After the storm, the roofer’s phone no longer goes to voicemail.
The day after a gale, calls about blown-off tiles come one after another while you are on a roof in a harness. The Alyas agent takes every request, notes the damage described and the address, and lets you come down at your own pace.
What the agent does for you
Handle the surge of calls after a storm or hailstorm, without losing a single one.
Note the damage described by the caller: slipped tiles, torn-off flashing, a damp stain on the ceiling.
Capture the address, type of roof and access conditions to prepare your visit.
Schedule roof inspection visits through your connected calendar, outside crisis periods.

Frequently asked questions
After a storm, will customers accept an AI taking their call?
They are told from the outset: the agent introduces itself as an AI and mentions the recording. Those who want to speak to you ask, and the call is transferred to the configured number, or their request is noted so you can call back once you are down from the roof. See also our guide to what the GDPR and the AI Act require.
Can the agent promise emergency tarpaulin cover to a customer whose roof is leaking?
It promises no job and no timeframe that you have not set. If you offer temporary weatherproofing, describe it in its information: it will be able to talk about it and note the request for you to confirm.
Call volume explodes after every storm: which plan should I choose?
Each monthly plan comes with its own call minutes, starting from the lightest, and the Pricing page compares the tiers. You can also start with a 10-day free trial, with no card required, to see what a stormy period amounts to.
No call or message left unanswered.
