Text2Book vs. AI voice agents
AI voice agents answer the phone and talk to your caller. Text2Book texts them instead. For home-service jobs, text wins — here's why.
Both approaches try to catch the lead you can't answer. An AI voice agent picks up and holds a spoken conversation; Text2Book sends a text and lets the caller reply on their own time. For busy homeowners calling from noisy places, and for owners who want a clean written record, texting is the better fit.

FAQ
Common questions
For callers who want to talk to a person, Text2Book still greets them by voice and hands anyone who asks straight to you. Most people would rather reply to a text than talk to a bot.
Text removes the friction of staying on a call with a bot, and gives you a clean written request to approve — which tends to convert better for home-service work.
