Prices, hours, how long each service takes. It answers from what you've told it, and takes a message rather than guessing.
Answers after you've closed
You're open maybe 50 hours a week. There are 168. A call at nine on a Sunday either becomes a booking or becomes somebody else's.

Questions from handyman businesses
Every job is different. How does it book something it can't size?
By booking your time rather than the task. Handyman work sells in hourly or half-day blocks, so it books the block and writes down what the job is. You arrive knowing what you are walking into.
Can it tell someone what I charge?
It quotes your rates as you wrote them: hourly, minimum callout, whatever you use. Asked what a specific job costs, it says you will confirm on site.
I'm on my own. Won't callers know it isn't me?
It tells them at the start of every call: they are speaking with an assistant, and the call is recorded. That beats a voicemail nobody returns.
