What happens when I miss a call?

The caller gets a text right away instead of dead air. They can keep the conversation going by text and book a time from there.

Does it sound like a robot? Will people know it's AI?

It answers in plain conversation, not a phone menu. It's trained on your services and offers, your pricing, your FAQs, and every page of your website, so it answers the way someone who works there would. It also knows who's available and what's open on your calendar, so the times it offers are real. If a caller asks, it tells them it's an AI assistant. Calls are recorded.

Yes. Month to month, both plans. No contract to get out of.

Answers the phone while you work

An AI Receptionist for Busy Businesses in Columbus, Ohio

Behind the counter, in a meeting, with a customer, across town. The phone rings when you can’t get to it, and that’s most days. An AI receptionist picks it up for you, asks what you’d ask, and puts the appointment on your calendar. The ones you still miss get a text back before the caller tries someone else. You keep working.

How it answers

It picks up the phone

An AI voice agent answers the call and talks it through like a person would — what they need, where they are, when you can get to them. It's trained on your services, your pricing, your website, and your calendar, so it answers questions the way you would and books into times that are actually open. If the caller asks whether they're talking to a machine, it says so. Calls are recorded.

It texts back the calls you miss

A missed call gets an instant text instead of silence. The caller can answer right there by text, which most people would rather do anyway.

It books the appointment

Voice or text, the end of the conversation is the same: a qualified lead and a time on your calendar. No phone tag, no calling back after dinner.

It runs 24 hours a day. Nights, weekends, and the middle of everything else.

What it costs

Two plans. Both month to month.

Core

$199/mo

Never miss a lead. Missed-call text-back, the AI voice agent, and the SMS booking agent. Every one of them qualifies the lead and books the appointment. Text and voice usage is included within fair-use limits.

Growth

$299/mo

Everything in Core, plus a hosted website, directory listings, automated Google and Facebook review requests, CRM and pipelines, web chat, and follow-up sequences.

Who it’s for

If you spend the day with your hands in something, the phone is working against you. That’s true of most small businesses.

The ones who feel it worst:

Plumbers
Roofers
HVAC techs
Painters
Lawn care crews
Handymen

It does the same for a shop, a clinic, a salon, a restaurant, a studio, an office, or a business of any other kind. If your day keeps you off the phone, something should be answering it.
