What an AI receptionist does
An AI receptionist answers every call, text and chat the second it comes in. It qualifies the caller and books the next step on your calendar: a consult call, an estimate or the job itself, quoted from your price book when you sell that way. Then it follows up on the ones who go quiet. One system on every channel, working while you're busy, after hours and on weekends.

Instagram DM
One AI on every channel. One memory of every customer.
Calls, texts, web chat and forms, plus Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, WhatsApp and Google. In English or Spanish, with one memory across all of it.
It reads the photo they send
A shot of the pile in the yard or the busted water heater gets matched to your prices.
It remembers across every channel
They text at lunch, DM at nine and call the next day. It already knows the job.
Every follow-up is written for them
A lead goes quiet? It follows up for weeks, and every message is written for that one lead.
It screens spam and books the real ones
Real jobs land on your calendar with the name, number, address and details.
It books the next step by your rules.
Some businesses sell on a call. Some price from a book. Some need eyes on site. Your AI works the way you sell, so every lead gets a real answer fast.

How it compares
Three ways owners cover the phone today, and what each one leaves on the table.
An answering service
- Billed by the minute or by the call
- A person takes a message for you
- Booking, follow-up and chat often cost extra
An in-house receptionist
- A salary, plus payroll taxes and time off
- One call at a time, during business hours
- Texts and DMs wait until there's a minute
A DIY AI tool
- You set it up and write its script
- Minutes metered, texting and follow-up often add-ons
- Nobody tunes it to how you sell

How it runsCommon questions
What is an AI receptionist?
An AI receptionist answers your business calls, texts and chats for you, around the clock. It qualifies the caller, books the next step on your calendar and follows up, so real leads stop landing in voicemail while you're busy.
Does it actually book or just take a message?
It books, the way you sell. Sell on a call? It qualifies the lead and books the consult. Price from a book? It quotes the work and books it. Price on site? It books the estimate. Either way it offers your real openings, puts the appointment on your calendar and hands you the details.
What happens after hours and on weekends?
It answers every time, around the clock. 62% of our clients' leads first reach out after hours or on a weekend. The AI books them while you're off the clock, so they're on your calendar by morning.
How is this different from a cheap AI chatbot or an answering service?
It does the whole job. A typical bot guesses and an answering service takes a message. Ours answers from facts you approved, books on your real calendar, screens spam and remembers each lead across channels.
How fast does it answer?
Two rings on the phone. By text, chat or DM, the median first reply across our clients is 7 seconds. The business that answers first usually wins the sale.
How long does it take to go live?
A week. We build it on your offer, your prices and your calendar, test it and turn it on.
How much does an AI receptionist cost?
Our plans are $497, $997 and $1,497 a month with no setup fee and no contract, and every plan includes a free website. A free Missed Revenue Audit puts a dollar figure on the leads you miss today, so you can weigh it against the cost of never missing one.
