Outdoor spaces and grounds: AI enquiry assistant for tree care companies
An AI enquiry assistant for tree care companies that answers questions about preparing for the work using your approved explanations, and hands over to a specialist when in doubt.
Which questions tree care companies keep getting.
Customers of tree care companies often call with the same questions before the crew arrives. Should the car be off the drive, do garden chairs need moving, do I have to be home, what happens to the lawn under the chipper, can I keep the wood? Other questions are harder: whether a tree is dangerous, whether it may be felled or why fungi are growing on the trunk. Office staff answer the easy ones over and over and have to find a specialist for the hard ones. A wrong answer to a safety question can have serious consequences, so improvising is not an option.

Choose approved sources
The assistant only uses text you have released: explanations about preparation, methods, removal, payment and what is left after the work. A specialist reviews that text. Questions about the condition of a specific tree, permits or safety are deliberately left out of the sources.
Recognise and scope the question
The assistant works out whether a question is about preparation, about a current job or about the tree itself. For preparation it answers with the matching explanation. If it concerns the health or stability of a tree, it gives no opinion and explains that an arborist needs to look.
Answer or hand over
If the answer is in the sources, the assistant gives it with a link to the page. If not, or if the customer mentions something that points to danger such as a split or a leaning tree, it passes the question with the photo to the office and says honestly when someone will respond.
On your own information, with a person behind it.
The sources come from what already exists: the website, the standard confirmation customers get before a job and the answers office staff now give by phone. These are gathered once and approved by a specialist. Handed-over questions arrive in the inbox or enquiry system the office already uses. The company owns the text; the assistant adds nothing of its own.
General questions only or job status too
An assistant that only answers general questions is simple and safe. If you want it to say when the crew is coming, it needs to read the schedule and recognise the customer. That is useful but needs more care about who sees what. Many companies start general and add status later.
Chat window or answers beside the form
A chat window on the site is easy to use, but customers also ask things there that belong in an enquiry. Showing answers next to the enquiry form helps people while they fill it in. Both can use the same sources; the choice depends on where most questions come from today.
Strict limits or broader answers
The stricter the assistant, the more often it refers on and the more work stays with the office. The broader, the bigger the chance of an answer you would not give. With tree work the line sits at anything to do with safety and the condition of the tree: that stays with people.

At the start the assistant gets your approved texts on preparation, removal and practical arrangements, and hands every other question to the office. We try it out together with ordinary questions such as "do I need to be home" and with a customer reporting that their tree is leaning after a storm. Answers to status questions about current jobs and adding texts from frequently handed-over questions can be switched on whenever you want.

Explore pricing and optionsCan the assistant judge whether a tree is dangerous?
No, and that is deliberate. A judgement on stability or disease needs an arborist who sees the tree. The assistant recognises this kind of question and passes it with the photo to the office. When words point to immediate danger, it advises calling straight away.
What happens to questions the assistant cannot answer?
They are handed over with the full question and any photo, so the office does not need to ask again what is going on. The customer hears that the question has been passed on and roughly when to expect a reply, in line with the response time you set.
How do we keep the answers current?
Sources sit in an editing screen where the owner or office updates a text and releases it again. Handed-over questions that keep coming back appear in a list. You can see which explanation is missing, and a specialist can add it.
Does the assistant quote prices to customers?
Only if you put that in the sources, for example an explanation of what makes up a price. It does not give an amount for a specific tree, because that depends on height, access and removal. For that it points to the enquiry form.
