AI receptionist for plumbers in Bukhara
A plumber in Bukhara cannot answer messages while lying under a sink. The agent answers for him: it quotes “from” prices from your list, offers free time, and if water is going through to the neighbours, calls the on-call plumber that same minute.
Hello! There’s no hot water in the flat, so we’ve bought a 50-litre water heater. How much to hang it and connect it?
Hello! Connecting a water heater starts at 250,000 sum. The plumber will give the final sum on site: it depends on the fixings and how long the pipe runs are. Could you send a photo of the wall where it will hang?
Sent. It’s the bathroom, a brick wall, the pipes are close.
Thank you, I’ve added the photo to your request. Sherzod is free tomorrow at 11:00 and at 18:30. Which time suits you?
18:30, please. 9 Bobur Street, flat 21, near the college.
Booked: tomorrow at 18:30 with Sherzod. I’ll send a reminder in the morning.
When customers write in Bukhara
In private houses people keep an eye on the pump and the tank: if the pressure goes, they write at once, often by voice. In blocks of flats they write about risers and leaks into the flat below. Most messages come in the morning and evening, when owners are home and can see what has happened.
Busiest hours: 07:00 to 10:00 and 18:00 to 22:00
Morning, a puddle in the kitchen: the flexible hose under the sink is leaking. The agent asks for a photo and books a plumber for the evening, when the owners are back.
After lunch a cafe writes: the kitchen sink will not drain and there are guests coming in the evening. The agent books the plumber into the nearest slot before the evening rush.
Evening: the hot water is off again, and the owners decide to fit a water heater. The agent quotes the “from” price for connecting it, asks for a picture of the wall and offers a plumber for the next day.
Answers in Uzbek and Russian
The agent answers in the language the message came in and does not change it unless the customer asks. Here is one reply in both languages.
Many people here speak Tajik at home, and the agent answers in Tajik too.
Assalomu alaykum, Dilbar! Usta bugun soat 20:00 da keladi. U yetib kelguncha, iltimos, suvni ochmang.
Дилбар, здравствуйте! Мастер будет у вас сегодня в 20:00. Пока он не приехал, пожалуйста, не открывайте воду.
What the agent takes off your hands
Finds out how urgent it is first
The first thing the agent asks is whether it is leaking right now and where the water is going. If it is going into the flat below, it asks the customer to close the main valve and calls the on-call plumber straight away. Everything else, from a cistern to a new water heater, gets booked into free time.
Understands voice messages and photos
A customer can describe the problem in a voice message and send a photo. The agent understands the voice message, replies in text and adds the photo to the request, so the plumber knows in advance what to bring.
Books and reminds
Offers times when the plumber is free and puts the job in his schedule, so customers never overlap. The request with the address and photos is saved in your CRM or the built-in Solwees CRM, and the day before, the customer gets a reminder.
“From” prices only
What a repair will cost only becomes clear on site, and the agent tells the customer so. In advance it quotes only what is in your price list, as a “from” price.
Asks for a landmark
Addresses in a mahalla are often explained by a landmark, and the agent asks for one in every request, along with the floor or flat number. The plumber does not waste time searching and arrives at the booked hour.
Bukhara: local context
The centre of Bukhara Region and one of the great Silk Road cities.
Its historic centre, with the Ark fortress and the Poi Kalyan ensemble, is protected by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
By day craftsmen work in shops under the domes of the old trading arcades, and in the evening the city gathers by Lyabi-Hauz and in the teahouses.
The memorial of Bahouddin Naqshband stands just outside Bukhara, and pilgrims come from all over the country all year round.
In Bukhara the houses in the old quarters stand wall to wall, and their pipes were replaced in different years. The plumber needs to know where to go and what to expect, so the agent asks for a photo and a landmark and answers customers in Uzbek, Tajik or Russian, whichever suits them.

Frequently asked questions
Does the agent answer in Uzbek?
Yes. The agent writes in whichever language it was addressed in: Uzbek, Tajik, Russian or English. If the customer moves to another language mid-conversation, the agent carries on in that one.
Can a customer just send a voice message?
Yes, it is even quicker. The agent understands the voice message, replies in text and puts a short summary in the request, so the plumber does not have to listen to the recording himself.
What does the agent do if water is going through to the neighbours?
First the agent helps stop the water: it asks the customer to close the main valve to the flat. Then it gets the floor and flat number, attaches the photos and passes the request to the on-call plumber, telling the customer the plumber already knows and will call back.
Will the agent tell customers what the repair will cost?
No, only “from” prices from your list: the call-out, clearing a blockage, connecting a water heater. The plumber names the exact sum on site, once he sees what has happened.
Where are requests saved?
Wherever you already keep your customers. If you have no such system, everything is stored in the built-in Solwees CRM, and the visits show up in your plumbers’ calendar.
