Your phone rings.
You're under a sink.
Pickup AI answers.
The AI receptionist for solo tradespeople. It answers every call in a warm human voice, captures leads from Angi, Thumbtack, SMS & email, books the job into your calendar, and gets you paid on site — while you stay on the tools.
Everything a receptionist does. None of the payroll.
Pickup AI runs the front office of your trade business end-to-end — so every lead is captured and every job gets booked.
Answers every call
A warm, human-sounding voice picks up when you can't — takes the job details, the address, and the caller's name, and never sounds like a robot.
Captures every lead
Calls, texts, and forwarded Angi / Thumbtack / Yelp / Gmail lead emails all land in one Inbox — parsed, scored, and ready to action.
Books into your real calendar
It only offers slots you can actually keep — respecting your working hours, blocked time, and away mode — then texts the customer to confirm.
Quotes with your numbers
Estimates each job from your hourly rate, typical job durations, and an emergency surcharge — so the price the customer hears matches your books.
Shows what it's earning you
A live dashboard: leads captured, your captured → confirmed → completed pipeline, completed revenue, and which sources actually pay.
You stay in control
Choose how much the AI does: book directly, propose a slot and wait for your yes, or just capture the lead. Quotes can be auto, draft, or off.
Tap once. Drive the optimized route. Get paid on the spot.
When the jobs are booked, "Run My Day" turns them into a single guided flow — the most efficient route, turn-by-turn navigation, and card payments taken at the door.

Frequently asked questions
What is Pickup AI?
Pickup AI is an AI receptionist built for solo tradespeople. It answers your business calls in a natural human voice, captures leads from calls, SMS, email, Angi and Thumbtack, books jobs into your real calendar, and lets you take card payment on site.
How is it different from a normal answering service?
A normal answering service just takes a message. Pickup AI actually books the job — it offers your real open time slots, schedules the appointment, and texts the customer a confirmation, then helps you get paid when the work is done.
Which trades is it for?
Solo plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, handymen, and general contractors — one-person businesses that lose work when they can't answer the phone on a job.
How much does Pickup AI cost?
Starter is $79/month and Pro is $149/month, each with a 7-day free trial. Pro adds Run My Day routing, on-site payments, and AI quoting.
How long does setup take?
About three minutes. You get a dedicated business number instantly, forward your calls to it, and the AI starts answering — it only picks up when you can't.
Do I get paid directly?
Yes. Card payments go straight to your own connected bank account via Stripe — Pickup AI never holds your money and takes no cut of the job.
