says hello

Faster than a person reaching for the phone. Then it waits a full beat after the caller stops. It does not interrupt and it is never in a hurry.

24/7

Nights and weekends

The 2am burst pipe gets a real answer.

$0

Per minute

Nothing metered. No per call or per booking fees.

0%

Calls written down

Every one transcribed and searchable in the morning.

Your prices

Said plainly, out loud

You teach it the ranges once. It quotes them with no softening and no apology, and it says so when a job is outside what it knows.

On the phone

A real call, start to finish.

Water heater leaking at 11.52 on a Tuesday. One minute forty seven seconds later the job is booked, the deposit is taken, and Dave is still asleep.

Name the shop first

The caller knows where they landed inside three words.

Solve before selling

If there is water on the floor, deal with the water.

Never claim to be human

Asked directly, it answers directly and carries on.

Close with what happens next

A time, a name, and a text on its way.

Full transcript A Tuesday, 11.52pm 00:00

Would rather try it than listen to it.

Open the agent in your browser and talk to it yourself. Ask it what a water heater swap costs. No number to dial, no card, no signup.

Talk to Shema

Fits what you already run

It plugs into the shop, not the other way round.

You keep the number on the van.

Nothing gets printed again. Your line rings you first, every time. Shema only picks up the ones you do not, and you can switch it off from your phone.

It writes into the calendar you already read.

Real open slots, not guesses. The appointment lands with the address and the fault attached, so nobody double books.

It quotes what you taught it, and nothing else.

Ranges, call out fees, after hours deposits. Asked something outside that, it says so and gets you rather than inventing a number.

Every call written down, searchable.

Full transcripts, the outcome and the recording. Read the ones that matter in the morning and skip the rest.

Common questions

The things owners actually ask.

Will it sound like a robot in front of my customer.

Listen to the call above and decide. That is the whole test. If it would embarrass you in front of a good customer, do not buy it.

Do I lose control of my phone.

No. Your line rings you first, every time. Shema only answers the calls you do not, and you can turn it off from your phone whenever you want.

Do I need a new number.

No. You keep the number on the van and on the truck signs. Nothing gets reprinted.

What happens on a job it does not understand.

It says it does not know, takes the details, and gets you. It will not quote work it has not been taught.

How long until it is live.

About a week. One call to set it up, a couple of days while we build it against your prices and hours, then you hear test recordings before it takes a real call.

What does it cost.

We quote it on the call, once we know your hours and your volume. Nothing is metered, so there are no per minute or per booking surprises.

The receptionist that never misses a call.
