Server-side guardrails
The guardrails you manage in the admin, enforced before Fred replies.
Every fencing and deck deployment runs the Home Services & Construction pack. This is the compliance panel you manage in the admin: the industry pack automation, your own custom rules, and the hard limits Fred holds no matter how it’s asked. All of it is enforced in code before a word reaches the visitor. Not a suggestion in a prompt a clever question can talk around.

Hard limits
The boundaries Fred holds, no matter how a visitor asks.
- Never gives DIY instructions for electrical, gas, structural, or asbestos work
- Always says regulated work requires a licensed contractor
- Never guarantees a lifetime fix or warranty
Your custom rules
Layered on top of the pack, unique to your business. No developer required.
The pack is the starting line, not the ceiling. Every deployment can add its own rules in the admin, block, warn, or just log on any phrase you choose, in either phase, with your own response message. They run right alongside the pack.
- BLOCKoff-topic requests that aren’t your business
- WARNbefore anyone is quoted a price over chat
- LOGwhen a visitor mentions a competitor by name
These industry rules stack on top of the always-on baseline, your region’s privacy and crisis rules, and macro overlays. See how the guardrail layers work
Know which job to call back first.
Every conversation lands in your CRM with a lead score, a purchase probability, and a plain-language summary. The full deck build and the commercial fencing job get called before the single-panel repair, so your team works the highest-value job first instead of guessing.
Fencing and deck questions.
Will Fred quote a price for a fence or deck?
Fred explains how your pricing works and captures the linear feet, height, and material, but it won’t commit to a final number sight-unseen. It books the site visit so you price the real yard.
What about property lines and permits?
Fred won’t give property-line, survey, or permit advice. It captures the question and routes it to your team so the right person handles the legal and permitting details.
Can Fred help choose materials?
Fred can share the materials you build with, wood, vinyl, aluminum, composite, and capture what the customer prefers, then book the site visit for the details.
Does it handle commercial and HOA work?
Yes. Commercial and HOA projects are qualified separately and flagged as higher-value leads so they reach the right estimator quickly.
Book every site visit. Stay in your lane.
