OuiCall AIAn AI receptionist for locksmiths, even at 2 a.m.
When someone is locked out, they call the first locksmith they find and hang up if they reach voicemail. Sam answers every call, spots the emergencies and texts them to you on the spot.
* Plus tax. 500 call minutes included per month, then $0.15 per extra minute.
Why locksmiths lose clients on the phone
Locksmith work is done on your knees in front of a door, often with a client watching. Meanwhile, the phone keeps ringing:
- someone locked out in the middle of winter, in Québec City or Lévis;
- a shop that wants its cylinders changed after an employee leaves;
- a homeowner asking whether you install smart locks;
- night and weekend calls, when everyone is searching for “locksmith open now”.
Most people don't leave a message: they hang up and call someone else. Sam answers 24/7 the calls you forward to him, either only when you don't pick up, or all your calls while you're working.
What Sam does for you
He spots the lockout
Someone locked out is an emergency. Sam takes the address, name and number, without making the client repeat themselves.
He texts you the emergency
The message marked URGENT reaches your cell during the call. You call the client back, or Sam transfers the call to you if you allow it.
He schedules the rest
Rekeying, installation, smart locks: he offers a visit in your availability or takes a quote request.
He answers with your information only: hours, service area, service call fee if you've entered one. He never gives a price for work that isn't on your list, and always asks for the address to check that you go there, whether you cover Montréal, Laval or the Québec City area.
Sample call
Illustrative example: names, addresses and numbers are fictional.
How Sam handles your calls
Lockout or forced door. He asks for the address, name and number, one thing at a time. The message goes out by text during the call, and he tells the client the team has been notified. He only gives an arrival time if you've entered one in your information.
Scheduled work. Lock changes, installation, safes: he offers an open slot in your Google Calendar or the built-in calendar. The client gets a confirmation text, then a reminder the day before.
Questions. Hours, service area, payment methods: he answers with what you've written, otherwise he takes a message.
Everything is logged. Every call is transcribed and summarized in the app. Calls aren't recorded as audio: it's the text that's kept.
Pricing and free trial
No contract. It's a flat price: a night call costs nothing more than a daytime call.

Frequently asked questions
Does Sam answer at night and on weekends?
Yes, 24/7, as soon as your calls are forwarded to him. You can forward only unanswered calls, or all your calls while you're on a job.
Does he unlock the door remotely or give technical advice?
No. He writes down the emergency and texts it to you right away. The technical work stays yours.
Can he give an arrival time?
Only if you've entered one in your information, for example “usually under an hour in Montréal”. Otherwise, he simply says the message has gone out and someone will call back.
Will my clients know it's an AI?
Sam introduces himself with a first name and speaks naturally. If someone asks whether he's a person, he honestly says he's a virtual assistant.
