Automating communications for home services companies
👋 We’re Pierre-Habté & Anas from Bravi (F25) and we are bulding AI voice and chat assistants for home service companies.

TL;DR: Bravi builds AI voice & chat assistants for home service installers (shutters, solar, HVAC, carpentry) and manufacturers. We help them capture every lead, follow up instantly, and close more jobs.
Problem
Missed revenue
Most installers and manufacturers selling directly to consumers lose 30–40% of potential revenue because they miss calls, don’t answer emails, and fail to respond to chats in time. Every unanswered lead is lost business.
Broken communication workflows
Sales, admin, and field teams rely on manual callbacks, scattered inboxes, and slow CRMs, which makes it impossible to respond instantly or follow up consistently. That lag costs them real money.
Tools not made for them
Generic chatbots and call centers don’t understand home service workflows — quotes, site visits, or product specs — leaving customers frustrated and companies unable to scale efficiently.
Solution
Bravi fixes this with AI agents that:
- Answer calls & chats 24/7
- Pre-qualify leads (project type, urgency, location)
- Book callbacks for the team
- Create tasks & reminders for team members to ensure follow-through
- Generate and Send quotes automatically
Our Story
This isn’t theory. We (Anas & Pierre) met at UC Berkeley in 2017. After co-founding and scaling our first startup to 20+ employees (acquired in 2024), we wanted to build again, this time in a space we knew personally.
Anas grew up in a family shutter installation business and later launched an online shutter e-commerce store (Volet Dumont). Both showed us the same pain: installers drowning in leads, but losing 30–40% of potential revenue.
That’s how Bravi was born.
🙏 Our Ask
If you answer “yes” to any of these, we’d love your help:
-
Do you know installers, manufacturers, or contractors in home services (shutters, solar, HVAC, carpentry…) who struggle with missed calls or slow follow-ups?
👉 Invite them to test Bravi for free at www.bravi.app
-
Can you introduce us to B2B2C manufacturers selling directly to consumers who could benefit from AI assistants handling their inbound calls, chats, and emails 24/7?
-
Are you working with or know digital agencies or industry partners that build websites for installers and could integrate Bravi’s AI assistants into their clients’ sites?
💬 We’d love to connect — every intro or feedback helps us make sure no home service business ever loses a lead again

How did your company get started? (i.e., How did the founders meet? How did you come up with the idea? How did you decide to be a founder?)
We (Anas and Pierre-Habté) met at UC Berkeley in 2017 and immediately started working together on tech projects. After co-founding Snipfeed, scaling it to 20+ people, and selling the company in 2024, we knew we wanted to build again together.
The idea for Bravi came from a very personal pain point: my stepdad runs a shutter installation business in France, and I saw firsthand how many calls and leads were missed every day. On top of that, I launched a side business, Volet Dumont, selling shutters online, and experienced the same chaos with quoting and customer communication.
We realized installers were losing 30–40% of potential revenue just from slow follow-ups, missed calls, and disorganized workflows. With our background in automation and product scaling, we decided to tackle it head-on.
That’s how Bravi was born: combining our founder-market fit, validated by hundreds of conversations with installers, with the conviction that AI assistants could transform how home service companies capture and convert leads.
