Jobber AI receptionist? Sharrk answers every call, follows up in 30 seconds, and Mako builds it all for you
By Sharrk Team · October 15, 2026
Jobber comes with a built-in AI receptionist that answers your calls. If you run your business on Jobber and want more than a receptionist, Sharrk is the upgrade: an AI employee that answers every call 24/7, texts and calls every new lead in under 30 seconds, follows up until they book, and wakes up the old leads you already paid for.
And you don't build any of it by hand. Sharrk comes with Mako, an AI assistant that builds everything for you inside the platform. Tell Mako what you want in plain English and it sets it up, shows you every step and waits for your OK.
Why Sharrk is the smartest AI receptionist for Jobber users
Mako builds it for you
Most software hands you a settings page. Sharrk hands you Mako. Say "answer my calls, text every new lead in 30 seconds and follow up until they book" and Mako reads your website, builds your AI voice agent, writes the follow-up and wires up the automations. You review it, click Apply, and you're live.
Want a change later? Ask Mako. New greeting, a live transfer to your office manager, a review request after every Won job, a win-back campaign for last year's estimates: Mako builds it in minutes.
Every lead answered in under 30 seconds, from everywhere
Your phone isn't the only place jobs come from. Sharrk replies to every new lead in under 30 seconds, by text and AI call, whether it comes from Jobber, Angi, Thumbtack, Networx, your website forms or any webhook. Answering fast decides who wins the job, and with Sharrk that's you, every time. See how it works on our speed-to-lead page.
Calls answered 24/7, booked on the spot
Sharrk's AI voice agents pick up on the first ring, day and night, in a natural voice. They answer questions, qualify the caller, book the appointment and transfer hot calls live to your team.
Follow-up that never quits
Strikes follow up with every new lead by AI call, text, email and voicemail drop, and stop the moment the lead replies or books. No lead slips through because someone got busy.
Old leads turned into new jobs
Hunts reach back out to past leads and customers inside the calling windows you set, with opt-outs, quiet hours and DNC checks built in, and hand anyone ready to book straight back to you. Learn more about lead reactivation.
Your whole front office in one place
Unified inbox, CRM pipeline, AI booking calendar and booking pages, web forms, video SMS, voicemail drops and review requests, all in Sharrk and all buildable by Mako. That's contractor automation done right.
Sharrk has helped clients bring in six figures in revenue, including a single $30,000+ deal.
