The Reality for Growing Plumbing Businesses

You’re in the middle of a job. Your phone rings. Another lead but you can’t take the call.

By the time you wrap up and return the message, they’ve already booked someone else. This happens daily for plumbers working in the field, especially solo operators or small teams.

The good news? AI automation is now making it possible to book jobs automatically without pausing your work.


What Is an AI Support Agent?

An AI Support Agent is a digital assistant that handles your customer communication across voice, text, email, and web chat.

With Vix’s no-code platform, it takes just hours to launch a system that answers every inquiry for you—instantly and professionally.


What AI Can Do for You While You’re Working

Here’s what your AI agent can handle while you’re under a sink or troubleshooting a boiler:

1. AI Agent for Voice

  • Answers incoming calls with a friendly greeting

  • Routes urgent jobs or collects details for later follow-up

  • Offers booking links or appointment times

2. AI agent for SMS

  • Instantly replies to missed calls with a personalized text

  • Gathers job info: location, problem, preferred time

  • Confirms appointments automatically

3. AI agent for email

  • Sends follow-ups to web form submissions or quote requests

  • Replies to customer questions using saved responses

  • Automates estimate delivery and follow-through

4. AI chatbot support

  • Engages website visitors in real time

  • Qualifies new leads and books them into your calendar

  • Answers FAQs 24/7 without human input
