Stormy

Stormy's bet is that the front desk of a service business is one continuous object: the call, the quote, the booked slot, the crew text with a door code, the invoice, and the follow-up until the money lands. Most AI phone products stop at answering and hand you a transcript. Stormy closes the job and then chases the invoice, and the vendor's page shows the tools it does that inside — Gmail, Calendar, QuickBooks, Trello, and your existing phone line — rather than a walled garden. The second idea is training, and it is the part worth understanding before you buy. Stormy does not ask you to configure it; it asks you to show it once. On the Summit Comfort example the vendor walks through, a lead tech taught it that no-heat calls with kids at home go first, an office manager taught it that anything over $2k needs a deposit first, and an installer taught it that pre-2015 Goodmans take the round igniter. The company frames this as interviewing every role, including people who never open a laptop, and turning what they say into written steps, limits and named approvers. The screen-share teaching session works the same way: Stormy watches you chase overdue invoices in QuickBooks, Gmail and Trello, writes down the four steps, and asks about the parts it did not see. That is a genuinely different onboarding shape from the usual AI receptionist, and it is also the honest caveat. The more you teach it, the more you depend on it, and the quality of the desks depends on the quality of what your people say on those calls. The vendor claims a receipt for every action and an approval step where things are yours — quotes over $2k still route to a named approver — which is the right answer to the trust question, but you should test that on your own approval rules, not theirs. Where it does not fit: retail or e-commerce with no service trucks and no field calls has nothing for Stormy to do. A shop with a handful of calls a week will not justify $300/mo, though the $50 free signup makes that a cheap experiment rather than a commitment. And three of the six advertised jobs — dispatch and the map, parts and inventory, and hiring — are labeled rolling out by the vendor itself, so plan on the phone-and-money loop being what you get today and treat the rest as roadmap. The $1.7M raise in September 2026, led by Kaya.vc with Y Combinator and SMOK Ventures, is small in absolute terms but consistent with the strategy: this is a company building depth in one vertical at a time rather than a horizontal assistant. The scraped sources name no underlying AI model, so which models Stormy runs on is unverified, and the docs and changelog pages were not reached this run — do not read anything into either.
