Built for Trade Contractors
Vertos AI is a founder-led automation company. We build the lead-capture, instant-response, and qualification tools HVAC, plumbing, and electrical contractors need to stop losing jobs to whoever answered the phone first.
Why Vertos AI exists
Trade contractors lose leads for one reason above all others: speed. The first business that responds to a homeowner's Angi, Thumbtack, or HomeAdvisor inquiry wins the job — and for small crews that's almost always the competitor with a dedicated receptionist or a 24/7 answering service.
Vertos AI was built to level that playing field. The system watches every major lead source, responds in under 60 seconds, qualifies the lead with AI, and only hands the contractor the calls worth their time.
More on the founding story — and where we're headed — coming soon.
The Founder
Vertos AI is founder-led. You're talking to the person who built it.
Sawyer Varner
Sawyer founded Vertos AI to build the lead-capture and response tooling he felt was missing in the trades. He works directly with every early customer — from the first discovery call through onboarding and tuning the system to their job mix.
What we stand for
The principles that shape how Vertos AI is built and how we work with customers.
Trade-First
Every feature starts with one question: will this save a trade contractor time or help them win more work?
Trust & Transparency
No hidden fees, no confusing contracts. Straightforward pricing tiers, honest capability claims, and a setup fee that refunds if we can't deliver.
AI That Assists, Not Replaces
The AI handles qualification and instant response. You and your crew stay in control of the actual work and customer relationships.
Founder-Accessible Support
Early customers have a direct line to the founder. No tier-1 support handoffs, no chatbot runaround.
