Zero bluffing
The agent's leverage comes only from quotes shops committed
How it works
Two voice agents, an interviewer and a buyer, make the calls you can't make while standing outside your own door.
Locked out, broken key, rekeying after a breakup. A one-minute interview captures the door, the urgency, and the hours, once.
The agent rings them in parallel and demands all-in numbers: call-out, labor, travel, after-hours. No 'the tech will price it on site'.
Armed with real committed bids, it presses each shop to beat the best one, and asks where the tech actually dispatches from.
A ranked comparison with red flags, transcripts, and a recording behind every number. You choose, they drive over.
No laptop needed
The same interview runs in chat. Message the bot from the doorstep, answer a few questions, and the calls start while you wait.

Why it wins
Cheap talk is easy for an AI. Haggle is built so every number it uses on a call traces back to evidence.
Backed by
Every shop commits an all-in itemised number on the phone. If the tech quotes more on your doorstep, you have the recording.
The $35 teaser call-out, padded travel from a distant dispatch, the fake-local call center. Each one is a rule that fires with the transcript to prove it.
Leverage is built server-side from committed quotes only. The agent physically cannot bluff on your behalf.
“The agent can only bring leverage it can prove. That constraint isn't a limitation, it's the whole product.”
The honesty guardrail, in one line
Beyond lockouts
Verticals are config files, not code. The same two agents that beat lockout scams already run three more markets.
Lockouts, rekeys, broken keys. The panic purchase where overpaying is the business model, fixed by calling everyone at once.
Apartment and house moves: crew, truck, packing, stairs, insurance, all quoted line by line.
Collision repair estimates: parts, labour, paint, OEM vs aftermarket. Same engine, new market.
Fixed treatment prices before anyone rings your bell, instead of 'special fees' invented inside your home.
Say what happened once. Haggle rings every locksmith nearby, locks a fair all-in price, and brings the receipts.
