The AI assistant for carpenters:
every project qualified, every quote chased
With Reepli.ai, the AI answers while the planer is running, asks the right questions about the job — timber, dimensions, supply-only or fitted — and chases the quotes that went quiet.
In summary
- A carpenter can't pick up with both hands in the machine: the customer rings the next joiner and the job goes elsewhere.
- With Reepli.ai, the AI replies within seconds, records the type of work, the dimensions and the deadline, then feeds your WhatsApp CRM.
- Reepli does not price your work. It automatically chases the quotes you've already sent — a staircase or a fitted kitchen is rarely decided in a week.
- Measuring visits get booked straight from WhatsApp through appointment booking for tradespeople.
- The AI tells a customer who wants a shelf apart from a full shopfitting contract, so your time goes to the jobs that matter.
- When you're in the workshop all day, an automated phone answering setup picks up the slack. Flat fee from 79€/month.
You can't answer the phone with both hands in the planer
The workshop is loud, the machines are running, you're wearing ear defenders. The phone buzzes deep in your pocket: someone wants a bespoke kitchen. You'll call back tonight — except tonight they've already booked a visit with another joiner. On bespoke work, whoever answers first gets the visit, and whoever gets the visit wins the job.
Missed calls in the workshop — loud machines, ear defenders on
Joinery quotes with no follow-up, left dormant for weeks
Vague enquiries — no way to know if a job is serious before driving out
The problem isn't your woodwork: it's that nobody is holding the customer relationship while you're in production. That is exactly what Reepli.ai is for.
An assistant holding the relationship while you're in production
Instant reply, machines still running
The AI answers within seconds on WhatsApp, asks what the piece is, rough dimensions and the deadline. You step out of the workshop to an enquiry already scoped.
Qualifying the job before you drive out
A bespoke shelf and a shop refit aren't worth the same trip. The AI asks the questions that separate them: indicative budget, supply-only or fitted, timber, timescale.
Automatic quote follow-up
A joinery quote gets compared, then forgotten. Reepli follows up at the right moment, without nagging. See our client follow-up templates.
Measuring appointments
The customer picks a survey slot from WhatsApp and gets a reminder the day before — no more driving out to an empty house.
Review request after fitting
Once the piece is installed, the AI sends the Google review request while satisfaction is at its peak. See how to collect reviews over WhatsApp.
Instagram enquiries handled in the same place
Your finished work pulls in DMs on Instagram — usually an inspiration photo and a "do you make these?". The agent handles them exactly like WhatsApp: instant replies on Instagram.
A carpenter's day with Reepli on backup
7am — Opening the workshop
Three messages arrived overnight. The AI has qualified them: a wardrobe project, a door to trim, a full kitchen enquiry. You know who to call back first.
11am — Mid-cut
A homeowner writes about an oak worktop. The AI takes the dimensions and offers a measuring visit on Friday. You never stopped the machine.
3pm — A dormant quote
A shopfitting quote sent twelve days ago has gone quiet. Reepli follows up. The customer replies that they were waiting on the bank.
6pm — End of day
The review request goes out to the customer whose bookcase went in yesterday. Your Google profile gains a recommendation.
FAQ — Reepli for carpenter
What tool works for a carpenter working alone in the workshop?
A carpenter spends the day in production, machines running, often in ear defenders: picking up is impossible. Reepli.ai answers for you on WhatsApp, qualifies the job (type of work, dimensions, deadline, supply-only or fitted) and hands you the file. You call back once the machine is off, without having lost the customer.
How do I stop driving out to jobs that go nowhere?
By qualifying before the visit. Reepli.ai always asks the questions that sort real jobs from browsing: indicative budget, timescale, supply-only or fitted, site constraints. You only take the van out for jobs that stand up.
Does Reepli price my bespoke work?
No. Reepli.ai generates no quotes: the price of a staircase or a kitchen depends on timber, sections, ironmongery and fitting. What it does do is automatically chase the quotes you've already sent that went unanswered, which noticeably lifts your win rate.
Can Reepli book my measuring appointments?
Yes. The customer picks a slot inside the WhatsApp conversation and gets a reminder the day before. That removes wasted trips to empty houses, which cost most when the workshop is far out.
How much does Reepli cost for a carpenter?
Reepli.ai is a flat fee from 79€/month, with no per-message or per-customer charge. It covers 24/7 AI replies, job qualification, quote follow-up, appointment booking and Google review requests.
