Every call to the shop

Booked while your techs stay on the tools

Check-engine / diagnostic

Captures the year, make, model, and the symptom, then books a diagnostic so your writers can prep the bay.

Routine service

Oil changes, brakes, tires — booked onto your schedule with the vehicle details already on the ticket.

Tow-in or breakdown

A stranded customer or tow-in is flagged as urgent and routed to a person — never left talking to a robot.

Estimate request

Takes the vehicle and the concern and promises a callback with a real quote — it never guesses at pricing.

“Is my car ready?”

Status calls are captured and logged for a callback instead of tying up your service writer — and it never guesses a pickup time.

After-hours and weekends

Nights, weekends, holidays — every call is answered, booked or logged, and waiting for your team in the morning. Urgent calls still reach a person.

Questions

The honest answers

Yes — year, make, model, mileage, and the symptom. Your service writers see it before the car's even in the bay, so they can prep the right diagnosis.

Those get flagged as urgent and routed to a person on your team — it won't leave a stranded customer talking to a robot.

It captures the customer and vehicle and tells them someone will confirm — it never guesses a status or a pickup time. The request lands with your team so a writer can call back, instead of every status call tying up the front desk.

A won't-start, unsafe, or stranded caller is flagged urgent and routed to a person; everything else is captured and waiting in the morning. It answers nights and weekends, so the tow-in goes to you, not the next shop.

No — a tech has to see the car first. It captures the vehicle, the symptom, and the mileage so your writer calls back with a real estimate and pricing stays yours to set.

An answering service just takes a message. This captures the vehicle and symptom, books the appointment, separates a tow-in from a routine oil change, and texts your team the details — at a fraction of the per-call cost.

Plans start at $49/month flat — no per-call or per-minute charges. A human answering service typically bills $1–2 per call, so a shop fielding 300 calls a month pays several times more for messages that still need a callback.

Yes — you choose the language (and voice) your receptionist answers in, so Spanish-speaking customers can book in Spanish. That's a call your voicemail was never going to win.

It books onto your calendar, texts your team the details of every call, and can push call and booking data to your other tools with webhooks or Zapier — no rip-and-replace, and your number stays the same.

Most callers just want the appointment booked and their question answered. It doesn't pretend to be human, answers instantly instead of ringing out, and anyone who needs a person gets routed to one — that beats voicemail, which most callers won't use.

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.

Your plan includes a minute bucket (Starter $49 = 250 min/mo, Growth $179 = 1000 min, Scale $399 = 3000 min). Most service-business calls run 1–3 minutes. If you go over, we charge a clear per-minute overage — no surprise bills.

Try the live demo right now from your laptop and decide. We use Deepgram Nova-3 for understanding, Claude for thinking on paid plans (Groq on the free trial), and Azure Neural voices for speaking — the same stack you'd hire an agency to build for you, with sub-500ms latency.

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.

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.

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.

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.
