Full transcript included in the emailThe problem
A missed call is often a missed customer.
Small businesses run on the phone, but you can't answer it while you're on a job, with a client, or asleep. Many callers won't leave a voicemail. They call the next business in their Google search.
You're busy when it rings
You're fixing a furnace, cutting hair, coaching a class, or icing a cake. The phone rings, and by the time you call back, they've moved on.
Calls don't stop at 5 PM
Tenants find leaks at night. Someone wants to order a birthday cake at 9 PM. New customers call on weekends. Voicemail piles up, and the messages that matter get buried.
The same questions, all day
What are your hours? Do you take walk-ins? Is there a trial class? Is the unit still available? Each answer only takes a minute, and those minutes add up.
What the receptionist does
A receptionist that knows your business and never misses a call.
Each receptionist is set up for one business: a gym, a bakery, a contractor, a salon, a clinic, or a rental office. It knows your hours, services, and prices, and asks callers the questions you need answered.
-
Answers day or night
Every call gets picked up in a natural, friendly voice, including evenings, weekends, and holidays.
-
Answers from your facts
It answers questions using only what you've told it. If it doesn't know, it takes a message instead of guessing.
-
Takes requests
Appointment and booking requests, custom orders, repair visits, rental showings, and messages, with the details you need to follow up.
-
Spots urgent calls
You decide what counts as urgent, like a burst pipe or a same-day order. During business hours it transfers those calls to a real person, and tries the next if the first doesn't answer.
-
Points emergencies to 911
For anything life-threatening, it tells the caller to hang up and call 911 right away.
-
Emails you every call
Who called, why, how to reach them, and how urgent it is, plus the full transcript, in your inbox.
-
Phone or email, their choice
Callers can leave a phone number or an email address, whichever works best for them.
-
Follows your rules
Tell it what it must never say or promise. For rentals, it follows Fair Housing rules and never asks about protected characteristics.
How it works
We do the setup. You get the calls covered.
You don't need to learn any new software. We handle the setup, the testing, and any changes later on.
We learn your business
We talk through your hours, services, prices, who should get urgent calls, and what to ask callers.
We set it up and test it
We build your receptionist from those details and call it ourselves until it sounds right.
You choose your number
Forward your existing number so customers keep dialing the same one, or get a new local number.
You get a summary of every call
Each call lands in your inbox. Need a change? Tell us and we'll update it.
Built for trust
Your customers should know what they're talking to.
-
It doesn't make things up
It only answers from the facts you give it. When a question goes beyond them, it takes a message so you can answer it yourself.
-
It says it's an AI
Every call starts by telling the caller they're speaking with an AI assistant and that the call may be recorded.
-
Careful with caller details
It asks only for what you need to follow up. Call details go to you. We never sell them or use them for advertising, and we delete our copies after 30 days. Privacy policy
-
A person for what matters
Urgent calls go to a real person on your team during business hours. Emergencies go to 911.
