Why Contractors Choose AI

You're on a roof, under a sink, or elbow-deep in a renovation - and leads are trying to reach you. Every missed inquiry is a potential $5,000+ job going to your competitor.

Hawil AI handles inbound web calls professionally - customers call via your shareable link, Sana captures job details, and schedules meetings via Calendly while you focus on the work that pays.

Never miss a lead: Share your web call link everywhere - homeowners click to call and Sana answers 24/7.

Qualify jobs before quoting: Know the job scope, timeline, and budget before you drive across town.

Reduce tire-kickers: Sana identifies serious prospects vs. price shoppers.

Professional image: Even one-person operations sound like established businesses.

Sana Pulse CRM: Job leads automatically populate your Sana Pulse CRM - never lose a quote request, all captured with conversation history.

Easy Setup with Sana

Get your AI assistant live in 10 minutes - no tech skills required.

Step 1: Describe your contracting business. What services do you offer? What areas do you serve? What's your typical job size?

Step 2: Add your service details. Include pricing ranges (if you share them), typical timelines, and your process for estimates.

Step 3: Connect Calendly. Sana will check your availability and offer to schedule a meeting - you define the event types in Calendly (site visits, estimates, consultations, etc.).

Step 4: Go live! Share your call link on Google Business Profile, Yelp, yard signs, and truck wraps.

Pro tip: Include details about your specialties, certifications, and what makes you different from other contractors.

Share Your AI Assistant Everywhere

Put your AI assistant on every marketing touchpoint. Many homeowners prefer texting over calling - the chatbot is perfect for quick quote requests and is more cost-effective.

Website chatbot (recommended): Embed the chat widget on your website. Homeowners can describe their job and request quotes without picking up the phone.

Google Business Profile: Add your chat or call link. 'Click to get a quote instantly.'

Truck wraps & yard signs: QR codes let homeowners chat or call when they see your work in the neighborhood.

Yelp and Angi profiles: Include your chat link in your business description.

Door hangers: After completing a job, leave hangers for neighbors with your chat link for easy quote requests.

Automate Your Workflow with Zapier

Connect Hawil AI to your job management tools and streamline your entire lead-to-invoice process.

New lead to Jobber/Housecall Pro: Qualified leads automatically create new opportunities in your field service software.

Appointment scheduled to Google Calendar: When Sana books a meeting, it appears on your calendar with job details.

Hot lead to SMS: Get instant text notifications for urgent jobs (water leak, AC out, etc.).

Feedback to Google Sheets: Track customer satisfaction scores and testimonials.

Invoice reminder emails: Trigger friendly payment reminder emails with your billing link for questions.

Smart Agent: Scheduling Made Simple

Smart Agent connects Sana to your Calendly so she can schedule meetings without back-and-forth. You define event types in Calendly (site visits, estimates, consultations).

Real-time availability: 'When can you come out?' Sana checks your Calendly and offers actual open slots for your defined event types.

Direct booking: Qualified leads schedule directly during the call - no phone tag required.

Buffer time: Set travel time between appointments in Calendly so Sana doesn't double-book you.

Urgent job handling: Emergency calls get flagged for immediate attention.

Save 5+ hours weekly: Stop playing calendar tetris. Sana handles all the scheduling.
