Book the job while the whole crew is out on one.
Brightline Home Services uses an Athira avatar on its website to answer questions about services, service area and pricing, and book the visit — while every technician is on a job site.

What home service businesses lose without it
- The website and phone go unanswered while every technician is out on a job
- Homeowners want a price range before they’ll book an estimate
- Visitors outside the service area book visits that later have to be cancelled
- Urgent problems — a leak, no heat — come in after hours and go to whoever answers first
How it works
Homeowner describes the problem
Voice-first, from any page on the website, day or night.
Avatar checks the service and the area
Matches the problem to a published service and the address to the published service area.
It gives the published price range
The diagnostic fee and typical price ranges, stated directly. The firm price comes from the technician.
It books the visit
Into the scheduling calendar, and the office is notified by email.
The questions visitors actually ask
- Do you service my area?From the published service-area zip codes
- How much does a visit cost?From the published diagnostic fee
- Roughly what does a water heater replacement cost?From the published price ranges
- Can someone come today?From the live scheduling calendar
- Are you licensed and insured?From the company’s license and insurance details
- What’s wrong with my furnace?Not answered — it books a technician visit
Service area
Pricing, answered directly
Brightline publishes a flat $89 diagnostic visit, credited toward the repair, and typical price ranges for common jobs. The avatar quotes those directly and is clear that the final price comes from the technician on site.
A sample conversation
Illustrative example — not a real visitor conversation.
What it won’t do
- It doesn’t diagnose problems or give firm quotes — that comes from the technician on site.
- It isn’t an emergency line. The business decides what it tells visitors about urgent safety issues, and it repeats exactly that.
- It answers only from what the business has published and approved; anything else becomes a booked visit or a message to the office.
- It works in English today.
Frequently asked
Can it check whether a visitor is in our service area?
Yes — against the towns or zip codes you publish. Outside the area, it says so instead of booking a visit you’d have to cancel.
Does it give firm quotes?
No. It quotes the diagnostic fee and the price ranges you publish, and the technician gives the firm price on site.
What happens to requests that come in after hours?
It books the earliest open slot and emails the office. If nothing is open, it takes the visitor’s details so the team can call back first thing.
