Service Limitations

Last Updated: December 22, 2025

Critical Notice: Greet is NOT an emergency service or a 911 replacement. This page explains what Greet can and cannot do.

What Greet Is

Greet is an AI-powered phone answering service designed specifically for plumbing, HVAC, and electrical businesses. We answer incoming calls 24/7, capture customer information, detect potential emergencies, and send you notifications.

What Greet Is NOT

  • NOT an emergency service: Greet cannot dispatch emergency personnel, contact 911, or provide emergency assistance.
  • NOT a guarantee: We strive for reliability, but cannot guarantee 100% uptime, call quality, or AI accuracy.
  • NOT a dispatcher: Greet captures information and alerts you, but does not schedule technicians or dispatch services.
  • NOT perfect: AI technology can occasionally misinterpret requests, miss details, or make transcription errors.

Emergency Handling Limitations

Greet can detect and flag potential emergencies like burst pipes, gas leaks, no heat situations, or power outages. However:

  • Greet cannot contact emergency services on behalf of callers
  • Greet cannot guarantee immediate notification delivery due to email/SMS delays
  • Greet cannot dispatch help or ensure someone responds to emergencies
  • You are responsible for monitoring alerts and responding appropriately

If a caller is experiencing a life-threatening emergency, they should hang up and dial 911 immediately. Greet cannot provide emergency assistance.

AI Technology Limitations

Greet uses artificial intelligence to understand and respond to callers. While we train our AI specifically for trades, limitations include:

  • Occasional misunderstandings: Complex requests, accents, or background noise may cause errors
  • Transcription mistakes: Names, addresses, or technical terms may be captured incorrectly
  • Context limitations: AI may not always understand nuanced situations or unusual requests
  • Third-party dependencies: We rely on external AI providers whose performance we cannot fully control

You are responsible for verifying all customer information, job details, and addresses before dispatching technicians.

Service Reliability Limitations

While we strive for maximum uptime and reliability, limitations include:

  • Potential service outages: Technical issues, maintenance, or third-party provider problems may cause downtime
  • Call quality issues: Network problems, poor connections, or phone system issues may affect call quality
  • Delayed notifications: Email/SMS alerts may be delayed due to carrier or network issues
  • No backup guarantees: We recommend maintaining alternative communication methods for critical situations

Your Responsibilities

By using Greet, you acknowledge and accept these limitations. You agree to:

  • Monitor call logs and alerts regularly
  • Verify all customer information before dispatching services
  • Respond to emergency alerts promptly and appropriately
  • Not rely on Greet as your sole means of emergency communication
  • Maintain backup communication systems for critical situations
  • Comply with all applicable laws, including call recording regulations
