Hey Telo provides a voice AI solution for home services companies to handle calls 24/7, document interactions, and integrate data into craft software. It targets Haustechnikbetriebe (home-technical trades) and positions itself as a personal call assistant for scheduling and data capture.

The product acts as a telephone AI that answers calls, collects structured information (name, problem, invoice recipient, callback number), documents it into the user’s system, and can route complex matters to the appropriate team. It supports call forwarding for emergencies, can operate 24/7 via call redirection, and offers integration with craft software. Pricing shows tiered plans per number of employees with defined AI tasks and call minutes, plus add-on minutes. The product emphasizes easy activation via call forwarding and providing ready-to-use information for dispatching.

Who it’s for: Haustechnikbetriebe / home services technicians (crafts & heating/air conditioning, etc.) seeking to automate phone handling and improve 24/7 availability.
