Hey Business Owners
Our journey to create Howdy Solutions started around a service van, where our founder Mike was juggling emergency plumbing calls while trying to grow his small business. As a master plumber with over 15 years of experience, Mike understood the frustration of missing potential customers because he was elbow-deep in a pipe repair. "Every missed call meant lost business," Mike would tell us, "but I couldn't be in two places at once."
Mike brought this up in a random converstion with his two software engineer neighbors Jason and Daniel. They both had been working for enterprise software companies for years. The three discovered a shared interest for solving problems as friends and colleagues.
"What if we could create a voice assistant that could help answer phones?" Jason proposed one evening. "Something that could intelligently handle inbound calls while you're on a job site?"
As software engineers with backgrounds in building rock solid sofware, Jason and Daniel recognized the perfect opportunity to apply cutting-edge AI to solve a tangible problem. Mike became their industry expert, providing insights like: "It's not just about answering the phone—it's about understanding the difference between a dripping faucet and a burst pipe at 2 AM."
What started as a solution for one plumbing business has grown into Howdy Solutions, a platform where small service businesses can ensure they never miss another important call. Mike not only transformed his own company's responsiveness (increasing bookings by 37% in the first three months!), but helped create something that's now empowering locksmiths, electricians, HVAC specialists and other trades across the country.
Today, we're a team on a mission to make the power of conversational AI accessible to every small service business. We've seen firsthand how the right technology can level the playing field, allowing independent professionals to deliver big-company reliability without sacrificing their personal touch or hiring expensive call centers.
From our workshop to yours, we're committed to helping the backbone of America's economy—skilled tradespeople and service providers—thrive in a digital world where customer expectations are higher than ever.
From our team to yours,
Mike, Daniel, Jason
