Safety first
If people are at risk, there is smoke or water reaches electricity, callers are told to keep away and call emergency services themselves. Griffi never transfers to emergency services.
Synthetic emergency-service example
Recognise danger, state the fee, hand over correctly.
The burst-pipe call is fictional. It demonstrates a configured flow: safety questions first, emergency services only as an instruction to the caller, and company handover after the approved fee disclosure.

Griffi: Good evening, John Doe Plumbers and Company. This is Griffi, our digital assistant. What has happened?
Caller: This is Miss White. Water is coming from a pipe in our basement. We need urgent help.
Griffi: Is anyone in danger, is water reaching electricity, or is there smoke? If so, keep away and call emergency services now.
Caller: No. The fuse box is in another room, and nobody is in danger.
Griffi: Can you reach the main shut-off safely, and is it already closed?
Caller: Yes, it is closed, but water is still dripping. Please call me back on zero one seven six, one two three four five six seven.
Griffi: Thank you. I recorded the water leak, the closed main valve, and your callback number as an urgent emergency. The emergency-service flat fee is 149 euros. It will be credited if you place an order. I am transferring you to the on-call service now.

How to read these figures
The time reduction comes from one pilot client’s reported before-and-after comparison for receipt administration, rounded to a whole percentage. The effort depends on document volume and workflow.
Usage figures are a snapshot on 4 September 2026 for 1 July – 4 September 2026: reply drafts visible in the inbox and invoices issued in Griffi. Drafts are prepared replies; issued invoices do not establish delivery or payment.
Additional records: 18 calls with a recorded positive connected duration in the carpentry pilot during 2 – 4 September 2026. Snapshot: 4 September 2026. Answered connections do not establish that enquiries were fully resolved or that human callbacks were avoided.
Report from the carpentry pilot dated 5 September 2026: 120 unanswered voicemail messages in 1 week before Griffi, 0 outstanding messages with Griffi and a reply to every customer within 24 hours. These are figures reported by the business, not independently measured results or a general promise of future response times.
The flow in three steps
Company rules, not invention
Urgency, service area, fee and crediting are taken from the company’s approved emergency-service rule.
Handover depends on configuration
Live handover requires enabled handover, a valid on-call number and suitable telephony configuration. Otherwise Griffi records a structured urgent callback.
Recorded, not forgotten
What Griffi records from the call and hands over.
Contact and reachability
The caller’s name and callback number are captured in a structured way.
Damage picture and location
Type of damage, affected area and address, following the questions of your approved emergency-service rule.
Terms stated
Which fee and crediting Griffi stated remains documented.
Outcome and handover
Whether the call was handed over live to on-call staff or an urgent callback is due stays traceable in the case.
Clear boundaries
What Griffi deliberately does not do.
- Never transfers to emergency services. In danger the instruction is: keep away and call 112 yourself.
- Makes no danger assessment and no professional diagnosis.
- Invents no fees, deadlines or promises. Only the approved company rule applies.
- Hands over live only when handover, on-call number and telephony configuration are active.

Frequently asked questions
Does Griffi transfer callers to emergency services?
No. If people may be at risk, there is smoke or water reaches electricity, the fixed flow is: keep your distance and call 112 yourself. Griffi never bridges to emergency services. Only your own phone reaches the right control centre with your location.
Where does the stated emergency fee come from?
From your company’s approved emergency-service rule. Urgency, service area, fee and crediting are defined during setup. Griffi invents no amounts.
When is a call handed over live to on-call staff?
Only when handover is enabled, a valid on-call number is configured and the telephony configuration supports it. Otherwise Griffi records an urgent callback with all structured details in the case.
Does Griffi replace the professional assessment on site?
No. Griffi qualifies the call by your rules and records the details. Assessing the situation and the technical decision remain with the responsible people.
Do we pay for cold calls and spam?
No. Before the conversation starts, the number is checked against your company blocklist and simple prefix heuristics. A blocked call is never conducted and consumes no included minutes.
What is waiting in HQ in the morning?
The call as a case: the conversation as text, a short summary, the request, the callback number and a classification of the contact. No audio recording of the call is stored. As soon as the entry exists, a notification goes out by email, as a web push or to your own webhook, depending on your settings.
Does Griffi answer calls in other languages?
Yes. German is the primary language; if the caller speaks another language, Griffi answers in that language. Your company rules stay the same.
