AI receptionist

Stop losing jobs to missed calls.

You cannot answer the phone halfway up a ladder or under a house. An AI receptionist picks up for you, answers the common questions, takes the job details and sends them straight to your phone.

Pricing

Priced to the job, quoted before you commit.

Every trade owner knows the feeling. You finish a job, check your phone and see four missed calls from numbers you do not know. By the time you ring back, two have already booked someone else. People with a burst pipe or a blown fuse ring the next name on the list. They do not wait.

An AI receptionist answers when you cannot. It tells callers it is an assistant for your business, answers simple questions like where you work and what you do, then takes their name, number, address and what the job is. You get it all by text or WhatsApp, ready to call back when you down tools.

What it does

What you get from an AI receptionist.

Answers when you are on the tools

It picks up calls you cannot take: on a roof, in a ceiling, driving between jobs or with your hands full of wet concrete. Callers get a friendly voice and a quick answer instead of voicemail they will probably skip.

Covers after hours too

Plenty of urgent calls come in at night or on weekends. The receptionist can answer then too, take the details and let the caller know when you will be in touch, so they are less likely to keep ringing around.

Handles the common questions

Do you cover my area? Do you do small jobs? Are you licensed? You decide the answers and I set them up. The receptionist only answers what you have approved and passes anything else straight to you.

Takes the job details you need

Name, phone number, address, what the job is and how urgent it is. You set the questions, so you get the information you would normally ask for in that first call, without being on the phone yourself.

Honest about what it is

It never pretends to be you. Callers hear that they are speaking with an assistant for your business, and they can ask for a callback any time. Being upfront builds trust, and nobody feels tricked when you ring them back.

Who it is for

Honest fit.

This suits trades who regularly miss calls because they are on the job, especially solo operators and small crews without office staff. It works well for emergency work like plumbing, electrical and heating. It is not a full booking system or a replacement for a real office manager. If your calls need careful pricing on the spot, you still want a person.

Questions

Straight answers.

Will callers know it is not me?

Yes, always. The receptionist tells callers it is an assistant answering for your business. It never pretends to be you or a member of your team. Most people are simply glad someone answered and that their details are going straight to the person who will do the job.

How do I get the job details?

After each call you get a short summary by text or WhatsApp: the caller's name, number, address, what the job is and how urgent it sounds. You can read it between jobs and decide who to call back first, without listening to a single voicemail.

What happens if a caller asks something it cannot answer?

It does not guess. If a question falls outside the answers you have approved, like a price for a specific job, the receptionist tells the caller you will ring back to discuss it, and flags the question in your summary so you know what they wanted.

Can I use my existing phone number?

In most cases, yes. Calls can forward to the receptionist when you do not pick up, when you are busy, or after hours, so customers keep calling the number they already know. I will check how your phone provider handles it before I quote you anything.
