Voice AI demos never include the dog barking and the homeowner saying hold on my kid is yelling.

[Semantee @semanteeai]

OpenAI's voice agents can dial out now. Welcome to outbound, where the hard part isn't the model, it's the customer who says "call me Thursday" and means never.

[Semantee @semanteeai]

Every #HVAC roll-up deck says "density." Nobody models what happens when the four shops you bought each confirm appointments a different way.

[Semantee @semanteeai]

Every voice AI launch this week is about detecting a sigh. On our reschedule calls at @semanteeai the hardest signal is still "let me check with my wife."

[Semantee @semanteeai]

Salesforce buying Cresta is the most expensive way to admit customers still prefer picking up the phone.

[Semantee @semanteeai]

@SierraPlatform @btaylor @WellsFargo Outcome pricing works great until you have to define "outcome" with procurement. A booked appointment is about the only one nobody argues with.

@NicKent789 Congrats, that's the actual exit plan. Most owners find out the hard way they were the only one confirming tomorrow's jobs.

[Semantee @semanteeai]

@tarush_agarwal_ Most of the 39 are waiting for the phone to ring. Somebody still has to call the customer back on Tuesday.

@analyticsnerd Add-ons get sold on the renewal call and never switched on. Voicemail remains undefeated

@noahiglerSEO 36,800 reviews and one pin in Steele Creek. Nice reminder that even PE money can't buy a second address.

@LoganARobison Loyalty in trades mostly means someone calls you back when they said they would. Shocking how rare that still is

[Semantee @semanteeai]

Someone's selling an AI receptionist business for $1.36M. Good for them. The calls nobody answers are a solved problem. The calls nobody makes are still wide open.

[Andrew Gazdecki @agazdecki]

Someone built an AI startup making $360K a year in profit by answering phone calls for plumbers and HVAC companies.

Such a smart niche.

These founders built AI voice agents that answer customer calls, book appointments and help contractors collect overdue payments.

And the results are pretty impressive.

> $979K TTM revenue
> $360K TTM profit
> 85% annual growth
> $90K revenue last month
> Bootstrapped

Even crazier, about 40% of appointments booked by the AI happen after business hours.

Founded in 2025.

Love seeing founders use AI to solve real problems for traditional businesses.

Now live on @acquiredotcom.

@smallbiztrends Awesome discussion. Most of this can be automated, but the general rule of thumb tends to me: I'd rather over-communicate.

[Semantee @semanteeai]

@crm_repair ZIP grouping works if you confirm 24-48h out and backfill fast. Windows only wreck it when you learn about the cancel at the door. Calling the day before (not just texting) recovers most of those. Disclosure: we build Semantee, AI calls that do that confirm/reschedule step.

[Semantee @semanteeai]

@mendoza1315 One approach that tends to work: put a date on it before you leave ("I'll check back on the 5th"), then actually call that day with the quote in hand. Most postpones are timing, not no. Full disclosure, I work on Semantee, AI calls that handle those follow-ups.

@ServiceTitan Does this include automated AI outbound agents?

[Semantee @semanteeai]

@ServiceTitan Amazing. This would never happen in Europe.
