The problem

A missed call isn't a missed call. It's a job your competitor booked.

Nobody leaves a voicemail anymore. They hang up and dial the next result. Here's where it happens.

01

The call goes to voicemail.

Most people calling a service business will not leave a message. They hang up and dial the next result on Google. Your ad spend paid for that call; your competitor closed it.

02

The call comes in while you're working.

You're on a roof, in a chair, or in a deposition. The phone rings anyway. Every hour you spend answering it is an hour you're not billing for.

03

The call comes in at 9pm on a Saturday.

Emergency plumbing, a toothache, an accident. These are your highest-intent, highest-value callers β€” and they reach a recording.

What it does

Everything a great front desk does β€” on every call, at every hour.

This isn't a phone tree or a message-taking robot. It holds a real conversation and finishes the job.

Answers every call in under a second

No hold music, no busy signal. The line handles dozens of simultaneous callers, so a rush hour never sends anyone to voicemail.

Sounds like a person, not a phone tree

Studio-grade voice with natural turn-taking β€” it knows when you've finished a sentence, handles interruptions, and doesn't talk over you.

Books straight into your calendar

Native connections to Google Calendar, Cal.com and Calendly. It reads your real availability, offers open slots, and writes the appointment while the caller is still on the line.

Knows your business cold

We load your services, pricing, hours, service area, brands you carry, insurances you accept and your top 50 questions. It answers from your documents, not from guesswork.

Transfers to you when it matters

You set the rules β€” emergency keywords, jobs over a dollar threshold, an existing customer. It warm-transfers to your cell or the on-call tech and briefs them before handing over.

Qualifies and captures the lead

Name, number, address, job type, urgency, budget β€” collected as structured fields and pushed into your CRM, spreadsheet or inbox the moment the call ends.

Texts the caller before they hang up

Booking confirmation, your address, a payment link, a review request. The follow-up goes out automatically instead of three days later.

Handles Spanish without being asked

It detects the caller's language and switches mid-conversation, in the same voice. No second number, no second script.

Calls people back

Outbound campaigns for missed-call recovery, appointment reminders, no-show follow-up, review requests and dormant-customer reactivation.

Answers WhatsApp and web chat too

The same agent, the same knowledge, on your website widget and WhatsApp β€” so a lead gets the same answer wherever it starts.

Every call recorded, transcribed, summarized

A searchable dashboard with full transcripts, audio, and a one-paragraph summary of each call. You see exactly what was said and what was promised.

Connects to the tools you already run

HubSpot, Salesforce, Slack, Zendesk, Freshdesk, ServiceNow, Jira β€” plus custom actions via webhook for anything else you use.

How it works

One conversation with us. Five days later your phone is covered.

01

Discovery call β€” 30 minutes

We record how you actually answer the phone: what you say, what you ask, what you refuse, when you escalate, what a good lead looks like. This is the whole build in one conversation.

02

We build and train it β€” 5 business days

Voice selection, script, knowledge base, calendar connection, CRM handoff, escalation rules, and your dedicated business line. Then we run it against 30+ real call scenarios.

03

You listen, we tune

You get a demo line and call it as many times as you like. Anything that sounds off, we fix before it ever touches a customer.

04

Go live β€” forward your line

Forward all calls, after-hours only, or overflow when you don't pick up in four rings. Your existing number stays exactly as it is. Reversible in 60 seconds.

Built for your industry

Configured for how your phone actually rings.

The script, the escalation rules and the questions it asks are different for a plumber, a dental office and a personal injury firm. We build for yours.

Home Services

HVAC Β· Plumbing Β· Roofing Β· Electrical Β· Garage Doors

Your highest-value calls arrive at the worst possible times β€” 6am, 9pm, mid-storm β€” and they go to whoever answers first.

One recovered $450 service call covers the monthly. One recovered system replacement covers the year.

