(513) 935-6506For HVAC, plumbing & every trade shop
Every missed call
books the other guy.
NoHire AI builds AI systems for trade service companies. NH-01, our AI receptionist, answers every call you can’t get to and books the job straight to your calendar. Five more systems call back web leads, sort your inbox, bring past customers back, brief you every morning and screen applicants. All six are live, and NH-01 answers our own line right now.

01 — The problem
Hiring is the slowest way
to get work done.
A seat costs more than a salary. Sourcing, screening, weeks of ramp — and the churn risk that sends you straight back to step one.
$4,700
average cost to make one hire
Recruiting spend only — before the salary starts. SHRM/ANSI benchmark.
44 days
median time to fill a role
SHRM 2025 recruiting benchmark — and that clock stops before any ramp.
1.25–1.4×
true cost multiplier on salary
Benefits, taxes, and overhead. U.S. BLS employer-cost data (1.25–1.4×).
2×
salary to replace a hire who fails
SHRM replacement-cost estimates run 50–200% of annual salary — shown at the top of the range.
02 — The shift
For a century, growth meant headcount.
More work → post a job → wait a quarter.
That loop is broken.
Work is now deployable.
An agent doesn’t apply for the job — it starts doing it. Trained on your business, on the clock around it, accountable to your review.
03 — The agents
Six systems.
All live.
04 — How it works
Job description in.
Working agent out.
No requisition. No interview loop. Three steps, scoped on a call.
01
Describe the role
Tell it what done looks like — the outcomes, the tools, the tone. Plain English. No prompt engineering, no flowcharts.
02
The agent trains
It learns your business from the inside — your docs, your inbox, your CRM. You review its work before a single customer touches it.
03
Live — after it proves itself.
Stress-tested on real calls before it ever takes a customer call. Then it takes the queue; you see exceptions and a log of everything it did. That’s the whole job now.

06 — Proof
Don’t take our word for it.
Test the work.
No polished case studies. We'd rather hand you the phone line, the playbook, and the footage — and let you poke at all three.
The playbook is public
The Answered Phone documents the entire build
The stack, the scripts, the failure modes — written down and given away free. The work should speak before we do.
Watch the stress-tests
Unedited builds and live-call recordings
Every system goes up on the channel — full builds, real calls, no cuts. If it breaks, you’ll watch it break.

07 — Pushback welcome
Asked like a skeptic.
No. A chatbot drafts a reply and hands it back to you. An agent closes the loop — it answers the call, checks the calendar, books the job, updates the CRM, and logs what it did. You review outcomes, not drafts.
It’s bounded before it’s trusted. Every agent ships with confidence thresholds: below the line, it escalates to a human with full context instead of guessing. Every action is logged, so “what happened” is always a lookup, never an argument.
You are — and we build for that. Approval gates on anything sensitive, hard scope limits on what it can touch, and a kill-switch that works instantly. The agent acts; you govern.
Good — that’s the default state of a real business. Agents train on your actual docs, inbox, and tools, not an idealized template. If a person could learn the job from your materials, the agent can too.
A one-time build, from $1,500, scoped on a call. An optional care plan from $300/mo after that. No benefits load, no recruiting spend, no seat licenses. The comparison above runs on SHRM and BLS figures; check our math against your own numbers.
Most “AI assistants” were sold as workers and shipped as suggestion boxes. That’s why we lead with proof of work: our own phone line runs on this exact stack, the build is documented publicly, and you can stress-test it live before you spend a dollar.
