Setline
FOR LOCAL TRADES - HVAC, PLUMBING, ELECTRICAL
Set it. We catch what you miss.
A setline works while you're away from the water. So does this.
62%
of calls to small trade businesses go unanswered
85%
of those customers never call back - they move on
$50K+
lost annually per shop to missed calls alone
The problem
You're not losing jobs because of your work.
You're losing them because you were on the job. A customer texts about a broken water heater and gets no response. By the time you're free to call back, they've already hired someone else.
That's not a customer service problem. It's a response time problem. And it's costing local shops an average of $50,000 a year in jobs they never even knew they missed.
That's not fair. So I fixed it.
Who I am
I'm Rachael. I built this for you.
"My grandpa built a tool repair shop in his backyard in Texas. He built the workshop himself, built the reputation himself, and became someone his community relied on. That's the world I grew up in. I ended up in a corporate job where AI tools landed on my desk before more people even knew they existed. That's not a skill - it's luck. And sitting with that while watching small businesses get swallowed up by companies with bigger budgets and better tech created a conflict I couldn't ignore. Setline is what I'm doing about it.

I set up your interactive voicemail - ToolTec - and test it before it ever talks to a customer.
03 - It runs
While you're on the job
Customer reaches out. ToolTec responds instantly, asks a couple quick questions, and sends their info straight to your phone. You call them back when you're free.
04 - I maintain it
You text me if anything's off

No website? No problem. ToolTec works from a phone number - nothing for you to install or update.
Meet ToolTec.
Your interactive voicemail. Set up and managed by a real person.
ToolTec is the AI agent I build and maintain for every Setline client. The name comes from my grandpa's shop - ToolTec, a one-man tool repair business he built by hand in his backyard. Same idea. Different tools. ToolTec responds to your customers instantly, asks a couple quick questions, and sends you everything you need to call them back. You never lose the lead.
