An AI receptionist for a general contracting business answers every incoming call, qualifies the project by scope and budget, and books a consultation directly into your calendar. Mihron AI's Maya is an AI voice receptionist that answers business calls 24/7, books appointments, and captures leads in 20+ languages.
Maya asks about the type of renovation, rough budget range, and timeline, so you know a lead's potential value before you ever call back.
Stay focused on the current job while Maya answers new project inquiries, 24/7, without interrupting your day.
Qualified leads get booked straight into your calendar for an on-site or phone consultation — no back-and-forth scheduling.
Large-budget or urgent projects can be flagged for your immediate attention, while smaller jobs fill standard consultation slots.
Maya auto-detects English or Canadian French per caller, supporting bilingual contracting businesses in Quebec.
Books directly into Google Calendar, Outlook, or Cal.com, and connects to estimating and project-management tools via API and webhooks.
Project-size and budget qualification means Maya asks a short set of questions to understand what a caller actually wants built, roughly what they expect to spend, and how soon, before booking the right kind of consultation — the capability that matters most for a general contractor fielding a mix of small jobs and major renovations.
Maya asks what the caller wants to renovate or build, and captures the basic scope in their own words.
Maya asks a rough budget range and desired start date, based on the qualifying questions you've set for your business.
Maya books a consultation slot directly into your calendar and flags high-value or urgent leads for your priority attention.
An AI receptionist answers every call and books the appointment in the same conversation; a traditional answering service takes a message for a callback; voicemail captures nothing until someone checks it. Here's an honest, feature-by-feature comparison for a general contracting business.
