AI phone receptionist for local trades

Give every call a clear next step. Capture more opportunities—even while you’re on-site.

We configure an AI front desk for your overflow and after-hours calls: capture the request, offer approved calendar times, and send your team an email summary.

  • Keep your existing number
  • Start after-hours or overflow
  • No long-term contract

Founding-stage pilot: no customer calls are forwarded until the business approves the tailored flow, safety rules and integrations in acceptance testing. Callers are clearly informed they are speaking with a virtual receptionist.

See how an approved booking flow can work.

The example shows a caller choosing a time. In a configured pilot, Ava checks the connected calendar and confirms the booking only after the calendar accepts it.

Recorded illustration. Text messaging shown in the video is outside the founding pilot. Your call flow, calendar booking and post-call email summaries are configured and tested before customer calls are forwarded.

Read the booking excerpt

Customer: Hi there, can I book a service visit next week?
Ava: Absolutely, I can help with that. I have Thursday at two available. Would that work for you?
Customer: That's perfect!
Ava: Great, you're all set for Thursday at two.

Set it up around your business—not the other way around.

You approve what Ava can answer, what she must collect, and when a person needs to take over.

01

Build your call playbook

We configure your services, hours, coverage area, common questions, pricing language, safety rules and escalation contacts.

02

Forward the calls you choose

Start with after-hours, overflow or unanswered calls while keeping the business number customers already know.

03

Connect the workflow

Your configured pilot captures leads, checks the approved service area, books available calendar times and sends post-call email summaries to your team.

04

Review and improve

Calls are summarized and reviewed so the experience gets shorter, clearer and more accurate over time.

The owner sees the opportunity—not a wall of transcript.

Ava turns the conversation into the information the team needs to decide what happens next.

Does Ava pretend to be human?

No. Ava is introduced as the company’s virtual receptionist. The goal is a natural, helpful conversation without misleading the caller.

Can we keep our current phone number?

Yes. A pilot can begin with call forwarding for after-hours, overflow or unanswered calls. The exact setup depends on the existing phone provider.

Can Ava book appointments?

Yes, once an approved calendar or scheduling workflow is connected. She should only say an appointment is confirmed after the system confirms it.

What happens with emergencies or angry callers?

The business approves clear escalation rules. Safety concerns, complaints, uncertain situations and requests for a person move to the designated human path.

Can we start with one type of call?

Yes. Starting with one valuable flow—such as after-hours estimates or overflow calls—makes the pilot easier to measure and improve.
