Answering now — 24 / 7 / 365

Never miss a customer call again.

Local AI Front Desk is an AI receptionist for local businesses. It picks up every call on the first rings — nights, weekends, mid-job — books the appointment, and texts you the summary seconds after the call ends.

  • Every call answered, even when you're on a roof, under a sink, or with a patient.
  • Booked, not just messaged. The caller leaves with a real appointment on your calendar.
  • You keep your number. Forward your existing line — no new phone, no app to learn.

One flat plan. One booked job typically pays for months of it.

Section 02 — How it works

Set it up once. Then it just answers.

No hardware, no new number, no software for your crew to learn. Most businesses are live the same day.

STEP 1

Tell it your business

Your services, hours, service area, prices you're happy to quote, and how you like jobs booked. Fifteen minutes, done with a human on our side.

STEP 2

Forward your line

Point your existing business number at the Front Desk — always, after hours only, or just when you don't pick up. You choose the rule.

STEP 3

Get the summary

Every call ends with a text to you: who called, what they need, and what's booked. Urgent calls are flagged and patched straight through.

Seconds after hang-up — no logging in, no dashboard to check.

Section 03 — What it handles

The front-desk work you don't have time for

It's not a phone tree and it's not voicemail with a robot voice. It holds a real conversation, in your business's name, and finishes the job.

  • Answers & books

    Greets callers by your business name, checks your real calendar, and books, reschedules, or confirms appointments on the spot.

  • After-hours & overflow

    The 8 pm emergency, the Sunday inquiry, the three calls that land while you're mid-job — all answered like it's 10 am on a Tuesday.

  • Questions, answered straight

    Hours, pricing ranges, service area, “do you handle…?” — answered from your details, not improvised. Anything it shouldn't answer, it takes a message for.

  • Emergencies get escalated

    Burst pipe, no heat with a baby in the house, a patient in pain — flagged urgent and patched to you or your on-call, immediately.

Built for owner-run local businesses:

The call gets answered either way — the difference is whether you're the one who has to stop and take it.

What are missed calls costing you?

Use your own numbers. Callers who reach voicemail rarely leave one — most just dial the next business on the list.

Setup handled with you on a short call. No long-term contract.

It introduces itself as your business's front desk and answers naturally, in plain spoken language. If a caller asks directly, it says so honestly — and anything a caller insists on handling with a person gets taken as a priority message or patched through, per your escalation rules.

No. You keep your number and your phones. You forward your line to the Front Desk — all the time, after hours only, or only when you don't pick up. Changing the rule later takes a minute.

It doesn't guess. It takes the caller's name, number, and question, and that lands in your text summary flagged for a callback. You set the boundaries — quotes, discounts, and judgment calls stay yours.

During setup we connect the calendar you already use and your real availability windows. The Front Desk offers open slots, confirms the appointment with the caller, and the booking — plus the call summary — shows up where you'd expect it.

You define what counts as urgent for your trade. Those calls are flagged and patched straight to you or your on-call person while the caller is still on the line — everything else waits politely in your summary.

Your next after-hours call is coming tonight.

Somebody will answer it — you, the Front Desk, or your competitor's. Get set up today and make sure it's not the third one.
