A trade-tuned alternative to Dialzara
Dialzara is a capable AI answering service used across many industries — answering questions, transferring urgent calls, scheduling, taking messages. Broad and flexible. HeyDiane trades breadth for depth and locality: rather than one configurable bot for every industry, Diane is built specifically around your trade and your Alberta market, by the founder, and billed in Canadian dollars. Narrower on purpose — because a furnace-out call and a salon booking aren't the same call.

How HeyDiane is different
A do-everything bot is only as good as the configuration you give it. Diane comes pre-built around your trade by someone who interviewed you about it — your service area, your real prices and after-hours fees, your emergency rules — so a no-heat call gets handled like a no-heat call and the after-hours fee is quoted to the dollar. She books routine jobs into your calendar, texts your cell on a real emergency, and runs on a flat price: $0 founder setup and $199 a month CAD, month-to-month.
The fair tradeoff: a broad, configurable service like Dialzara is flexible across many use cases, and if you want one tool you set up yourself for a general purpose, that breadth is useful. HeyDiane is deliberately narrow and done-for-you — built deep around one trade, in Alberta, billed in CAD.
