An AI receptionist vs an AI coworker for the trades
Newo is a capable AI receptionist that answers calls and books appointments. AutoRev is an AI coworker built for home services that answers the phone and runs the work around it, inside the FSM you already use.
If your only need is an AI receptionist that answers calls and books into a calendar, Newo is a fine pick. If you want one AI coworker that answers, quotes, invoices, collects, and rehashes dead estimates inside ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, or Jobber, and gets sharper on your own calls every day, choose AutoRev.

Answering the phone is the start, not the job
Newo is a solid AI receptionist. It answers calls around the clock, handles web chat, and books appointments, so the calls you used to miss turn into scheduled work. For a lot of businesses, that is the whole ask.
A home-services business needs more than an answered call. The agent has to know the trade, tell a no-heat emergency from a routine tune-up, price the job from your book, and drop it on the right tech's calendar. Then the estimate has to go out and get chased, the invoice has to be sent and paid, and the quote that went quiet has to be worked again.
AutoRev answers and books like an AI receptionist, then keeps going. It builds the estimate, chases it, sends the invoice, takes the payment, rehashes dead quotes, and works your win-back list, with everything written back into ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, or Jobber. It is a coworker for the whole operation, and you can run it from a chat window.
