New Braunfels AI, answered
The calls a New Braunfels trade never hears
A call that rings out at 6 p.m. can be a job someone else books. The caller has 83 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors in Comal County to choose from, and the next one on the list may pick up. The job Lithium Marketing sets for a managed AI receptionist is this: answer every call, ask the questions you set, book the job or send the next step by text, and transfer the calls you want a person to take. It costs $179 a month with no contract.
The receptionist is not a phone tree. It holds your services, your service area and your hours, and it follows the rules you set: book the small jobs, transfer the emergencies, text the callers who need a callback. You hear every call afterward in the transcripts.

The New Braunfels market
Who is on the other end of the phone
65.3% of New Braunfels’ occupied homes are owner-occupied. When an owner has a burst pipe or a dead water heater, the call is about an answer, not a voicemail. The receptionist can ask early whether the caller owns the property, which decides who approves the work and where the call should go.
The median New Braunfels home dates to 2006, which puts the work newer houses still need (fences, gutters, patios, water heaters) on the same phone line as emergency repairs. The receptionist asks what the job is, books the estimate slot and sends the caller the details.

Comal County trades
Which New Braunfels trades live on the phone
If a roof leak comes in at night, it needs an answer in minutes; a landscaping quote can wait until morning. Comal County has 23 roofing contractors and 70 landscaping services, and the two trades should not share one call script. The receptionist follows the rules you write for each kind of caller.
Comal County has seven septic tank services and eight glass and glazing contractors, and a business that size may have no one at a desk to catch a missed call. Missing a call there costs more than missing one at a company with a receptionist.

Real service lines
What the AI does on a working service line
Smart Doors LLC took a new website from Lithium first and added the AI receptionist to its phones afterward. The plumbing project on the card is different: a custom AI phone system that sorts urgent calls, texts the on-call tech and books the rest.

FAQ
What New Braunfels owners ask before the phone goes AI
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
What happens if someone asks for a person?
The call goes to your team. You set which requests count: emergencies, existing customers, or anyone who asks. The receptionist handles everything else, from answering and qualifying to booking the job or sending the next step by text.
How does $179 a month compare with a hire?
A human receptionist costs $3,500 or more a month before training, and the AI receptionist is $179 with no contract and no setup fee. One difference is hours: a full-time hire works a shift, and this answers at two in the morning. We do not pretend it replaces a good receptionist.
How soon can it answer real calls?
The line can be live a few days after we have your hours, services and booking calendar. We build the answers from your rules, and you sign off on the line before it takes a customer call.
Who handles a burst pipe at two in the morning?
Your rules run the call, whatever the hour. The receptionist gets the details, judges urgency from your questions, then takes the path you set: the on-call tech, the first open slot or a text with the details. The plumbing project above is built that way.
What else can Lithium take off my desk?
That is a separate project from the receptionist. It can cover the lead entered into the CRM, the review request after a job, a quote built from the job details or a note to the crew. Custom builds are quoted after a free call about your workflow and usually take one to two weeks; the $179 receptionist does not include them.
