AI receptionist for small businesses

An AI receptionist for small businesses and local service companies

In a small business, the owner is often the receptionist, the salesperson and the technician at the same time. Emily takes the phone off your plate: she answers every call, books appointments, captures leads and sends you a summary, for less than a part-time hire.

What Emily does for small businesses

  • Answers every call 24/7 with your business name and greeting.
  • Books appointments and consultations into your calendar.
  • Answers your most common questions with approved answers.
  • Qualifies new leads and logs them to your CRM or inbox.

The phone problem for small businesses

Every unanswered call is a customer deciding whether to wait for a callback or call someone else. Most call someone else. An AI receptionist removes that moment entirely.

What an AI receptionist handles for small businesses

Example call

Here's how a typical call sounds. Every conversation follows your services, pricing and rules.

CallerHi, are you open on Saturdays?

EmilyYes, we're open Saturdays from 9 AM to 2 PM. Were you hoping to come in this weekend?

CallerYes, if possible.

EmilyI have 10:30 or 12:00 this Saturday. Which would you like?

You stop choosing between answering the phone and doing the work, and every call ends with a summary in your inbox or CRM.

How it works for your business

  1. Strategy call: we map your call types, services, booking rules and escalation rules.
  2. Build and training: we train Emily on your business and connect Google Calendar, Cal.com, Calendly, GoHighLevel, HubSpot and Close.
  3. Testing: you test real scenarios and approve before launch.
  4. Launch: calls forward from your existing number full-time, after hours or as overflow, and we keep tuning.
