Housecall Pro is a popular field service tool for home services operators: dispatch, invoicing, payments, basic CRM. The field side works. The sales side leaks: leads slow to respond, follow-up cadence inconsistent, no autonomous AI agent.
Run Wild is the AI sales layer. Sub-10-second inbound response. Autonomous follow-up. AI-built pipeline. Then hand off to your field tool for the field work, or replace it entirely if you prefer consolidated tooling.
