AI solutions for your industry

AI for HVAC.

Keep the office moving. Keep technicians focused.

An AI team for service intake, estimate continuity and maintenance coordination, built around your dispatch rules and existing field-service platform.

Follow one real-world workflow

See how the work changes.

A proposed example, not a live product demo. Select each step to see what the agent prepares and what stays with your team.

01

A service inquiry comes in

The customer describes an equipment problem. The office needs a clear request, service location and the right next step.

A day in your business

Less assembling.
More deciding.

An after-hours inquiry arrives while the office is closed. The agent captures the request, explains approved next steps and routes safety concerns to the designated human process.

The owner outcome: Give the office a clear queue of service requests, replacement estimates and maintenance opportunities, without asking technicians to act as the administrative backstop.

Your business. Your AI team.

8 ways to put AI to work.

Choose the workflows that fit your operation. We design and implement each around your systems and your team, with clear approval rules. Start small or connect several.

Service Call Intake

Capture jobs while your team is on the tools.

The workflowCollects service address, equipment type, reported issue and availability; routes the request into your booking process.

Missed-Lead Recovery

Give unanswered inquiries another chance to become jobs.

The workflowFinds missed calls and unworked forms, prepares permitted follow-up and stops when the customer replies or books.

Your team stays in controlYour contact rules and opt-outs always apply.

Your team stays in controlA qualified technician determines the cause and remedy.

Solution options are scoped and configured for your business, not a claim of ready-made integrations. Existing software comes first. The implementation packages below include only the workflows listed in each package.

Discuss these solutions +

Connected to your existing work

The existing field-service CRM, dispatch calendar, approved service-area rules, business phone or web inbox and maintenance-agreement records. Booking or sending requires explicit approved access.

Use native automation where it already meets the need. These are design options, not promises of working integrations.

A focused first implementation

Start with one inbound channel and one approved service area. Test urgent-language escalation and duplicate suppression before widening coverage.

Agree the baseline, access boundaries, review owner, acceptance tests and stop conditions before activation. Measure net staff time after review and correction, not just machine output.

Three starting points, with clear deliverables.

Your AI. Your setup.

In the cloud or in your office.

You own the accounts and equipment. We help choose the practical setup for your work.

Cloud

No new computer needed

Easiest to get started and access from anywhere. Your workflows use your own cloud accounts. Needs reliable internet and provider services.

$0 equipment allowance

Office computer

A dedicated Mac mini or Dell PC

Useful when the workflow needs files or tools on your premises. You are responsible for power, internet and physical security. Cloud AI and phone services may still be needed.

+$1,500–$3,000 equipment allowance

Advanced local AI

A specialist AI computer

For a tested need to run selected AI models locally. Higher cost and more maintenance. A separately designed stack, not a local installation of Grok Bot.

+$8,000–$12,000 equipment allowance

Grok Bot is cloud-hosted. Connecting an office computer does not move Grok Bot onto that computer or make all data local. Any local-model workflow must be tested separately; phone services, integrations and some AI features may still require internet access. Equipment allowances are planning budgets, not hardware quotes. The final proposal confirms the machine, backup power, configuration, data flow and any additional installation work. Taxes, electricity and replacement equipment are extra.

Adjust the estimate

Examples, not guaranteed savings. Payback assumes you can put the returned time to useful work at the stated hourly value. Payroll may stay the same. Each package explains the assumptions below.

Low / Focused

A focused start

$5,000–$7,000
Estimated one-time implementation

1 defined workflow. One location or team; 1–2 supported integrations.

  • Service-request intake and dispatcher handoff

Includes testing, team training, runbook, customer-owned deployment and 30-day defect correction. Vendor costs and ongoing support are separate.

Medium / Connected

A coordinated team

$10,000–$15,000
Estimated one-time implementation

3 defined workflows. One location or team; up to 3 supported integrations.

  • Service-request intake and dispatcher handoff
  • Approved estimate follow-up
  • Maintenance coordination

Includes testing, team training, runbook, customer-owned deployment and 30-day defect correction. Vendor costs and ongoing support are separate.

High / Advanced

A broader operation

$20,000–$28,000
Estimated one-time implementation

5 defined workflows for one agreed team or location. Up to 4 supported integrations, with richer exception handling and reporting.

  • Service-request intake and dispatcher handoff
  • Approved estimate follow-up
  • Maintenance coordination
  • Job-preparation packets
  • Owner exception reporting

Includes testing, team training, runbook, customer-owned deployment and 30-day defect correction. Vendor costs and ongoing support are separate.

Sector-specific scope: One location and supported field-service platform. Approved service area, hours and equipment categories. Actual jobs drive reporting; no predicted booked revenue or autonomous diagnosis.

Planning estimates, not binding quotes. Ranges assume permitted access, usable data, supported integrations and a named reviewer. The final proposal confirms deliverables, acceptance tests, handover and responsibilities.

Vendor licenses, model/voice usage, taxes and ongoing care are additional. Custom APIs, major data cleanup, regulated advice, autonomous financial actions and 24/7 response are not included unless expressly scoped. Lower software subscription prices are not equivalent to implementation services.

After implementation

Your team runs it.
Or we help.

Managed care is optional. Choose who owns monitoring, updates and support after handover.

No managed care

$0 / month to us

Your team operates the delivered workflows after handover. No ongoing monitoring, maintenance or support included. Vendor subscriptions and usage remain your responsibility.

Care

$499 / month

Up to 2 support hours for agreed maintenance and troubleshooting. Additional work requires approval. Vendor costs are separate.

Managed optimization

$999 / month

Up to 4 hours for agreed maintenance, monitoring review and improvements. No unlimited changes or 24/7 service. Vendor costs are separate.
