Real Automation is the app for businesses whose phones are answered by William AI, the most personal AI front desk for service businesses. William answers every call the way your best office manager or salesman would: he books the job, takes the message, qualifies the lead, and texts the caller back. This app is where you see all of it. WHAT YOU GET • Today at a glance — calls, new leads, messages, and the callbacks that matter, updated live as calls come in. • Ask William — type or talk to him about your calls. "Who should I call back first?" "What did people want most this week?" • Every call — recording, transcript, summary, and the caller's details. • Call data you can actually use — busiest hours, top services, where callers come from, and a one-tap CSV of everything. Real insight for your marketing and your customers. • Contacts — everyone who has talked to William, how often, and what they wanted. • Hiring — William interviews candidates for your open positions, including Canadian applicants, and you review the results here. • Instant alerts — a notification the moment a call ends; tap it to open that exact call. • Your team — invite your office or a crew lead with their own login, as a viewer or an admin. • Block spam callers, mark leads contacted, and leave notes for your team. • Build your own — API keys and webhooks to send calls to your CRM or spreadsheet. WHY REAL AUTOMATION • Proprietary. William is our own technology, built and trained by Real Automation — not a white-labeled reseller product. • Ownership pricing. You own your front desk instead of renting it month to month. • Backed by a success guarantee. • Built for the trades: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, tree care, landscaping, pest control, roofing, auto, detailing, and more, across the U.S. and Canada. Accounts are created by Real Automation for its clients — there is no in-app signup and nothing is sold in the app. Not a client yet? Visit realautomation.ai.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Real Automation at every 2 days against TreeTrader's every 2 months. TreeTrader's advantage is ratings volume (127 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
