Answers as your business
Your company name, your hours, your rules. Not a generic greeting, and it never invents a price you did not give it.
Most AI receptionists are a rented front desk: a generic script, a menu, a message taken. This one is your own assistant on your own number. You brief it once in plain words — your hours, your prices, what to promise and what to never promise — and it answers every call that way.
A business line answered by a bot that screens the caller, reads from a script, and drops a message in your inbox. It never calls anyone back, and it only knows what a setup form asked for.
A number that belongs to your assistant. It answers, runs a real intake, quotes from the price list you gave it, and writes the call up. It also calls out: the supplier, the customer who left a message, the person who needs a time confirmed.
Your company name, your hours, your rules. Not a generic greeting, and it never invents a price you did not give it.
Who called, what they need, the address, the amounts, the dates, the deadline, and what should happen next. Not just a name and number.
A short account with the outcome, the details, and the full transcript, in your inbox and your assistant's chat a moment after the call ends.
The part a receptionist product usually cannot do. Ask it to chase the quote, confirm the appointment, or tell the customer the part arrived.
Approved customers get a warm welcome. People you mark VIP are treated as urgent. Blocked numbers get a short, polite wall.
Forward your mobile when you are busy or on a job, and callers reach your assistant instead of voicemail.
Hi, do you do same-day water heater replacement?
We can usually get out same day if you call before noon. Is it leaking now, or just not heating?
Leaking. It's a fifty gallon, in the garage.
Got it. A fifty gallon swap runs four thousand eight hundred and fifty installed, with the permit and haul-away. Can I take your address and a number to confirm the window?
Outcome: quote given, address taken, callback window 2–4pm. The owner gets the write-up on their phone before the next job, with the price the line quoted and the caller's number.
An answering service takes a message. This runs the whole intake, quotes from your price list, calls people back, and writes each call up. There is no per-call fee and no minimum.
You get a new number in your area code, and you forward your existing line to it, so customers keep calling the number they know.
It says so, takes the details, and hands it to you. It never guesses at a price or a promise.
About a minute to get the number, then a few sentences of briefing. You can add to the briefing any time, and it applies to the next call.
