AI agent for renovation contractors
Collects the project details, prepares a price quote and chases payments. A personal agent (a digital assistant) on WhatsApp and by phone, in English, Hebrew or any language, in your business's name.
First month freeIn renovations, most of the time goes on things that are not renovation: answering inquiries, collecting measurements and photos, writing quotes, coordinating tradesmen and asking for the next payment.
The Darka agent takes that part. It talks with the customer until there is a clear picture of the project, prepares a quote from your price list and reminds the customer of each payment by the stages of the work.
What your customers ask
- "Roughly how much to renovate a bathroom in a 4-room apartment?"
- "Do you also knock down a wall and open up the kitchen?"
- "When can you start, and how long will it take?"
- "Can I get a written quote?"
The agent answers these questions for you, by your prices and your rules.
What the agent does for you
- Asks the customer the first-visit questions: size, current condition, what is being replaced, budget and timetable
- Asks for photos and measurements and files them for you in one folder per customer
- Prepares a proper quote (PDF or Word) from your price list, for your approval before it is sent
- Books the site visit and coordinates with the customer
- Sends the customer a reminder for each payment by the work stages you agreed

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.
Does a quote go out without my seeing it?
Not if you choose so. The agent prepares the quote and sends it to you, and only after your approval does it go to the customer.
Can it manage several projects at once?
Yes. Each customer has their own folder: photos, quotes, payment stages and conversations. You can ask it at any moment "what's the status with Cohen?" and get an answer.
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.
