AvaYour first day10 stops
  1. Good morning, Tony. I’m Ava. Your shop is set up, and I’ve been answering your phone since last night.
  2. Let me show you around your first day. Two minutes, then it’s yours.
  3. Show me
  4. This is Home. One line sums up the day: 3 jobs across 2 Service Pros, about $1,864 on the books.
  5. Under it are your goals: 15 jobs a week, with 14 booked so far, and weekends off. I steer every day toward both.
  6. What needs me first?
  7. Everything that needs you, most important first. Each card is something I already did or lined up; it only needs your yes.
  8. Two to start with. Pat found more work at Dan Ruiz’s, a scorched outlet, and your price book says $165, so that’s the price I filled in. And storms are likely tomorrow afternoon, so I’d move Glen’s rooftop job to Saturday at 2:00. Pat is free then.
  9. Yes to both
  10. Done. And here’s everything I did on my own since midnight: I moved Nina Castillo to Saturday, took Ray Morales’s no-power message at 6:52, and marked Priya’s $400 paid.
  11. Each one says why I did it. If I got one wrong, flag it.
  12. What are you doing right now?
  13. I’m on a call with Owen Hale. He’s asking what a new 100-amp panel costs, so I’m offering a site visit.
  14. Every call lands here with what was said and what I did. Regina Alvarez wants a ceiling fan put in today at 2:00, and Pat is free then. Assign Pat?
  15. Assign Pat
  16. Pat’s on it. Here’s today by Service Pro: Pat at the Ruiz job at 9:00, Sam on Priya’s EV charger at 1:00, and Regina’s fan at 2:00.
  17. Showers are likely from 7:00 tonight, and calls pick up after a storm, so I’d hold 7 to 9 tomorrow morning for urgent calls.
  18. Hold it
  19. Held. Now money: $1,229 is still owed on 2 invoices, none over 30 days, and $436 has come in.
  20. Payroll on Friday the 9th is about $5,400, and only $629 is due in before then. I’d ask for the deposit on the approved job, remind the unpaid invoice and fill next week’s open time.
  21. Ask for the deposit
  22. It’s written and waiting in your queue. Nothing reaches a customer without your tap.
  23. To keep you at 15 jobs a week, I have 3 ideas: postcards to 201 homes near W Main St, a review ask for Priya, and a text back to a caller we missed. Two of them are free.
  24. Approve the 2 free ones
  25. Approved. They wait in your queue until sending is on, and the postcards wait for your yes, since they cost money.
  26. Last thing: I’m on every page. Type in Ask Ava, or tap me and talk. Ask what needs you, who owes you, or where everyone is.
  27. Got it, Ava
  28. That’s your first day: a few yeses from you, and I take care of the rest. When you sign up, I set up your own shop and show you around it.

Hear it for yourself

Hear Ava answer as your shop.

Give Ava your shop’s website. She reads it, learns your services and hours, and answers your phone the way she will on day one. When you hang up, she tells you what she did before you ask.

AvaReady to answer

“Thanks for calling your shop, this is Ava, the shop’s AI assistant, and calls are recorded. What’s going on?”

  1. She finds your shop. Your services, hours and prices, from your website or the web.
  2. You call her. Be one of your customers. Try a hard one.
  3. She tells you what she did. The job booked, who’s going, and a price range for you to check.

Your phone line

Ava gets her own number, free. You keep yours.

When you go live, your shop gets its own Ava phone number, and there's no charge for the number. Your customers keep calling the number they know, and your phone company passes calls on to Ava's. You choose which calls she answers: every call, or only the ones you can't pick up, like when you're on a job, on another call or after hours.

Every call

Ava answers all of them, day and night, as your shop.

Start here

When you can't pick up

On a job or on another call, the call goes to Ava instead of voicemail.

After hours

When you're closed, the call goes to Ava instead of voicemail.

Change it any time. It's a forwarding setting with your phone company, and we walk you through it when you go live.

How it works

Set up once. Then Ava goes first.

  1. 1

    Ava reads your website

    About 5 minutes
    Ava

    She fills in your shop, your hours and your services from your own website, with starter prices for your trade where your site doesn't name one.

    You

    Hand her the address. Then check what she found and change anything that's off.

More customers

More reviews. Easier to find than the shops around you.

Customers pick the shop that answers, has fresh reviews and shows its work. Aestar does that part for you from the day you sign up.

Live

Every call answered

Calls you miss go to Ava, so the caller books with you instead of the next shop on the list.

Live

Reviews from your own customers

Every customer who pays you is asked for a Google review on their receipt, and by text once carriers approve your shop. Every customer, never only the happy ones.

Live

Your own website

Your services, prices, hours and a request form, built from what Ava found when you signed up.

Coming next

A post from every finished job

Ava writes it for Google, Facebook, Instagram and Nextdoor, with no customer names. Posting them for you is next.

Your goals

Tell Ava what you're working toward.

Say a goal in your own words: “$45,000 a month”, “weekends off”, “100 Google reviews”. She says it back with her plan, and where you stand sits at the top of Today, counted from your own invoices, schedule and reviews. Nothing is set until you say yes.

Who it's for

Built for the trades. Not for every business.

Aestar is for shops that send someone out to do the work: 47 home-service trades, from HVAC and plumbing to roofing, pest control and house cleaning. Pick yours and Ava starts with what counts as urgent in that trade, and its starter prices for you to check.

An HVAC call

  1. Caller · 2:30 PMOur AC is making a loud rattling noise. It's still cooling, though.

  2. AvaThanks for catching it early. Since it's still cooling, I can book a diagnostic. The first opening is tomorrow at 8 AM.

    • Checked it was still cooling before booking
    • Offered a real open time from the calendar
  3. CallerWhat does that cost?

  4. AvaThe diagnostic is $89, and we'll quote any repair before starting. Want the 8 AM visit?

    • Quoted the diagnostic fee from the price book
  5. Call ends

Questions

What shop owners ask first.

Still have a question? Ask, or hear Ava answer a real call at (480) 771-6324.

Ask AI

Will callers know they're talking to AI?

Yes. Ava says she's the shop's AI assistant at the start of every call, and that calls may be recorded. Most callers just want to get booked, and Ava makes that quick.

Do I keep my phone number?

Yes. Your number stays yours, and Ava gets her own number, with no charge for it. You choose which calls go to her: every call, or only the ones you can't pick up (on a job, on another call or after hours) instead of voicemail. It's a forwarding setting with your phone carrier, and you can change it any time.

What happens in an emergency?

If a caller mentions a gas or burning smell, smoke, sparks, a carbon-monoxide alarm or anyone hurt, Ava tells them to hang up and call 911 first. Other urgent calls — a leak, no cooling, no power — are marked urgent with the address and a callback number so your team can call right back.

Do texts go out to my customers?

Not until the carriers approve your shop's number. Until then Ava writes them and they wait, marked Queued, and nothing goes out.

Start with one call. Ava takes the next thing off your plate.

You're in charge. Ava asks before anything reaches a customer, and you can switch any step off.
