Availability

Every call gets answered, even on site

The AI phone agent answers every call at once, even when you are up on a roof or laying a cable. It records the job and answers questions from your documents, for example about your service area or opening hours. Whatever it cannot settle, it records with a callback number.

Appointment booking

On-site visits straight into the calendar

During the call the agent checks the free times in your calendar and books the appointment at once, whether maintenance, measuring or a repair. The customer gets a confirmation by email and can later reschedule or cancel the appointment by phone too.

Emergency

Emergency or routine visit, clearly recognisable as AI

No keypad menu, no hold queue. The agent asks what has happened and recognises from your rules whether it is an emergency: then it puts the call straight through to your on-call service, otherwise it books an appointment. At the start it says that it is an AI assistant, as the EU AI Act requires.

Outbound calls

Service due? The agent calls

Upload a list of customers who have agreed to a reminder about their annual service. The agent calls them at set times, reminds them about the service and books an appointment straight away if they want. If it only reaches voicemail, it leaves a message.

Routing

The job with the right team

Decide which trade belongs in which calendar and which calls are put straight through. The agent recognises during the call whether it is about heating, electrics or a solar system, books with the team responsible and puts urgent cases through at once.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which calls does the AI phone agent handle for a trade business?

It takes new jobs, books on-site visits, reschedules or cancels existing appointments and answers questions from your documents, for example about your service area or opening hours. It puts emergencies through to your on-call service and records everything else with a callback number.

What does an AI phone agent for tradespeople cost?

The AI phone agent runs on its own minute packs. You only pay for AI minutes, from as low as €0.11 per minute, with packs from €49 per month for 250 minutes with annual billing.

Does the agent recognise an emergency?

It recognises one by the rules you set. You describe what counts as urgent, for example a burst pipe, a heating breakdown in winter or customers locked out, and give the number of your on-call service. It then puts such calls straight through and books everything else as an appointment.

Does the caller know they are talking to an AI?

Yes. The default greeting says at the start of every call that the caller is talking to an AI assistant, as the EU AI Act has required since August 2026. You can change the wording of the greeting, but you keep the reference to AI.

Is the AI phone agent GDPR compliant?

Yes. Zeeg's agent is GDPR and EU AI Act compliant. Conversation data is stored in the EU, and calls run through the Irish region of our telephony provider. Zeeg stores appointments and contacts encrypted on servers in Europe, with a data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR. If you switch off transcript storage, the voice service stores nothing from the call.

Can I keep my existing business number?

Yes. You forward your number to the agent or connect it via SIP trunk. Or you take a new local number directly in Zeeg.

Does Zeeg work with my trade software?

Zeeg handles calls and appointment booking, and your trade software stays as it is. Zeeg has no direct connection to it. You can pass every call, with its summary and the details captured, to your systems by webhook.

How does Zeeg differ from Fonio and smao?

Zeeg comes with its own appointment booking: customers book online on the same scheduling pages the AI phone agent books into on the phone, and round robin and routing forms spread both across the team. Fonio and smao book into connected calendars or booking tools. Fonio speaks more languages, over 60 instead of 23, and smao charges no base fee, at €0.35 per minute. As of October 2026.
