An AI receptionist for tradesmen that works in messages, not just calls

Most AI receptionists answer the phone. Vanly answers the messages your customers actually send, on the app they already use, and hands you a job that is ready to quote.

Get started

It catches every enquiry, not just the calls you miss

Checkatrade, Bark, MyBuilder and email, all in one chat

Your leads come from everywhere, and the good ones go cold while you are up a ladder. Vanly watches the lot, Checkatrade, Bark, MyBuilder and your email, and brings every enquiry into your WhatsApp, usually within a minute. For a direct email there is a reply already drafted; for a platform lead you get the details, ready to act on. Nothing slips because you were on the tools.

It asks the right questions, like a receptionist would

It never quotes a price for you

Vanly knows your trade, so it asks what matters: where, what, how big, when. It gathers what you need to price the job, so the lead reaches you ready to quote, not as three words and a phone number. It will never put a price to a customer, that is always your call.

It replies in seconds, and you choose how much it sends

By default Vanly replies to new enquiries within about a minute and qualifies the job, so a lead never goes cold while you are on the tools. Would you rather read every message first? You can switch to approving each reply in your settings. Either way, it never puts a price, an invoice or a booking to a customer without your yes.

What it will not do

Straight talk, because you have a good nose for AI that overpromises:

  • It will not quote a price without you.
  • It will not send an invoice without you.
  • It will not book a job without you.
  • It will not pretend to be a person. It is your assistant, working for you.

Part of the whole office job

Once the lead is qualified, Vanly can turn your voice note into a quote and send the invoice from your WhatsApp when the job is done. See how it all fits together, or read what an AI receptionist actually does for a tradesman.
