How it works

Try it on your own business before you pay a cent

1

We build your demo

We train an AI receptionist on your website and Google Business Profile: your services, hours, service area and reviews.

2

You call it

Ask it about a clogged drain or a leaking water heater and try to book a job. Hear exactly what your customers would hear.

3

Go live in about a week

We connect your phone line, calendar, website chat and Facebook. You decide when the AI picks up: after 3 rings, after hours, or always.

One AI front desk for every way customers reach you

Voice AI receptionist

A chat bubble on your site that answers questions and books jobs, plus replies to texts, Facebook, Instagram and Google messages.

Emergencies go to you

Active leaks, no water or sewage backups are transferred straight to your cell, day or night.

Questions plumbers ask

Will my customers know it's AI?

It introduces itself as your assistant and says it's an AI if asked. Most callers just want a fast answer and a time slot, and they get both.

Do I have to change my phone number?

No. Your calls forward to the AI only when you don't pick up (for example after 3 rings or after hours). You keep your number.

What if it gets something wrong?

It only answers from the information you approve, and you get a text summary and transcript of every call. We review calls monthly and fix anything that's off.

I already have a website. Do I need the add-on?

No. We add the AI chat bubble to your existing site with one line of code. The website add-on is only for shops without one.

Is there a contract?

No. It's month-to-month with 30 days' notice to cancel, and there's no setup fee.
