The AI receptionist for Chicago HVAC & plumbing contractors.
Tenure answers your phone and texts 24/7, books jobs on your calendar, sends your tech the address, and follows up on every quote. When a homeowner needs a real person, like a furnace out in January, a human dispatch specialist picks up. Built for owner-operated shops in Chicago and the Northwest Suburbs.

When you're on a job, who answers the phone?
Most small shops run the phones from the owner's cell. That works until you're in a crawlspace, on a roof, or asleep.
Calls come in when you can't pick up.
Techs in the field, office closed at 5, weekends, 2am emergencies. A homeowner with no heat calls the next company on the list.
Quotes go cold.
You did the estimate visit. Then nobody called back. Tenure follows up at 48 hours, 7 days, and 14 days, and books the job when they're ready.
Office help is hard to hire and harder to keep.
When a dispatcher leaves, what they knew about your techs and customers leaves too. Tenure keeps that knowledge and keeps working.
No new app. No chat window. Just work, everywhere you already are.
Tenure doesn't live behind a login. It emails, texts, calls, joins your Zooms, and sits in your Slack — just like a real employee. You never copy-paste context into a chat. Things happen where they actually happen.
AI-first. Humans on demand. One shared memory.
Our AI is trained on your business and handles 90%+ of the work. When judgment matters, a vetted human expert steps in — on the same task, with the same context. No handoff, no re-explaining.
