STL Agent is a speed-to-lead system built for contractors. A lead comes in, the contractor gets a Telegram notification within seconds, and AI emails the customer an intelligent response immediately. The contractor manages their pipeline from Telegram without leaving the job site. No CRM login. No app to check. Just their phone.

The Problem

Contractors lose over $50,000 a year from slow lead follow-up. The average response time in the industry is 42 to 47 hours. By then the customer has already called someone else. 78% of customers buy from whoever responds first. The problem isn’t that contractors don’t care. It’s that they’re on a roof or under a sink when leads come in.

How It Works

A lead submits a form on the contractor’s website. Within seconds, the contractor gets a Telegram notification with the lead details and urgency level. AI emails the customer a qualifying response immediately. The contractor can manage leads, book appointments, close deals, and check stats directly from Telegram using simple commands. No app to download. No dashboard to check.

A daily morning briefing summarizes overnight leads, scheduled jobs, and what needs attention. Automated follow-up reminders make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

What’s Coming

AI-powered phone calls that answer leads live. Outbound SMS follow-up. Voice transcription for missed calls. The goal is to make sure no lead ever waits.