  • Triages emergency vs. routine and escalates emergencies to the on-call tech
  • Captures address, job type and access details before dispatch
  • Books estimate windows against the crew calendar
  • Quotes your service-call fee and confirms the service area by ZIP
  • Screens out sales calls and warranty spam

Dental, Med Spa & Chiropractic

General & cosmetic dentistry Β· Aesthetics Β· Chiropractic

Front desk is with a patient, on another line, or gone at 5pm. New-patient calls are the ones that get missed β€” and they're the only ones worth thousands.

New patients are worth four figures in lifetime value. Capturing two extra per month is not a close call.

  • Books new-patient consults directly into the practice calendar
  • Answers insurance-accepted, financing and first-visit questions
  • Runs reminder and reactivation call campaigns to cut no-shows
  • Routes clinical questions to staff and never gives medical advice
  • Handles Spanish-speaking patients in the same voice

Law Firms

Personal injury Β· Family Β· Immigration Β· Criminal defense

Intake is the entire business. A prospective client who reaches voicemail has already dialed the next firm on the page β€” and firms pay hundreds per click to make that phone ring.

At what firms pay per lead, missing one qualified intake a month costs more than a year of this service.

  • Runs your intake script and collects the facts of the matter
  • Screens for practice area, jurisdiction and statute-of-limitation urgency
  • Runs a conflicts pre-check against your list before booking
  • Books consults and transfers qualified callers straight to the attorney
  • Delivers a written summary of every intake to your case system

Questions

What business owners ask us.

Will callers know it's an AI?

Some will, some won't. We recommend it introduces itself honestly β€” most callers are fine with it once they realize someone actually picked up. What they notice is that the line was answered, their question was handled, and they got an appointment.

Do I have to change my phone number?

No. You keep the number you've advertised for years. We give you a new line and you point your existing number at it β€” all calls, after-hours only, or just the ones you don't pick up within four rings. It reverses in about a minute.

What happens when it doesn't know the answer?

It says so, takes a message, and either transfers to you or schedules a callback. It's built not to invent answers. Anything it gets asked repeatedly and can't handle gets added to its knowledge base at the next tuning session.

Can it transfer a caller to me?

Yes, on rules you set β€” emergency language, a specific service, an existing customer, a job over a dollar threshold. It rings your cell and tells you who's holding and what they want before it connects you.

How long until it's live?

Five business days from the discovery call in most cases. You get a demo line to test before a single real customer reaches it.

What if the calls sound wrong?

You listen to the demo line before launch and we tune it until you're happy β€” that's included in the setup. After launch, every plan includes tuning sessions, and we review real transcripts to catch anything the test scenarios missed.

What counts as a minute?

Conversation time only, from when the agent starts speaking to when the call ends. Ringing, hang-ups and dead air after the call are not billed. Most calls run two to three minutes.

What happens if I go over my minutes?

Nothing breaks β€” the line keeps answering. Overage is billed at your tier's per-minute rate on the next invoice, and if you're consistently over we'll move you to the tier that costs you less.

Is it recording my calls? Is that legal?

Calls are recorded and transcribed so you can review them. In states requiring all-party consent, the agent gives a recording notice at the start of the call. We configure this to match where you operate.

What about patient or client confidentiality?

For medical and dental practices we configure the agent to handle scheduling and general questions only, and keep protected health information out of the conversation. If you need a full HIPAA-covered deployment, tell us on the discovery call β€” it changes the setup, and we'll price it accordingly.

Can it handle more than one call at a time?

Yes. Dozens simultaneously. A rush after a storm or an ad going live doesn't put anyone on hold.

Am I locked into a contract?

Ninety days, then month to month. The setup fee covers a real build, so we ask for a fair window to prove it works β€” after that, stay because it's making you money.

Hear it answer your phone
before you decide anything.

Fifteen minutes on a call. We'll build you a demo agent trained on your actual business and you can ring it as many times as you like.
