How is this really set up in 5 minutes?

You paste your website URL. We scrape it (services, hours, FAQs). You pick a vertical template and a voice. You claim a phone number. We provision the AI assistant and link it to the number. End-to-end: ~5 minutes from signup to a number that rings to your AI. Nobody else in this price range does this.

What does it cost per call?

Your plan includes a minute bucket (Starter $49 = 250 min/mo, Growth $179 = 1000 min, Scale $399 = 2500 min). Most service-business calls run 1–3 minutes. If you go over, we charge a clear per-minute overage — no surprise bills.

Will it sound robotic?

Try the live demo right now from your laptop and decide. Our voice AI understands natural speech, reasons through what the caller needs, and replies in a natural, human-sounding voice — the same caliber of stack you'd hire an agency to build for you, answering in under a second.

What if it fumbles a call?

Every call is fully transcribed and recorded — you see exactly what happened. Urgent calls transfer to your team through a waterfall: it tries your number, then up to two backups, and if nobody answers it takes a message and texts the team instead of dropping the caller. And you can refine the system prompt in our dashboard without re-onboarding.

Do I need to port my number, or change carriers?

Neither. Forward your existing line to your new AI number in minutes — no porting, no downtime, keep your current carrier. Calls keep working the whole time, and you can fully port the number over later if you ever want to. No rip-and-replace.

What about HIPAA / consent recording laws?

We default to playing a consent disclosure at call start for two-party-consent states. We don't sign HIPAA BAAs in v1, so we don't recommend the product for clinical medical use yet. Dental, optometry, vet — generally fine. Hospitals — not yet.

What's the most I could ever be billed in a month?

Your plan price plus capped overage — and we publish the number. Overage is $0.40/min and stops at twice your plan's included minutes; past that, service pauses instead of billing more. Starter's absolute worst case is $149/mo. You get warning emails at 80% and 100% long before any of that.
