Answering calls for home services • law firms • clinics • property teams • auto shops • salons
We set up a human-sounding AI receptionist that answers every call 24/7, answers your customers' questions, and books appointments straight into your calendar.
Most people don't leave a message. They call the next business on Google, and whoever picks up gets the job.
It doesn't take messages. It gets things done while the caller is still on the line.
Nights, weekends, holidays, lunch breaks and busy afternoons. No voicemail, no hold music, no "call back during business hours."
Checks your real availability, books while the caller is on the line, and handles reschedules and cancellations. Syncs with Google Calendar.
Hours, pricing, services, location, parking, policies. If it doesn't know something, it takes a message instead of guessing.
You decide what counts as urgent. Those calls reach your phone right away. Everything else waits in a clean summary for the morning.
"I need the owner." "Is Sarah in?" It routes calls using rules you set, to the numbers you choose.
English, Spanish and 70+ more. It switches automatically when a caller starts speaking another language.
Every call is recorded, transcribed and summarized — so you know what was said and what happened next.
The difference between a bot and a receptionist is knowing which calls can wait. Pick your industry and hear a real call.
Your crew is on a roof, under a sink or in an attic. The homeowner with a flooded basement isn't leaving a voicemail — they're calling the next company. Your receptionist picks up, finds out what's wrong, and gets the job on your schedule.
Someone who just left the ER, or just decided to file, calls at 9pm. They hire whoever picks up. Your receptionist takes the intake while you're in court, with a client, or asleep.
Runs on infrastructure that is ISO 27001 certified. Review it against your own professional responsibility rules before putting it on your intake line.
Your front desk is checking someone out and the phone keeps ringing. A new patient calling three practices books with whoever answers first. Your receptionist answers, books the visit, and gets urgent cases seen fast.
Not HIPAA compliant yet. Veterinary practices generally aren't subject to HIPAA; dental practices should check their own requirements first.
Prospects call in the evening, when they can finally tour. Residents call when something is already wet. Your receptionist handles both and knows which is which.
Your advisor is with a customer and every tech is on a lift. The driver whose car won't start isn't waiting for a callback. Your receptionist takes the call and books the drop-off.
You can't put down the scissors mid-color to answer the phone. By the time you call back, they've booked somewhere else. Your receptionist books them while you work.
Live in 4 days, with no tech skills needed. You keep your number, and most of the work is on our side.
Thirty minutes on how your phones work today: when calls get missed, what customers ask, what counts as an emergency. You'll leave knowing roughly what missed calls are costing you.
We load your services, prices, hours and team, write the emergency and transfer rules, connect your calendar and pick a voice. You hear it before any customer does.
Calls are forwarded to your receptionist. Choose whether it answers everything, only after hours, or only the calls your team can't pick up.
Then we stay on it: every month we review your calls, add answers to anything it couldn't handle, and tune what isn't working.
For most businesses, a couple of extra booked jobs a month covers the cost.

Anyone can switch on an AI phone agent. The difference between one that frustrates callers and one that books jobs is the setup — and someone reading the calls afterwards.
Setup, calendar connection, call forwarding and testing. You approve it; we handle it.
What counts as an emergency, who gets transferred, what it should never say, which add-ons to mention.
We read the transcripts, fill the gaps where it couldn't answer, and adjust anything that isn't landing.
New hours, a new service, a holiday closure? Message us and it's changed the same day.
Book a free 30-minute strategy call. We'll look at how your calls are handled today, estimate what the missed ones are costing you, and show you exactly what your receptionist would say. If it isn't a fit, we'll tell you.
No pressure and no obligation. If it isn't a fit, we'll tell you.
We work out what your missed calls are costing you, using your own call volume and job values.
Exactly what your receptionist would say, what it would book, and what would reach you straight away.
What business owners ask us before they hand over the phone.
No. It uses some of the most natural-sounding voice AI available, and it greets callers with your business name. Watch the sample calls in the industry section above to hear a few of the voices and judge for yourself.
You decide. It can transfer the call to you or a team member, or take a detailed message and flag it for a callback.
It won't guess. It takes a message and logs the question, then we add the answer so next time it knows.
No. You keep your current business number and forward calls to your receptionist — all calls, only after hours, or only the ones your team doesn't pick up.
It connects to Google Calendar and checks your real availability before booking, so you don't get double-booked. Using different scheduling software? Ask us on the call.
You tell us what counts as urgent — a flooded basement, a pet that ate chocolate, a caller who was just in a serious accident. Those reach your phone right away. Everything else is booked or summarized for the morning.
Yes. Every call is recorded, transcribed and summarized: who called, what they needed, and whether it was booked.
Most businesses are live 4 days after the strategy call, and most of the work is on our side.
One flat monthly fee based on your call volume — usually less than a week of a receptionist's wages. You'll get an exact price on the call.
No. It's month to month, with no contract. Cancel anytime.
It runs on infrastructure that is ISO 27001 certified and complies with privacy laws including CCPA. It is not HIPAA compliant yet, so dental and medical practices should check their requirements first.
