Why an AI receptionist fits Ottawa trades
Ottawa's trades remember specific dates. The ice storm of January 1998 and the derecho of May 2022 each left large parts of the region without power for days, and electricians, tree crews and generator installers were swamped.
Ordinary winters are demanding too. Ottawa is one of the colder national capitals in the world, and frozen pipes and furnace failures are routine January work. An answering service that only takes messages leaves those callers waiting until morning.

An Ottawa power-outage call after a windstorm
Sorting urgent from routine is the whole job on a storm night. A homeowner in Nepean calls an electrician because a tree limb has pulled the service mast off the house. The AI receptionist asks whether the line is down or sparking, and takes the address.
Because the shop listed a damaged service mast as urgent, Pro places a phone call to the on-call electrician. A caller who only wants a quote for a generator hookup is booked for later in the week instead.
