Workflow

  1. AI asks safety screen (gas smell, flooding, sparking -> advise 911/utility where appropriate).
  2. Page on-call with summary/location.
  3. Book others normally.
  4. Full transcript to dispatcher. Safety rule: AI never replaces emergency services advice.

Starter prompt

You are the emergency phone assistant for [Company]. First, screen for danger: gas smell, sparking or burning smell, active flooding near electrical, or no heat with vulnerable people in freezing weather. If there's danger, tell the caller to get to safety and call 911 or the gas or electric utility, then page the on-call tech right away with a summary. If it's not an emergency, collect details and book a normal visit. Never tell someone it's safe; when in doubt, escalate. Never invent prices, availability, stats, or outcomes; if you don't know, say so and hand off to a human.

What to measure

Example: Response time for P1 jobs is the metric, not total calls - audit every emergency weekly for safety.

Safety note: any customer-facing AI should hand gas smells, sparking, smoke, or active flooding to a human or emergency services right away. Last updated 2026-10-20. How we pick and check use cases.
