# The AI receptionist for computer repair shops that handles intake for you

An AI receptionist for computer repair shops answers every call and runs repair intake: laptop or desktop, make and model, the symptoms, whether it boots, and whether data needs saving. It books drop-offs or on-site visits and answers hours and pricing questions from your notes. For repair status, it takes the ticket details and texts your team to call back.

## Why computer repair shops miss calls

- **Every call starts with twenty questions:** Is it a Mac or a PC? Does it power on? Any beeping? Did it get wet? Your tech has to ask all of it before saying anything useful, and it happens mid-reinstall with a drive half imaged.
- **Panicked data loss calls:** A business owner whose laptop won’t boot, or a student with a thesis on a dead drive, needs someone to pick up now. Voicemail makes a stressful moment worse and sends them searching elsewhere.
- **Status calls interrupt diagnostics:** Customers call to ask if the parts arrived or the virus cleanup is finished. Each one pulls a tech away from a job that needs focus, for news that often hasn’t changed.

## How does an AI receptionist help computer repair shops?

It does the intake your techs would otherwise do on the phone. On each call it gathers the device type, make and model, symptoms, what happened before the problem, and whether there is data the customer can’t lose. Then it books a drop-off or on-site visit and texts you the summary. Your tech starts each job already knowing the story, and the phone stops breaking their concentration during diagnostics.

## Can the AI give repair status on a computer?

It can’t see your ticketing system, so it doesn’t guess. It takes the customer’s name, ticket number, device and a callback number, then texts or emails your team right away. You call back with the real status. It can also share general timelines from your notes, such as how long diagnostics usually take, so callers know what to expect.

## Can it book on-site service calls for businesses?

Yes. It can ask for the business name, address, number of machines and the problem, then book a visit in Google Calendar or Microsoft 365 using the windows you set. For an office that is down and losing work, it marks the call urgent and can transfer it straight to your phone.

## Is after-hours answering worth it for computer repair?

Computers fail the night before a deadline. After-hours answering calms the caller, takes the full intake and books the first opening. You can set urgent calls, like a small office server down, to transfer to your on-call phone, and send everything else to a morning summary.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can the AI troubleshoot computer problems over the phone?

No. It gathers symptoms and books the repair, but it doesn’t walk callers through fixes. That keeps customers from making a problem worse, like a failing drive, before your tech sees it.

### Can it tell customers if their repair is finished?

No. It doesn’t connect to your ticket system. It takes the ticket details and a callback number, then texts your team so someone can check and call back.

### Can it flag data recovery jobs as urgent?

Yes. You can tell it to ask about important data on every call and mark those jobs as priority in the summary, or transfer them to your phone during business hours.

### Does it work for on-site business clients?

Yes. It can capture the business name, address and number of machines, and book visits. The Pro plan also supports multiple numbers if you run a separate business support line.

### Will it say it’s an AI?

It identifies as a virtual assistant, either at the start of the call or when asked, depending on your setting. It never pretends to be a person.
