Want the exterior of a two-story house painted before we list it next month.
Hi Dan, it's Luis at True Color Painting. Thanks for the note about the exterior. What's the address, and do you have a color in mind yet?
Why it matters
You're up a ladder with a roller. The homeowner shopping three painters gives the walk-through to the first reply.
Customers shopping for a paint job call several pros. The first reply usually gets the walk-through.
For painters, the fast reply wins the job.
The customer who just called you is calling the next name on the list if you go quiet.

How it works
Set it up once, then just show up.
A lead comes in
A customer fills out your form, or calls your Local Lead Closer number and leaves a voicemail (Pro). We catch it the moment it happens.
You get the alert, reply ready
Your phone gets their name, number, and what they need, plus a reply already drafted in your words. If you leave email confirmations on, the customer also gets a short "we got your message" email from your business.
You reply Y. The text goes out.
Nothing texts your customer until you say so, with one exception you control: a missed call to your Local Lead Closer number gets one short text saying you'll call back (on for new numbers, off in Settings). Reply Y from the alert, or send it from the dashboard. Want it fully automatic? That is a Pro setting you turn on.
What you get
Everything works while you're on the job.
Replies in your voice
Every new lead gets a text drafted the way you talk. Send it with one tap, or turn on auto text-back (Pro) and it goes out on its own.
Missed calls become leads
Calls to your Local Lead Closer number ring your cell first. If you can't pick up, the caller gets one short text from your business right away saying you'll get back to them (on for new numbers, switchable in Settings), and their voicemail is transcribed into a lead with their number and what they said.
Instant phone alerts
Get pinged the moment a lead lands. Reply or call back in one tap, right from the text.
Smart lead scoring
Every lead gets scored, so you can see which jobs are hot (★ 9/10 emergencies) and chase the right ones first.
Who's behind this
Built and run by a real person, not a call center.
The founder answers support
Text or email and you get me, usually the same day. No ticket queue, no phone tree.
You approve every text
By default nothing texts a customer until you reply Y. The automatic options are off until you turn them on, and the customer confirmation email can be switched off in Settings.
No fake reviews here
We're new, so we won't invent praise. When customers say something good, it shows up here with their name on it.

Questions, answered
Questions painters ask us.
Painting estimates need a walk-through. What can a text do?
It gets you the walk-through. The draft asks for the address and photos and tells the customer you'll confirm a time to come by.
Does it work for commercial jobs too?
Yes. Any form submission or missed call gets the same alert and draft.
Is it legal to text customers back like this?
Yes, when it is done right, and that is how we built it. The text back is a reply to someone who just called or messaged your business about a job, not a marketing blast. They reached out first, so it is a direct response to their own inquiry. Every first message names your business and includes a one-tap STOP opt-out. This is general info, not legal advice.
Will my customers know they are texting with AI?
We never hide it. Replies go out in your own words and under your business name, and we do not pretend an automated message is a live person typing. Most of the time you are reviewing the draft and sending it yourself anyway.
Do I stay in control of what gets sent?
Always. By default you get the drafted reply and send it with one tap, so nothing texts a customer without you. The one exception is the missed-call text-back on your Local Lead Closer number: one short "we'll call you back" text, on for new numbers and switchable off in Settings. Two optional Pro settings can send on their own. Auto text-back sends the drafted reply the moment a lead lands. The backup reply sends one short holding text if you have not answered in 5, 10, or 15 minutes, then pings you to take over. Both are off until you turn them on.
