An AI receptionist that answers every call, books real appointments, and texts you the summary — for less than a third of what an answering service costs, and it comes with the entire OutfitterAI agent platform.
Built on the same voice tech behind Murphy HVAC, RE-Dwell, and KJB Homes.
Sometimes they get voicemail. Sometimes they call your competitor next. Every missed call is a job that didn't happen and a Google review you'll never see.
Trained on trade-contractor intake. Wired to your calendar. Connected to your CRM. Speaks naturally — not robotically.
No new phone system. No app to download. We give you a phone number; you publish it or forward your existing line.

AI Receptionist isn’t a separate subscription — it’s a feature of the OutfitterAI platform. Pick the seat tier that fits your team; receptionist calls just consume agent actions from your monthly bundle.

The same $99/mo Solo plan that gets your receptionist live also unlocks the full agent team — Marketing, Revenue, Operations, Accounting, HR, Executive — plus 1,300+ plays and every integration. Most customers discover that after a week of just answering the phone. When a returning caller asks about an invoice, your receptionist already knows the answer because the same data powers your Accounting Agent.
See the full platformThe receptionist captures the question, books a callback at a time you specify (or transfers immediately for emergencies), and texts you the full context so you can call back armed with the details. It never makes up an answer — if it doesn’t know, it says so and routes to a human.
Yes. Pick from a library of natural-sounding voices — male/female, accent, age range. Premium tier customers can clone the owner’s voice for a $499 one-time fee (so the receptionist sounds like you, even when you’re on the truck).
You set the rules. For emergencies (no heat in January, water leak), the receptionist transfers the call straight to your cell. For everything else, it captures the message and texts you within 30 seconds so you can call back on your timing.
Most trade-contractor answering services run $400–$800/mo for 60–90 minutes of answer time and per-minute overage. The OutfitterAI Solo plan is $99/mo and covers the receptionist plus the entire agent platform — 24/7 answering, appointment booking, CRM integration, and six more agents working alongside your receptionist. Heavier call volume just uses more agent actions from your monthly bundle, and you can top up actions or jump to Crew ($199/mo) or Company ($649/mo) for more seats and a bigger bundle.
Per our charter and applicable state law, the receptionist discloses it’s an AI when asked directly (and in CA/CO/MD/CT, automatically). In practice 95% of customers don’t ask — the voice sounds natural enough that they just want their appointment booked. Owners who’ve run it for 60+ days report zero complaints about the disclosure.
Yes — we offer free porting after 30 days on the platform (so you can test risk-free first). $50/mo permanent add-on if you want both your existing number and the new one routed through the receptionist. Most customers start by publishing the new number alongside, then port over once they trust the system.
Out of the box: Google Calendar, Outlook, Jobber, QuickBooks, Twilio, Gmail. ServiceTitan and Housecall Pro coming Q3 2026 (partner approvals pending). Don’t see your tool? Tell us during onboarding — we add ~2 new integrations per month based on customer demand.
Month-to-month, cancel anytime. We’ll forward your number to wherever you want for 30 days post-cancel so no calls drop while you transition. We’ll also export every transcript and recording from your dashboard.
