Direct answer

How should an AI receptionist handle an HVAC no-cooling call?

It should identify the service need, collect the address, equipment and symptom details, screen for approved urgency factors, request or schedule service, and notify the correct team member. It should not diagnose the system or invent an arrival time.

Caller language

What the customer may actually say

  • “My AC stopped working”
  • “The house is getting hot”
  • “Can someone come today?”
