A handyman gets dozens of small requests: hang a shelf, replace a tap, assemble a closet, fix a handle. Each one alone is not worth the drive, and a whole list is worth a day's work.

The Darka agent answers in your name, collects from the customer everything that needs doing in the home, asks for photos, estimates how long it will take by the hourly or per-job price you set, and fills whole days for you instead of short trips.

What your customers ask

The agent answers these questions for you, by your prices and your rules.

What the agent does for you

What a chat with a customer looks like

CustomerHi, I need a TV hung, a dresser assembled and the kitchen tap replaced.
The agentHi, this is the assistant of Amit the handyman. Could I have a photo of the wall for the TV and of the tap? And do you already have the TV mount?
CustomerI sent photos. We have the mount.
The agentThanks. The three jobs together will take about three hours, ₪600 including call-out. Will you buy the new tap yourselves, or should Amit bring one?
CustomerHe should bring one.
The agentDone. A standard tap costs another ₪180. Booked for Sunday at 9:00, and I'll remind you the evening before.

Frequently asked questions

What is an AI agent?

An AI agent is a digital assistant that works for your business. An ordinary bot answers from a fixed menu. An agent understands free language and also gets things done: it answers customers on WhatsApp and by phone, books jobs in the calendar, gives price quotes and sends payment reminders, all by the rules you set.

Can the agent estimate how long a job takes?

It uses the times and prices you give it, for example "assembling a dresser: one hour" or "hanging a TV: ₪250". Whatever you have not defined, it marks for you in the summary and tells the customer that you will confirm the price.

And what if the customer asks for a job I don't do?

You define what you do and what you do not. For a job outside your work, such as electricity or gas, the agent politely tells the customer that it is not in your field.

What is the difference between an AI agent, a virtual receptionist and a WhatsApp bot?

An ordinary WhatsApp bot answers from a fixed menu. A virtual receptionist is usually a person who answers for you during certain hours. A Darka AI agent speaks in everyday language like a receptionist, answers at any hour like a bot, and also does the work: books the calendar, gives prices, prepares documents and collects payments.

Do I need to install an app?

No. Everything works through WhatsApp and an ordinary phone. You talk to the agent as you would to an employee, and it sends you summaries and files in the same chat.

Can it answer phone calls?

Yes. You forward the calls you did not pick up to it, and it answers in English, Hebrew or any language, in your business's name, and writes down what the customer wanted. During setup it explains how to connect this.

Will it give customers too low a price?

No. You set the prices and, if you like, a minimum price for negotiating. It does not go below the minimum and does not commit to anything you have not approved.

What about invoices?

It tracks payments, reminds customers who owe and prepares a monthly income report, including VAT, in Excel. You keep issuing official tax invoices in your own software.

Does it work on Shabbat?

No. Darka is not active on Shabbat and Jewish holidays. A customer who writes on Shabbat gets an answer after Shabbat ends.

How secure is it? Is my business's and my customers' information safe?

Yes. Darka does not sell your information and does not use it for advertising. Your phone number is your account, and a personal code (PIN) protects your saved details. Passwords and credit card details are stored encrypted, are never said aloud and are never sent in messages. Before every payment Darka reads out what is being paid and waits for a clear "yes" from you. And at any time you can ask to see, correct or delete your information: info@darka.app. The full details are in the privacy policy, at the bottom of the page.

What does it cost?

The first month is free. After that, about ₪200 a month, depending on how much work the agent does. Prefer not to pay? You can carry on for free with 30 minutes a month.
