Founder-led · based in Michigan
Built for trade contractors.
Vertos AI is a founder-led automation company. We build the lead-capture, instant-response, and qualification tools HVAC, plumbing, and electrical contractors need to stop losing jobs to whoever answered the phone first.
Why Vertos AI exists
Trade contractors lose leads for one reason above all others: speed. The first business that responds to a homeowner's Angi, Thumbtack, or HomeAdvisor inquiry wins the job, and for small crews that's almost always the competitor with a dedicated receptionist or a 24/7 answering service.
Vertos AI was built to level that playing field. The system watches every major lead source, responds in under 60 seconds, qualifies the lead with AI, and only hands the contractor the calls worth their time.

The founder
Sawyer Varner
FOUNDER, VERTOS AI
Sawyer founded Vertos AI to build the lead-capture and response tooling he felt was missing in the trades. He works directly with every early customer, from the first discovery call through onboarding and tuning the system to their job mix.
