voice-receptionist.Halden Plumbing and Heating

The phone rings at half past eight, and nobody is at the desk.

This is a simulated AI receptionist for a plumbing and heating company. Take the call yourself: choose what the caller says and watch what the agent writes down, what it refuses to guess, and when it decides the call needs a human.

SimulationNothing here calls a phone network or a language model, and no call is placed. The scripted answers are fixed, which is the point: they show the behaviour, the guardrails and the escalation rules. The production build runs the same script against a live speech pipeline, and each outcome says what it would do differently.

The call

The line is quietAnswer the call to hear the agent open, then choose your lines as the caller.

What the demo is showing

The behaviour

  • Opens with the business name and the line, so the caller knows who answered.
  • Confirms the address before offering a slot, and updates it when the caller has moved.
  • Records each field as it is said, and replaces rather than duplicates.
  • Answers in under a second, which is the difference between a caller waiting and a caller hanging up.

The guardrails

  • It will not price a bathroom refit on the phone, and it says why rather than guessing.
  • It asks about injuries and water near electrics before it dispatches, because that changes who can attend.
  • An electrical risk escalates to the engineer and the duty manager together.
  • It stays on the line while the caller looks for the stopcock, instead of hanging up.
