AI Enquiry Triage & Follow-up for Service Businesses

An assistant that reads incoming enquiries from web forms, email and messaging, qualifies them, drafts replies and keeps a simple pipeline for owners who have no time for a CRM.

Status: ConceptComplexity: Low to Medium

Problem

Service businesses lose leads because enquiries arrive across channels and go unanswered for hours; full CRMs are too heavy for a five-person team.

Solution

Connect channels; the model classifies each enquiry (service, urgency, budget signals), drafts a reply in the business's tone, schedules follow-ups and shows a one-screen pipeline.

Target customer

Clinics, agencies, contractors, coaching centres and similar businesses with 2–20 staff.

Role of technology / AI

Classification and drafting via language models; deterministic scheduling and reminders; optional booking integration.

Business model

Flat monthly subscription per business with a usage cap; higher tiers for multiple locations.

MVP scope

Web form and email intake, AI classification and drafts requiring one-click approval, pipeline view, daily digest.

Technology stack

Web app, email and messaging APIs, foundation model API, PostgreSQL, background jobs.

Opportunity

Response time is directly linked to conversion for service businesses; value is visible within days.

Risks and challenges

Messaging platform policy changes; crowded CRM market; keeping drafts on-brand.
