In this article, you will learn how to use Genius Answering to automatically respond to incoming texts and emails — helping you book more jobs without lifting a finger.
Genius Answering is an AI-powered messaging tool capable of responding to all of your incoming texts and emails. It can talk to your customers about the services they need, ask all the right questions, and add new jobs to your schedule.
How Genius Answering handles your messages will depend on your settings. For example, if you do not want Genius Answering to provide pricing for on-site estimates, you must first configure that in your settings.
To learn more about configuring Genius Answering, please see this article.
