An Alberta-built alternative to Voxara
Voxara is a Canadian AI receptionist that markets to HVAC contractors — a newer entrant in the same space. Here's the honest difference: HeyDiane is built and supported in Sherwood Park, Alberta, configured to your specific trade by the founder rather than from a generic template, and — on the Crew plan — wired into your field service software as an assisted workflow we set up with you.

How HeyDiane is different
Diane is built around your business, not handed to you as a generic bot. A real person in Alberta configures her with your service area, your pricing and after-hours rates, and your emergency and escalation rules, then tunes her on real calls. She answers the calls you can't, books routine jobs into your calendar with a confirmation text, quotes the after-hours fee you set, and texts your cell on a genuine emergency. On the Crew plan she captures a structured job for an assisted field-service workflow. Pricing is flat — $0 founder setup and $199 a month CAD, month-to-month, one-click cancel.
The fair tradeoff: a newer tool may have a lower entry price, and if a basic HVAC answering setup is all you need, that can be enough. HeyDiane is for the Alberta shop that wants the receptionist configured for its trade and wired into the field software it already runs — answered, triaged, and booked, at a flat Canadian-dollar price.

Common questions
How is HeyDiane different from Voxara?
Both are AI receptionists. HeyDiane is built and supported in Alberta, configured to your trade by the founder, priced flat in Canadian dollars at $199 a month, and supported with assisted ServiceTitan, Jobber and Housecall Pro workflow integration — so a structured job is ready for your team the moment the call ends.
Does HeyDiane integrate with my field service software?
On the Crew plan, yes — as an assisted workflow. Diane captures a structured job on the call, and we help wire that into the field-service system you already run, rather than handing you a connector to build and maintain yourself.
Is HeyDiane built for Alberta trades specifically?
Yes. Diane is configured one-on-one for your shop — your service area, after-hours fees, and emergency rules — and runs on flat $199/mo CAD pricing with PIPEDA-minded data handling. Live in 48 hours.
