Real AI Phone Calls

Hear how Lacy handles real service business calls for San Francisco Ice.

Listen to real examples of Lacy answering calls, capturing details, recognizing customer needs, and moving each conversation toward the right next action.

Target pallet order

Target orders a pallet of ice from SF Ice. The AI Phone Agent naturally confirms the request and applies its trained knowledge of the pallet’s weight and quantity.

Walgreens ice order

Walgreens requests the minimum number of ice bags. The AI Phone Agent uses knowledge base logic to determine the correct quantity and handles the order naturally.

Southwest Airlines order

Southwest Airlines orders a pallet of ice and updates the delivery address. The AI Phone Agent reasons through both requests and completes the call in a natural, human-like way.

These are customer calls handled for San Francisco Ice Company. Target, Walgreens, and Southwest Airlines are callers in these examples, not presented as direct Lacy.ai customers or endorsements. Sensitive details may be redacted for privacy.

Choose the right path.

Your business rules guide the request toward dispatch, an appointment, a callback, or an escalation.

03

Pass the context forward.

The right team receives structured details and the configured next action, so the customer does not become another disconnected note.

Real-Time Call Routing

Route service calls based on intent, urgency, location, and business rules.

Not every call belongs in the same queue. A homeowner with no heat should not be handled like a routine maintenance request. A plumbing leak should not be routed like a remodeling estimate.

Lacy.ai helps service businesses route calls based on what the customer actually needs. Your AI Phone Agent can identify the service type, urgency level, customer status, location, appointment request, dispatch need, and next-step requirement.

01

Intent-based routing

Identify whether the caller needs emergency repair, appointment booking, customer support, estimate help, warranty support, or a callback.

02

Urgency-based escalation

Detect high-priority requests like no heat, no cooling, active leaks, roof damage, electrical hazards, and after-hours emergencies.

03

Location-based paths

Validate service areas, route requests by territory, and support location-specific call handling across teams, branches, and markets.

04

Business-rule logic

Follow your rules for dispatch, scheduling, escalation, callback requests, non-serviceable inquiries, and customer support.

AI Call Routing and Mid-Call Tools

Take live actions during active phone calls with real-time call routing.

Lacy.ai connects the live conversation to the next business action. Your AI Phone Agent can check availability, validate service area, identify urgency, route the caller, trigger a workflow, update a CRM field, or create a callback request while the call is still happening.

Built for service businesses that need every call to become the right next step, not another disconnected note.

Mid-Call Actions

Take live actions during active phone calls.

Your AI Phone Agent should do more than talk. Some calls need real-time action, such as checking availability, referencing CRM information, validating service area, creating a callback request, or triggering an urgent internal alert.

Connected to your routing rules

Check availability Route appointment paths in real time.

Validate service area Identify location fit before dispatch.

Create callback request Turn caller intent into a task.

Trigger urgent alert Notify the right team immediately.

Connected Systems

Connect calls to CRMs, calendars, dispatch boards, and business systems.

A service call should not live only inside a transcript. The outcome needs to reach your CRM, calendar, dispatcher, operations team, sales team, or workflow system.

Lacy.ai helps connect AI call routing to the business systems that keep service companies moving. The call becomes the starting point for automation.
