A voice agent that answers the phone when you can't.

It picks up in your business's name, day or night. It answers the usual questions, takes details, books people in and sends you a summary of every call. Anything it can't handle comes to you.

What it does on a call

  • Picks up when you can't

    Greets callers with your business name, including evenings, weekends and when you're on a job.

  • Books people in

    Checks your calendar and books a slot while the caller is still on the line, where your calendar allows it.

  • Takes the details

    Name, number and what they need, sent straight to your inbox so you can call back with the facts.

  • Answers the usual questions

    Prices, opening hours, areas you cover, availability: from answers you've approved, nothing made up.

  • Sorts serious enquiries

    Asks the questions you choose, so you know who to call back first.

  • Hands over to you

    When a call needs a person, it takes a message or passes the caller on, following rules you set.

Questions about AI voice agents

Will callers know it's not a person?

It answers as your business's assistant, and if someone asks, it tells them it's automated. It never pretends to be a named member of staff.

What does it cost to run?

Building and setting it up is a standard package. After that, call minutes are charged by the voice provider, pay as you go, straight to you at cost. We estimate a monthly figure with you and set a spending cap.

What if it can't answer something?

It takes a message or passes the caller to you, depending on the rules we agree. It doesn't guess: it only gives answers you've approved.

Can it book into my calendar?

Yes, if your calendar or booking system lets other tools add bookings, as many do. If yours doesn't, it takes the details and emails you, so you can confirm the slot yourself.

Do I need a new phone number?

No. Your number stays the same, and calls you can't take are forwarded to the agent. A separate number is an option if you'd rather have one.
