An AI receptionist that answers every call, then emails you the summary.
Missed calls are missed jobs. An AI phone agent answers in a natural voice, 24 hours a day, asks the questions your front desk would ask, books appointments and sends you a summary of every call. Don't take my word for it: the number on this site is one. Call (314) 970-4001.
Set up and managed as part of the monthly rate, starting at $499 a month. Call minutes are a usage cost we'll go over on our first call.
Businesses where the phone rings while everyone's busy
An AI phone agent earns its keep when calls come in at the wrong moments: while you're on a job, with a customer, or closed for the night. It fits best if any of these sound familiar:
- Trades and home services. You're on a roof or under a sink when the phone rings, and the caller tries the next company on the list.
- Appointment businesses. Salons, studios, clinics and practices where the front desk is checking someone in while two lines ring.
- Professional offices. Offices where a new inquiry needs a fast, professional answer and an appointment on the calendar.
- Anyone with an after-hours problem. Calls on evenings and weekends that go to a voicemail box nobody checks until Monday.
If your phone rarely rings, or every call genuinely needs you personally, this isn't where I'd start. There are better items for your list.
Everything that goes into a working phone agent
- A custom voice agent trained on your services, hours, prices and policies
- Natural conversation, not a phone tree
- Appointment booking on your calendar
- Call summaries emailed to you after every call
- Urgent-call routing to your cell (when you want it)
- After-hours, overflow or full-time coverage: your choice
- Ongoing tuning: I review calls and tighten the agent's instructions weekly
This isn't a separate product with a separate price. It's one item on your list, covered by the same flat monthly rate as everything else I do for you.
How it works
Write down what your best receptionist knows
We write down what your best receptionist knows: services, pricing rules, FAQs, what counts as urgent. If you don't have a receptionist, we get it out of your head in a 30-minute call.
Build it, then try to break it
I build and test the agent, then you call it and try to break it. Ask it odd questions, interrupt it, ask for a discount. Every gap you find becomes an instruction.
Forward the calls
We forward your after-hours or overflow calls to it. You keep your number; nothing changes for your customers except that someone answers.
Review and improve every week
I review the calls every week and keep improving it. If callers keep asking something the agent can't answer, we add the answer.
Call my agent right now: (314) 970-4001
The number on this website is answered by an AI phone agent I built. It asks about your business, books a call with me, and emails me a summary when you hang up. Call it, ask it hard questions, and decide for yourself whether your customers would be fine talking to something like it.
Example: a four-person plumbing company
Sample business, invented scenario. It shows how the pieces fit, not a result from a real client.
Picture a four-person plumbing company. The owner and two techs are in the field all day, and the office manager works until 3 p.m. Before the agent, afternoon and evening calls went to voicemail, and callbacks happened the next morning.
With the agent in place, a homeowner calls at 7:40 p.m. about a leaking water heater. The agent answers, asks whether water is actively leaking, gets the address and a callback number, and recognizes that an active leak counts as urgent under the owner's rules. It texts the owner on call, tells the caller someone will call back shortly, and emails a summary. A second caller at 8:15 p.m. wants a quote for a bathroom remodel. Not urgent, so the agent books a site visit on the calendar for later in the week and sends the summary.
In the morning, the office manager has two summaries instead of two voicemails, one job already handled and one already on the calendar.
What a phone agent can't do
- It isn't you. It handles the routine well: hours, services, booking, taking details, triage. Complex pricing conversations, upset longtime customers and anything that needs judgment about a specific job should go to a person, and we set it up to route those.
- It only knows what we teach it. On day one it will get some questions it can't answer. It says so and takes a message rather than guessing, and the weekly review is where those gaps get closed.
- Some callers will hang up on any AI. Most just want a fast, helpful answer, but not all. If your customer base is especially sensitive to this, start with after-hours coverage only.
- Call minutes cost something. The voice platform charges for usage. See the FAQ below.
Questions about AI phone agents
Will callers know it's AI?
If they ask, it says so. Most callers care far more about getting a fast, helpful answer than who gives it.
Can it transfer to a person?
Yes. It can route urgent calls to your cell or take a message for a callback.
What does it cost to run?
The agent's call minutes are a usage cost on the voice platform. We'll go over call volume and costs on our first call.
Can it book into my calendar?
Yes, into most common calendars and booking tools.
Is the phone agent priced separately?
No. It's one item on your list, included in the same flat monthly rate, starting at $499 a month.
