Construction and installation: AI enquiry assistant for rainwater system installers
An AI enquiry assistant for rainwater system installers that answers questions on filter maintenance and everyday use from your own instructions, and passes faults on to a person.
Which questions rainwater system installers keep getting.
Customers of rainwater system installers ask the same questions over and over: how often should the filter be cleaned, why does the toilet water smell, what should I do when the tank runs dry in summer, can I leave the outside tap open in winter. The office answers them by phone, sometimes several times a day, with information that is already in the manual. Among those questions are real faults: a pump that keeps running, a top-up that does not kick in, water flowing back. A general chatbot that makes things up about pumps or mains water is dangerous there, because wrong advice can cause damage or a contaminated supply.

From question to answer or colleague.
Choose and approve sources
The assistant works only with information you have approved: your own maintenance instructions, manuals for the pumps and filters you fit, and answers the office gives often. What is not in there, the assistant does not know. Each source is tagged with the system type it applies to, so advice about an above-ground butt never reaches an underground system.
Match the question to the system
When the customer signs in through the portal or gives their address, the assistant knows which system and filter were installed. A question about cleaning the filter then gets the answer for that filter. Without those details, the assistant asks first or makes clear that the answer is general.
Answer or hand over
If the assistant recognises a fault, a doubtful case or a question outside the approved sources, it gives no advice but creates a request for the office. That request contains the question, the customer's system and what the assistant has already asked. The customer is told that a member of staff will be in touch.
On your own information, with a person behind it.
Questions now come in by phone, email and the contact form. The assistant sits on the website or in the customer portal and uses documents you already have: maintenance instructions, manuals and frequently asked questions. Requests go to the office inbox or service system. You own the sources and decide which answers the assistant may give. Conversations are stored, so you can see which questions keep coming back.
General questions only or customer specific
An assistant on the public site can answer general questions about maintenance and use. In the customer portal it knows the customer's system and can be more specific. Start with general questions if you have no portal yet; the customer-specific version is more useful but needs system details to be recorded properly.
Customer tries a fix or immediate handover
A simple task such as taking out the filter and rinsing it, customers can do themselves with clear instructions. Anything involving the pump, electrics or the mains top-up is better handed over straight away. Decide per topic which way it goes, so the assistant never shifts the boundary on its own.
Quote verbatim or explain in plain words
Quoting the manual word for word is safe but sometimes unreadable. The assistant may explain an instruction more simply as long as the content stays the same and the source is shown. For topics where precision matters, such as the order of steps when bleeding a pump, you can require the text to be quoted exactly.

What the AI assistant may answer.
Questions about filter maintenance, use in winter and an empty tank are answered by the assistant with your own instructions as its only source; anything else becomes a request for the office. Before going live, we ask an ordinary question about cleaning a filter together, and a question about a pump that keeps running, which it should hand over to a colleague. Answers that take the customer's own system into account are switched on later through the client portal.

Explore pricing and optionsCan the assistant fix a fault remotely?
No. It recognises that it is a fault and creates a request with the details needed. It can mention a safe first step that is in your instructions, such as checking the plug, but it makes no diagnosis. The assessment stays with a fitter.
What happens when a customer asks something not covered anywhere?
The assistant says it does not know and passes the question to the office. The question also lands on a list of unanswered queries. If it keeps coming up, you can add an approved answer to the sources, so the assistant can answer it next time.
Can we see what the assistant has answered?
Yes. Every conversation is stored with the question, the answer and the source it was based on. The office can read conversations back, flag wrong or unclear answers and adjust the source. When a request is handed over, the full conversation is attached.
Does the assistant give advice about drinking water and hygiene?
Only if you have included an approved text for it, and then using that text. Questions about separating rainwater from mains water or about health are passed to a member of staff by default. On these topics a careful, personal answer beats a quick general one.
