Stays on script. Never quotes prices it does not know. Never hallucinates. Hard stops after 3 unanswered messages. STOP and HELP keywords honored. Escalates emergencies, complaints, and legal questions to staff.
Book and hand off. Reads slot back to confirm before writing. Books directly into Calendly, Jobber, Google Calendar, or ServiceTitan, plus most CRM and PMS systems.
