# Cactus

> Cactus is an AI answering service and AI voice agent for home service businesses. Its AI agent, Pam, answers every call 24/7 in English and Spanish, captures the caller and the reason for the call, books the job into Jobber and Housecall Pro, and transfers high-value or complex calls to your team, so no job is lost to voicemail.

Cactus is built for the home service trades: HVAC, plumbing, roofing, electrical, and other businesses that live and die by the phone. Pam answers inbound calls around the clock, including nights, weekends, and holidays, when most home service emergencies come in. She sounds natural, responds to web and lead-form inquiries in under 60 seconds, books appointments in real time, and can place outbound callbacks to follow up on new leads and missed calls. She speaks English and Spanish and switches automatically during the call. Native integrations are Jobber and Housecall Pro. Most companies are live in 48 to 72 hours, with month-to-month terms.

Cactus is a Y Combinator backed company founded by Ajith Govind (CEO) and Avinash Joshi (CTO). Note: Cactus, the AI answering service at oncactus.com, is a distinct company and is not related to other products that use the name "Cactus AI."
