About
Hatch is an end-to-end AI CSR platform designed specifically for service businesses in industries like HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, remodeling, and home improvement. It replaces or augments human customer service reps with intelligent AI agents that operate 24/7 across phone calls, SMS, and email — ensuring no lead or customer inquiry goes unanswered. The platform is built around several core components: Voice AI handles inbound and outbound calls, filtering inquiries and booking appointments around the clock; Messaging AI manages always-on SMS and email conversations; Journey Builder enables proactive, multi-step customer outreach at every stage of the lifecycle; and the Command Center acts as a centralized hub for CSR tasks, AI activity, and performance insights. The Knowledge Engine allows businesses to train and customize AI behavior based on their specific processes and offerings, while Data Bridge integrates Hatch into existing tech stacks like ServiceTitan. Hatch addresses key business challenges including speed-to-lead (booking digital leads instantly), estimate follow-up (personalized outreach to drive revenue), lead nurture (re-engaging aged leads and no-shows), and customer recontact (membership renewals and recurring services). It scales from SMBs to PE-backed enterprises and multi-location operations, delivering measurable ROI — one customer saved $300K annually while booking 81% of leads with AI.
