The math on missed calls

Every call you miss is a job your competitor books

Your techs are on job sites. Your office closes at five. But your customers' pipes burst at midnight and their AC dies on Saturday. When nobody picks up, fewer than 3% of callers leave a voicemail. The rest hang up without leaving one.

How it works

Your calls, answered — without hiring anyone

  1. 1

    Your phone rings

    Day, night, weekend, holiday — every call gets answered in seconds.

  2. 2

    The job lands on your calendar

    The receptionist qualifies the caller and places the job on your calendar for you to confirm.

  3. 3

    You stay in control

    Warm leads reach your inbox the moment the call ends; urgent jobs like a burst pipe or no heat are put straight through to your on-call tech.

Solutions

Voice, chat, or both — your customers just get answered

Voice Receptionist

An AI that answers your phone 24/7, qualifies the caller, and tees the job up for your team to confirm.

Best for: Shops that live and die by the phone — most service businesses.

Chat Receptionist

A website chat agent that captures leads and answers questions instantly, day or night.

Both — Voice + Chat

Voice and chat working together so no lead slips through — on the phone or on your site.

Why shops trust it

An AI receptionist your customers won't hate

No phone trees, no pretending, no black box. Here's the deal we make with every shop we set up.

A real human gets every warm lead

The AI answers, qualifies, and lines up the job. Every lead reaches your inbox the moment the call ends, with what the caller said attached, not a cold voicemail — and your team calls back already knowing the situation.

Emergencies get escalated, not scheduled

Gas smell, burst pipe, no heat in January — the receptionist recognizes an emergency. A burst pipe or no heat is put straight through to your on-call number; a gas smell or sparking gets the 911 or utility instruction first, then an offer to connect. Either way, what the caller said reaches your inbox the moment the call ends.

It never pretends to be human

Callers are told they're talking to your automated receptionist. No tricks — that honesty is why customers trust it, and it's the law in a growing number of states.

Jobs land on your calendar

Qualified jobs go onto your Google Calendar as holds your team confirms — where your crew already looks, not in a separate inbox you have to check.
