Common questions

How fast does the AI text me?

Within seconds of the call ending. Most owners get the SMS before they finish whatever job they were on.

Can the AI text me partial info if a caller hangs up early?

Yes. Even a 15-second call gets summarized + texted so you can call back.

Does TheKeyBot replace my answering service?

For most locksmith shops, yes. We answer faster, qualify more deeply, and cost less than per-minute services like Smith.ai or Ruby Receptionist.
