Bernard

AI phone agent for appliance repair businesses that answers calls, books jobs, and pre-IDs

Visit Bernard

Bernard is an AI-driven operations tool designed for home appliance repair companies. It addresses the challenge of managing inbound service calls, scheduling, and parts preparation, which often leads to inefficiencies and missed issues. By automating the initial call handling and job recognition, Bernard helps ensure that technicians arrive with a complete understanding of the repair needed and the necessary parts, reducing the likelihood of repeat visits.

The platform automates the entire workflow from the first customer contact. It answers calls during business hours, overflow, and after-hours, and recognizes different job types such as new repairs, warranty dispatches, status requests, or redo jobs. Bernard applies the company’s own business rules for pricing, coverage, and service areas. It reads live technician availability and appointment windows to schedule visits, matching each job with the right technician. The tool also confirms appointments, surfaces missing parts or coverage conflicts, and triggers follow-up actions. It integrates with existing field service management (FSM) systems.

Bernard is built for home appliance repair businesses that want to streamline their operations and reduce manual coordination. The website does not specify pricing, free plans, or trial availability, nor does it detail specific editions or seat-based versus usage-based packaging.
