Quick Answer
This FAQ tree is a fictional local-only planning asset for the AI Receptionist venture lane.
It shows how broad home-services inquiries could be sorted for human review without collecting leads, answering calls, or touching CRM.
This FAQ tree is Option B from the AI Receptionist decision packet. It gives Lola, Matt, and Aibert a clearer way to evaluate whether the mock receptionist concept feels useful for broad home-services categories before any phone or voice-platform work exists.
Intake branches
The mock receptionist would first sort a fictional caller into one of four broad buckets:
- estimate request;
- repair or service request;
- scheduling or rescheduling question;
- general business question.
The goal is classification only. The tree does not promise availability, confirm a job, book a visit, collect a payment, or quote a price.
Branch 1: Estimate request
Mock prompt:
“Are you looking for a general estimate, or do you already know the exact service you need?”
Safe capture:
- broad service category;
- general timing preference;
- general location area;
- whether photos or measurements may be useful later.
Human review required before:
- price;
- availability;
- service-area confirmation;
- appointment scheduling;
- next-step commitment.
Branch 2: Repair or service request
Mock prompt:
“Is this an urgent issue, or can it wait for normal business hours?”
Safe capture:
- urgency level;
- broad problem type;
- whether the issue affects safety or basic use;
- preferred callback window.
Human review required before:
- emergency response promises;
- diagnosis;
- repair estimate;
- technician dispatch;
- warranty or guarantee language.
Branch 3: Scheduling question
Mock prompt:
“Are you trying to schedule a new visit, change an existing visit, or ask a timing question?”
Safe capture:
- scheduling intent;
- preferred day or time window;
- whether a human should call back.
Human review required before:
- confirming appointments;
- changing appointments;
- sending reminders;
- writing to a calendar;
- notifying a technician or customer.
Branch 4: General business question
Mock prompt:
“Is your question about services offered, service area, hours, preparation, or something else?”
Safe capture:
- question topic;
- general follow-up need;
- whether the caller needs a human answer.
Human review required before:
- final service-area claims;
- business-hour guarantees;
- license, insurance, or credential claims;
- pricing;
- policy promises.
Human handoff checks
Every branch should produce a human-review summary like:
“Fictional caller asks about a non-urgent estimate for a broad home-service category in Exampletown. Human review is required before price, availability, service area, scheduling, or next-step commitment.”
Reviewer questions:
- Is the caller intent clear?
- Is urgency separated from scheduling?
- Does the summary avoid promises?
- Does the tree feel commercially useful without overclaiming?
- Which niche should get the first real review: HVAC, plumbing, cleaning, roofing, or another broad home-services category?
Use the AI Receptionist Niche Selection Scorecard to compare that first review focus without touching real businesses or prospects.
