Built for high-consideration home and outdoor projects

Porchlight is the AI front office for consult-led companies selling complex home and outdoor projects. It answers buyers immediately, qualifies the project, and prepares the right person for the next conversation—without pretending every lead is ready to book.

One job, three steps

The web agent is the first Porchlight surface: it turns a serious inquiry into the right next sales conversation while your team keeps control.

The entry job

The first sales call should start with context, not reconstruction.

Porchlight does not try to replace forms, calendars, or your CRM. It fixes the gap between a buyer's first serious question and the human conversation that should follow.

Before

Unstructured inquiry

The buyer asks a real project question. The team gets a notification without the context to answer it.

  • A name and phone number arrive without the project shape
  • Location, budget, timing, and readiness are still unknown
  • A salesperson has to reconstruct the inquiry on the first call
Prepared

With Porchlight

The buyer gets a useful answer. The team gets a prepared call to make.

  • Porchlight answers from the business's approved project knowledge
  • Fit, location, budget, timeline, readiness, and contact details stay attached
  • A compact lead packet reaches the right team member for human follow-up
From first inquiry to finished-project proof

One completed project can strengthen every place the next buyer looks.

Start with a Porchlight inquiry or add any lead or customer directly. When a project is complete, Porchlight uses approved details, photos, and feedback to prepare a review request, Google Business Profile post, social-ready project story, and hosted case study—then brings that proof back into future buyer conversations.

Industry example · sauna project

One shared product, tuned to the questions each industry asks.

A sauna buyer may need help with site fit, power, heater direction, access, timing, and budget before a useful consultation. A pool or outdoor-living buyer follows the same answer, qualify, and advance workflow with different project fields.

Who is Porchlight for?

Porchlight is for consult-led home and outdoor companies whose buyers ask real project questions before they are ready to talk—starting with sauna, spa, pool, and outdoor-living teams.

Is this a CRM or field-service suite?

No. Porchlight does not replace invoices, dispatch, inventory, crew operations, or your CRM. It sits at project intake: answer the buyer's question, qualify fit, and prepare the handoff for a human.

What is in the lead packet?

Each packet can include the project, location, budget, timeline, readiness, contact details, transcript, and next step.

Does Porchlight build my whole website?

Porchlight can run on an existing website or a hosted inquiry path without replacing the tools that run the business.

Do buyers have to schedule themselves?

Teams can keep follow-up manual or offer optional calendar booking when that matches their sales process.

How does the team receive the handoff?

Qualified lead alerts can reach the team by email or optional SMS, with the full project context kept inside Porchlight.
