Built for home and local service businesses in the Temecula Valley
See your front desk answer as Your Company.
Type your business name below. Every call, alert and report on this page updates to show exactly what you would get: the receptionist takes the job request, and you decide the time. It never books on its own. It works for home and local service businesses, from plumbing and HVAC to mobile detailing, landscaping, pool service and house cleaning.
Nothing you type leaves this page. This is a simulation; your real receptionist is written from your own services, prices, hours and rules.
1 · A call comes in while you're on a job
Pick a call. Watch it answer, then see the alert on your phone.
2 · Your rules, your schedule
You set the rules. Flip one and the calls above change.
Change any of these later with a one-line email. Each card shows what callers hear.
Offer only the time windows I open
Off by default: every call becomes a request, and your team picks the time.
Send emergencies to my on-call phone
Otherwise you get an urgent alert and call them back yourself.
Quote my service-call fee
It never quotes a job price. Only the numbers you approve.
Answer in Spanish too (add-on, $29/mo)
Callers can switch to Spanish at the greeting.
3 · Every morning
One email with every call your team couldn't get to.
Example numbers. Each request links to the caller's number and the full transcript.
| Called | Request | Area | Priority | Preferred | Status |
|---|
Nothing is on your calendar until your team confirms it with the customer.

Questions owners ask
The short answers.
Will it book jobs or promise times without me?
No. By default it takes the request and the caller's preferred times, and your team confirms. If you turn on "offer windows I open", it only offers the windows you list, and you still approve each one.
Will callers know it's AI?
Yes. The greeting says it's your business's AI assistant and that the call is recorded. If anyone asks again, it tells them the same.
Does it screen spam and sales calls?
Yes, free on every plan. Robocalls, scam calls and sales pitches are ended politely and never become alerts on your phone; they only show up as a count in your morning summary. Screening applies to calls your receptionist answers (the calls you forward to it).
What if it gets something wrong?
You get the transcript of every call. Email us what to change and we update the script, usually the same day.
Do I need a new phone number?
No. You forward busy and no-answer calls from your current number, so you and your team still answer first.
How do I cancel?
Reply "cancel" to any email, or use the billing link in your Stripe receipt. Service runs to the end of the period you paid for, and you're not charged again. Turn off call forwarding and it's done; your business number stays yours.
