Emergency triage
Tells apart a genuine emergency like no heating from a repair that can wait for a scheduled visit.
The AI receptionist that grew into the whole job.
Reception built for a housing association.
A tenant with no heating in the middle of winter and a young baby in the house. Someone chasing a repair reference logged weeks ago that's gone quiet. A resident reporting damp that's been raised before and might now be a disrepair matter.
What it sounds like on the phone.
We've had no heating since yesterday and it's freezing, we've got a baby.
That's a priority; let me confirm your address and get this straight through as an emergency repair today.
I reported damp in the bathroom weeks ago, ref 33291, nothing's happened.
Let me pull that reference up and get your housing officer to call you back with an update.
What we book.
The kinds of call a housing repairs line usually turns out to be:
- Repair report intake (10 min)
- Emergency repair logging (5 min)
- Repair status check (5 min)
- Tenancy query (15 min)
What it actually does for this trade.
Vulnerability flagging
Notices when a household is at particular risk and marks the call for priority handling.
Repair status handled
Finds an existing reference and gets a proper update from the team holding it.
Tenancy-aware intake
Confirms the exact tenancy before discussing any detail about it.
Frequently asked questions.
How quickly will an emergency repair be fixed?
It logs the repair against the published emergency category, but the exact visit time is confirmed by the contractor; it doesn't promise a time beyond that category.
What if I've already reported this and nothing's happened?
It finds the existing reference and gets the team holding it to call back with a proper update, rather than opening a duplicate report.
Will it treat my situation as urgent if someone in my home is vulnerable?
Yes, it asks about vulnerability specifically, and a household at particular risk is flagged for priority handling under the association's policy.
