Yes. We don't change your number. We set up forwarding so when your line rings and nobody picks up, it routes to the system. Your customers keep calling the same number they always have.

Your choice, and most owners pick missed calls only. Your phone rings normally, you pick up when you can, and the system steps in when nobody answers. You're not handing your customers to a machine — you're catching the ones you were going to lose anyway.

It screens for real emergencies first — gas smell, carbon monoxide, active flooding, no heat in freezing weather with vulnerable people in the house. Those escalate to your on-call tech immediately with the caller's information already collected. Everything else books as a next-morning appointment.

When it's built right, most callers don't notice. The voice is natural and the answers are specific to your business — your service area, your hours, the brands you work on. When these get built badly, with generic scripts and wrong answers to basic questions, people notice immediately. That's why we build each one from scratch instead of dropping in a template.

Yes. Before deployment we build a knowledge base for your specific trade — your services, service area, typical job types, pricing approach, and booking process. Whether you're HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, or general contracting — the AI is configured for your business specifically.

It doesn't diagnose equipment or quote repairs — that's your technician's job. It won't handle every unusual call perfectly; anything strange gets flagged instead of guessed at. And it won't fix a marketing problem. If your phone isn't ringing at all, this isn't your issue and we'll tell you that on the call.

Answering services take messages. This books the appointment directly on your calendar, knows your service area and your equipment brands, and escalates real emergencies to your on-call tech. Different job.

Yes, because we build it around your business. It knows your service area, the brands you service, your hours, your dispatch rules, and how you want different situations handled.

You get a recording and full notes on every call. If something needs your attention, you call back with all the context already in front of you. And anything the system can't handle confidently gets flagged for a human callback rather than guessed at.

Three tiers. Starter is $297/month for answering and booking. Professional is $497/month and adds voice cloning and lead follow-up. Growth is $697/month and adds reputation management and reporting. There's a one-time setup fee between $997 and $1,997 depending on the tier, which covers building the whole thing.

No annual lock-in. Month to month after setup. If you want to scale back, most owners move down a tier rather than leaving entirely.

Monthly report showing calls answered, leads captured, and appointments booked — plus you can pull up any call recording any time. The number that matters shows up on your calendar.

You'll hear it. Every call is recorded and you review them the first week. We adjust the prompts based on what you find, and that's part of deployment, not an extra charge.
