No heat, 9pm, January
That caller is not leaving a voicemail and waiting until Tuesday. They are dialling the next three numbers on Google until somebody answers. That job was worth anywhere from three hundred dollars to a full system.
AI Voice Receptionist
Your Phone Gets Answered. Even at Nine at Night.
A missed call is a missed job. This answers your business line when you are under a house, on a roof, or asleep. It screens the robocalls, takes the name, address and what is actually wrong, and puts the urgent ones straight through to your cell.
Why It Matters
The Call You Miss Goes to Whoever Picks Up
You are already busy
You cannot answer the phone with your hands inside a condenser, and the office is closed at six. The receptionist does not need a lunch break, does not call in sick, and does not mind the fourth call about the same thermostat.
Half your calls are junk
Extended warranties, solar, SEO cold calls. If the receptionist answers first, you never hear them. Only real customers reach your phone, which is the part owners tell us they notice in week one.
How It Works
Set Up Once, in About Ten Minutes
Tell us your hours and your rules
When you are open, what you do, where you work, and what counts as an emergency worth waking you for. Plain English, in your words.
Point your number at it
Forward your existing line and nothing else changes: same number on your truck, same carrier, and you can switch the forwarding off whenever you want.
It answers, you get the text
Name, number, address and the actual problem, in your pocket before the caller has put their phone down. Urgent ones ring you directly instead.
Your Choice
Should It Answer First, or Should You?
Both work. They are not equivalent, and we would rather tell you that here than have you find out later.
It answers first
- Every call gets picked up on the second ring
- Robocalls are screened out before your phone rings
- Real customers get transferred straight to you
- You stop hearing the junk entirely
Your phone rings first
- You get first crack at every call, as you do now
- The receptionist picks up only what you miss
- Nothing changes about how you work
- No spam screening. The robocall has already rung your phone before the receptionist is involved, so there is nothing left for it to filter.

$145/month
- Hosting, security patching and unlimited content updates
- The automated review system included at no extra cost

300 talk minutes a month are included, which covers most shops.

You get an email at 80% and again when you pass the allowance, so a bill never surprises you.
Straight Answers
What It Is, and What It Is Not
What it is
- A receptionist that answers from your notes, not from guesswork
- Honest about being an assistant if a caller asks
- A way to capture the calls you are currently losing
- Yours to switch off at any time, with no contract
What it is not
- Not pretending to be a person, and it will not claim to be one
- Not a replacement for your office manager during the day
- Not quoting prices or committing to arrival times unless you tell it to
- Not included in any plan, at any price, because every call costs real money to answer
Questions
Things Owners Ask Before They Buy
How much does the AI receptionist cost?
$97/month, month-to-month, cancel anytime. That includes 300 minutes of talk time a month, which covers most shops. Past that it is 25 cents a minute and it keeps answering: we do not cut your phone off mid-season.
Is it included in the Full Plan?
No, and that is deliberate. Everything else in the plan costs us the same whether you use it or not, so we can bundle it. Every call the receptionist answers has a real cost attached, so it is a separate add-on. You can have it with a plan, with just hosting, or on its own with no website from us at all.
Do I need a website from you to use it?
No. It answers your phone, so it works whether your website came from us, from someone else, or does not exist. If you later want a site, the receptionist carries over unchanged. A full website plan is $145/month on top.
Can it just cover after hours?
Yes, and that is what most shops start with. You tell us your hours and it only answers outside them, including weekends. Plenty of owners move it to all day once they hear the first few calls back.
Will it stop the robocalls?
If it answers first, yes: it screens the call before your phone ever rings, and that is included at no extra charge. If you choose to have your own phone ring first and the receptionist only pick up what you miss, then the robocall has already reached you before it gets involved, so there is nothing for it to screen. Both setups are available; only the first one can filter spam.
Does it put real customers through to me?
Yes. You tell it what counts as urgent, in your words, and it transfers those straight to your cell with no phone tree. If you do not pick up, it goes back to the caller and takes the details rather than dumping them in voicemail.
What happens on a no-heat call at 9pm?
Whatever you tell it to do. Most shops have it transfer those immediately, whatever the hour, because a no-heat call in January is the most valuable call of the week. If you would rather it take the details and text you, it will do that instead.
Does it sound like a robot?
It sounds like a calm receptionist reading from your notes. It is not pretending to be a person and it will say it is an assistant if asked. What callers actually notice is that somebody picked up on the second ring at nine at night.
Are calls recorded?
By default yes, because the recording is what gives you the summary and the transcript in your portal. Callers are told at the start of the call, which is what keeps you right in states that require it. You can switch recording off and keep everything else.
What if it cannot answer a question?
It takes the details and hands the call to you rather than guessing. You can add the questions you get asked constantly in your portal any time, and each one you add is a call it can finish without you.
Can I keep my current phone number?
Yes. The simplest setup is forwarding: you keep your number and your carrier, and you can turn the forwarding off whenever you want. We can also move the number over to us completely if you prefer, which takes about two weeks.
How do I know what it actually did?
Every call shows up in your portal with a summary, who called, how long it took and whether it put them through, plus the full transcript if recording is on. You also get a summary emailed to you as each call ends.
