AI texting

AI texting that replies in seconds and follows up for weeks

Texts get read. Two-way AI SMS answers every enquiry while it is still hot, chases every quote without getting awkward, and books the job straight into your calendar - wired into your CRM.

What it does

The channel your customers actually answer

People screen calls and ignore emails, but they read their texts. AI texting puts your fastest, most persistent follow-up on the channel with the best odds - without anyone on your team lifting a thumb.

Inbound - strike while it is hot

  • Replies to new enquiries within seconds, day or night
  • Missed-call text-back - a call that rings out becomes a text conversation instead of a lost job
  • Answers questions about your services, process and service area
  • Books appointments in the thread or sends a booking link
  • Every conversation saved to the contact in your CRM

Follow-up - persistent, personal, polite

  • Quote and proposal follow-up that references the actual conversation
  • Appointment reminders that cut no-shows
  • Review requests after the job is done
  • Database reactivation - old quotes and past customers, warmed back up

Under the hood

Why it converts where blasts annoy

Real two-way conversation

Reads every reply, answers naturally and moves the job forward. Customers text back "who is this" and end up booked - because someone useful answered.

Missed-call text-back

A rung-out call triggers an instant text, so the customer who was about to ring your competitor is already talking to you instead.

One memory with calls

The text follow-up knows what was said on the phone. No repeated questions, no starting over - one conversation across channels.

Everything in the CRM

Every thread lives against the contact, visible on desktop and the mobile app. Jump in and take over any time - the AI steps straight back.

Knows when to stop

Sequences end the moment someone replies, books or opts out. Persistence without pestering - and opt-outs handled to Australian messaging rules.

Connected to your stack

Built into Solar AI-Q and working alongside OpenSolar, Pylon, Simpro, AroFlo, ServiceM8 and Xero. One entry, everywhere updated.

Questions

AI texting FAQ

Is this just SMS blasting?

No. Blast tools send one message to a list and hope. These are two-way conversations - the AI reads every reply, answers questions, handles objections and books the job, one contact at a time. A blast ends when it sends; this ends when the conversation does.

How fast does it reply to a new lead?

Within seconds, around the clock. Speed to lead is the whole game in solar and trades - the first business to respond usually wins the job, and a text that arrives while the enquiry is still open on their screen is very hard to beat.

What is missed-call text-back?

When a call rings out or hits voicemail, the AI immediately texts the caller - something like "Sorry we missed you, how can we help?" The conversation continues over text, and the job that would have gone to the next installer on the list stays yours.

Can it book appointments over text?

Yes. It can hold the whole booking conversation in the thread and land the appointment straight in your calendar, or send a booking link when that suits the customer better. Reminders follow automatically to cut no-shows.

Does it know what was said on a call?

Yes. Texting and AI calling share one memory, so the follow-up text can reference the phone conversation and a customer never has to repeat themselves. One entry, everywhere updated.

Can I jump into a conversation myself?

Any time. Every thread lives in your CRM and the mobile app - you can read along and take over with one tap. The AI steps back the moment a human enters the conversation.

What about opt-outs and spam rules?

Handled properly. Opt-outs are honoured automatically and sending practices follow Australian messaging rules - the system is built for legitimate business conversation, not spam.

What does it cost?

AI texting is part of the Solar AI-Q packages rather than a standalone product - the pricing page has the full breakdown, and a strategy call works out which agents and flows fit your business.

Put AI on your follow-up

A strategy call maps where enquiries and quotes are slipping through, and which agents and sequences would catch them. No pressure, no obligation.
