When Your Phone Rings.

The AI Smart Receptionist handles your calls end-to-end. Here's exactly what happens from the moment a customer dials your number to the moment the job is booked, the confirmation is sent, and the reminder goes out — all without you picking up.

The Call Flow

What Happens on Every Call

Five steps — every single call, every single time. From the first ring to a confirmed booking in your calendar.

1
The Answer

Customer Calls Your Existing Number

Nothing changes for your customer. They call the same number they always have. The AI answers within 2 rings with a warm, professional greeting using your actual business name — "Thank you for calling [Your Company] — how can I help you today?" It sounds exactly like a trained front desk employee.

  • Your existing number — no new numbers, no hardware changes
  • Calls forwarded via Twilio — setup takes minutes, invisible to callers
  • Answers on evenings, weekends, stat holidays — no exceptions
  • Handles unlimited simultaneous calls — no busy signals during peak periods

Intent Detection

Emergency or Routine — Detected Instantly

The AI listens to the caller's words and tone in real time. It's trained on industry-specific urgency language — "burst pipe," "no heat," "car won't start," "overheating," "flooding" — and immediately classifies the call as either an emergency requiring fast action or a routine service inquiry going through the standard booking flow.

  • Emergency detected: immediate escalation, on-call tech paged via SMS
  • Routine call: smooth booking flow — no urgency, no pressure
  • Industry-specific keywords pre-trained for your trade
  • No phone tree, no hold music — just a natural conversation

  • Reads your live calendar — only offers genuinely available slots
  • Writes the booking in real time — visible to your team instantly
  • Works with Google Calendar, Outlook, Jobber, Housecall Pro, Jane App, and more

Common Questions

How It Works — FAQs

No. We set up call forwarding through Twilio — your customers keep calling the same number they always have. The change is completely invisible to them. Your existing carrier and plan stays the same.
Natural and professional — not robotic. It uses conversational AI, not a phone menu. Callers speak naturally and it responds the same way. Most callers assume they're speaking with a real person. We configure the greeting, tone, and terminology to match your business.
At any point, callers can say "speak to someone" or press a designated key and the call is immediately and gracefully transferred to your phone. The caller never feels dismissed — the AI handles the handoff smoothly.
The AI is trained on urgency language specific to your industry — words and phrases that signal a genuine emergency. When detected, it switches to emergency mode: captures the full address and situation, books a priority slot, and sends your on-call contact an SMS page within 30 seconds. You configure who gets paged and when during setup.
We connect to your calendar (Google, Outlook, or your scheduling software) during setup using a standard OAuth integration. The AI reads your real-time availability and writes bookings directly — no manual entry, no sync delays. It only offers slots that are genuinely available.
Yes. We configure intake scripts for every service type you offer. If you're a plumbing and HVAC company, for example, the AI identifies which trade the caller needs and follows the correct flow — separate scripts, separate on-call contacts, separate calendar routing if needed.
Most businesses are live within 24 hours. The process: you complete our onboarding form (~20 minutes), we build your custom script and connect your calendar and number (we handle all of this), then we test and hand over. You get a walkthrough and you're live — usually the same day or the next morning.
