Right now every ring is a choice: climb down, or lose the call. Neither is a good option, and you make it twenty times a day. Here’s what it looks like when you don’t have to.
A homeowner calls while you’re framing. She takes their name, number and what they want in their words. You read it at lunch and call back. Nothing lost, no ladder climbed.
A 7pm call gets a real answer instead of voicemail. She says you’ll call tomorrow, takes the details, and texts you. The caller never dials the next name on the list.
Your line isn’t only customers. She tells the drywall sub from the city inspector from a grocery list, and handles each the way you told her to — without pitching any of them.
Most AI receptionists are a form with a voice. This one interviews you like a new hire on day one — and keeps learning every time you talk to her.
Ten minutes on the phone. Who callers ask for by name. What your services are called — and what customers call them. What never to promise. Whether you book or call back. When something’s thin, she asks again until she could explain it to a caller herself.
Your line gets customers, your drywall sub about Thursday, the city inspector, the lumber yard, the mechanic about your truck. She handles each the way you told her to — and never pitches your spouse.
Notice something off? Call your own line. She knows it’s you. “When the inspector calls, give him my cell.” She reads it back, you say yes, and the next inspector gets your cell. There’s a settings screen too, showing exactly what she knows.
Record yourself once, in your browser, reading a 90-second script written for your trade. A minute later your greeting plays back in your own voice, and every call from then on sounds like the person whose name is on the truck. Prefer not to? Pick from a shelf of natural voices instead, and switch any time.
No new phone system. No app. Three steps, and the middle one is a phone call.
A local number in your area code, live in minutes. Publish it, or keep your existing number and forward it to her when you don’t pick up — three codes dialed from your phone.
She calls you and interviews you about the business. Hang up, and what she learned appears on your screen — a summary in plain words, the things she wasn’t sure about, and every field, editable.
Have someone call your line and don’t answer. Listen to her take the message. Read the text she sends you. Then go back to work.
Front Desk is part of Sales & Marketing, which is free to join. Her calls use tokens, the one prepaid balance for everything you run: 35 tokens (35¢) for each minute she’s on the phone with your callers. Setting her up, changing her, and calling her for your messages are always free. Works with any website, or none.
No. Most owners keep their existing number and forward it to her only when they don’t answer — your phone rings first, every time, and she catches what you miss. It’s three short codes dialed from your phone; we walk you through them for your carrier. You can publish the new number instead if you’d rather keep the two separate.
She takes the booking request — what they need, when works for them, the details you told her to collect — and tells the caller you’ll confirm the time. She never states a time as confirmed on your behalf, because a receptionist who double-books you is worse than one who takes a message. Calendar-connected booking is coming; you’ll be able to turn it on per account.
She says so, takes the question and a callback number, and texts it to you. She never invents a price, a date, or a policy. Everything she’s allowed to say came from you — and you can see all of it, word for word, in your workspace.
Yes — she says so in the greeting, every call, whether or not your state requires it. Several already do for commercial bots, and more are coming. It also just works better: a caller who knows they’re talking to an assistant gets to the point, instead of spending the first twenty seconds wondering.
In your workspace, you read a 90-second script into your browser’s microphone — your greeting, the lines she says most, and your trade’s vocabulary in sentences. You tick a box confirming it’s your voice. About twenty seconds later your greeting plays back in the clone. Keep it or record again. We only ever clone a recording you make yourself on our page; you can delete it any time and go back to a stock voice. Voice cloning is in beta — ask us to turn it on.
She gets a warm “Hi, you’ve reached Eric’s phone — I’m his AI assistant,” a message taken exactly as she said it, and no business talk. You told the receptionist in the interview how to treat personal calls, and that’s what she does. Same for your subs, your suppliers, the inspector, and the mechanic.
Most trade-contractor answering services run $400–$800/mo for 60–90 minutes of answer time and per-minute overage on top. Front Desk is part of Sales & Marketing, free to join, and her calls use tokens, 35¢ a minute. A busy month with 300 minutes of calls is 10,500 tokens, $105. And she knows your business, because she learned it from you.
There’s no plan to cancel. Turn auto-refill off any time from your workspace and nothing more is charged. Turn forwarding off with one code and your line is exactly as it was. Your transcripts stay in your workspace until you close the account. Any voice recording is deleted when you ask.
