TimkaMe

Hey folks — Tim here 👋 Quick backstory. A close friend of mine runs an HVAC business. Absolute beast at fixing ACs. Terrible at answering his phone. Not because he’s lazy — because he’s literally on a roof, under a unit, or driving between jobs. Result: he was losing 30–40% of inbound calls. Not exaggerating. We tried a few AI receptionists. They all did the same thing: • pick up the phone • take a message • dump it somewhere But that didn’t solve the real problem. The real problem was follow-up. People would call → book → then disappear. No confirmation calls. No reminders. No “hey, we’re on the way.” No review requests. No re-booking past customers. So I built TimkaMe. What it does differently: • Answers inbound calls like a human • Books appointments • Calls customers back to: • confirm appointments • remind them before the job • ask for reviews after • re-activate old clients who haven’t called in months We’ve been running it live for a few months now. His booking rate is up ~40% Fewer no-shows Zero mental load for him It’s not perfect. Some customers still want a real person sometimes — and that’s fine. But compared to voicemail? Night and day. I’d genuinely love feedback from the PH crowd: If you were using an AI phone system, what features would you actually want? What would make you trust it with your business calls? Happy to answer questions, take punches, or hear “this sucks and here’s why.”
