The receptionist that answers every call
A natural-voice AI that picks up 24/7, books the job, and texts you the details — grounded only in what you teach it, so it never invents a price or a promise. Catch just the calls your crew misses, or run the whole front desk.
Build and test it free — no card until you go live.
See it answer a call, book the job, and text the details.
Teach it your business
Add your services, hours, pricing, and what you don’t do — or point it at your website and it drafts the rest. It only ever answers from this.
It answers your calls
A natural voice picks up 24/7 — as a backstop when your crew can’t get to the phone, or as the full front desk. Never a missed call again.
It books and texts you
It captures the name, address, and job, books the appointment, and sends every lead straight to you and the tools you already use.
It never makes things up
Anything it wasn’t taught, it takes a message for — no invented prices, no promises you can’t keep. Refusing to guess is the whole point.
More than an answering machine
Backstop or full front desk
Ring your crew first and let the AI catch only what they miss — so you pay for the overflow, not every call — or hand it the whole line.
Every lead, texted and logged
The moment a call ends you get the caller, the job, and a summary — in a text and in your dashboard, with the recording and transcript.
Into the tools you use
New leads, bookings, missed calls and call summaries flow to Zapier, Make, Slack, your CRM or any URL — no copy-paste.
Grounded, never guessing
It answers only from what you taught it and the documents you upload. Wrong information costs you a customer — so it refuses instead.
Voicemail, a hire, or an answering service?
The honest trade-offs against the other ways to handle a ringing phone. Voicemail is free; a great receptionist has judgment no software matches. Here's where an AI that answers every call — and refuses to guess — fits in.
