  • Genius Answering is a tool developed by Workiz, for Workiz. It’s fully integrated into your Workiz account, and therefore, has way more Workiz account-related functionality than any other tool will. We trained Genius Answering on tens of millions of service business calls and messages, making it the most specialized and accurate AI for field service businesses in the world.

  • No. Not at all!
    It takes less than 5 clicks to add Genius Answering to your call flows. No technical skills required.

  • Nope! Genius Answering is already trained based off of your Workiz account activity, the services you offer, and the customized settings page.
    There is nothing else you need to do.

  • You can have the AI follow any rules you want!
    For example, you can have it answer only after-hours calls, or any missed call.
    You can even get more granular; for example, asking it to only answer calls from certain ad sources.

  • Genius Answering consistently books thousands of dollars of new business for customers each month.
    On average, its conversion rate is higher than for human dispatchers thanks to the 24/7 coverage, and on-par with human dispatchers during business hours.
    Dedicated internal dispatchers can offer richer human interactions, but at a steep cost. If you want human-level performance without the extra payroll... that’s where Genius Answering shines.

  • Yes. You set with Genius Answering replies. For example, you can have it respond to emails only if your dispatch team didn’t reply within 10 minutes. Or only reply if it’s after hours. You have full control.

  • Yes! It can handle simultaneous calls.

  • They stay on and help you expand! Rather than wasting their time on tasks that a computer can do, your staff can help you with all sorts of marketing and growth related tasks. Genius Answering simply brings a new level of efficiency to your business.

  • We’ve done deep analysis on this, and the answer is yes. 87% of customers don’t mind speaking with computers as long as they get fast and effective communication. Our Live Transfer feature heps those last few customers that insist on speaking with a human get the help they need.
