Does the assistant know my rates and working hours?

Yes. You enter your hourly rate, call-out charge and working hours per trade in the portal. The assistant only quotes those amounts and says honestly when it doesn't know something, rather than guessing.

Is Tenvado an AI receptionist?

Yes, the digital assistant works with AI. But it does more than answer the phone and take a message. It books the job in your calendar, taking the travel time between your addresses into account; you confirm the appointment. In the full package it also reads and sorts your business email, and if you're just starting out you get a website, domain name and business email address too. Approving appointments or changing your schedule can also simply be done by phone with your assistant. A standalone AI receptionist takes a message. Tenvado helps you run your business.

What does the assistant do when someone lists ten jobs?

It asks for a short list and notes the jobs in a row. Then it asks whether it's a few hours or something bigger, and books a survey visit. The list is in the description in your calendar.

What if the caller asks for a job that isn't yours?

If it's about a leak, electricity or a lock, the assistant honestly says that's work for another tradesperson. With work on gas it promises nothing: it notes it and you judge it.

A list of ten odd jobs?Your assistant takes notes.

Customers call with everything at once: a shelf, a door that sticks and a partition wall in the attic. Tenvado answers, notes the jobs in a row, asks how big it is and puts a survey visit in your calendar. You see the list in the portal.

CallerNo, that's it.
AssistantIs this a few hours of work together, or are you thinking of something bigger?

AssistantShould the handyman bring materials, or will you arrange that yourself?
CallerI'll get the shelves and the sealant myself.
AssistantWhen does it need to be finished?
CallerThere's no rush, preferably before the end of the month.

CallerYes. Sanne Mulder, Dorpsstraat 31 in Ruurlo.

Recognises emergencies

Real emergencies are rare with odd jobs. If it's about a leak, electricity or a broken lock, the assistant honestly says that's work for a plumber, electrician or locksmith.
The assistant doesn't promise work on gas, the meter cupboard or load-bearing walls. It notes it, and you judge it.
If it's urgent, the assistant can try to put the call through to you. If you don't answer, it takes a message.
