The problem
Every missed call is a job going to your competitor
When you're on a ladder, under a sink or with a customer, the phone goes to voicemail, and most callers just dial the next business.
27%
of calls to home service businesses go unanswered.

of home service customers book with the first business that picks up.

FAQ
Questions owners ask us
Will callers know they're talking to AI?
The AI uses a natural, friendly voice and talks like a real receptionist. We can also have it say it's a virtual assistant if you prefer to be upfront.
Do I need a new phone number?
No. You keep your current number and forward calls to your AI receptionist, either all the time, after hours, or only when you don't pick up.
What happens with emergency calls?
You choose the rules. Urgent calls can be transferred to your cell, texted to you instantly or booked into the first open slot.
How long does setup take?
Most businesses are live within days. We do the setup and training for you, and you approve everything before it goes live.
Does it work with my calendar and software?
It works with common calendars like Google and Outlook, and we can connect it to many CRMs and job-management tools. Ask us about yours on the demo call.
What does it cost?
Plans start at $97/month with free setup and no long-term contract. Most small businesses fit Starter or Pro. If you go over your minutes, extra time is $0.25/minute. No surprise fees.
