FAQ

The things operators actually ask.

If yours isn't here, ask us on a demo call — we'd rather answer it properly than guess at it in writing.

The product

What it is and what it does.

Will callers know it's a machine?

Some will and some won't. It answers like a person rather than opening with a disclosure, because leading with that loses callers in the first few seconds. Ask it directly and it says exactly what it is and offers to put a person on. You choose whether it also volunteers that before the call ends.

What happens when it doesn't know something?

It says so plainly, then transfers or takes a message — and logs the question. Every unanswered question becomes a task in your dashboard. Answer it once and the agent has it permanently.

Can it really quote my prices?

That's the reason it exists. You load your own rate table with your own units and multipliers, and the agent reads from that. It isn't estimating from an average of what other contractors charge.

What stops it inventing a number?

Every item carries a flag for whether it can be quoted on a call. Anything you mark unquotable it declines out loud, using the reason you wrote, and offers a visit instead. There's no fallback path where it guesses.

How is this different from the AI receptionist in my CRM?

A receptionist built into a field-service platform serves the average of a hundred thousand businesses. It can book a visit and take a message. It can't quote your prices, because it doesn't have them. That gap is the whole product.

Getting going

Setup and day-to-day.

Do I need a new phone number?

No. Most operators keep the number they advertise and forward it — all calls, after hours, or only when nobody picks up. Forwarding is instant and reversible. You can also buy a number through us to test alongside your main line.

How long does setup take?

Most shops are taking live calls the same day. The longest part is usually deciding what you don't want it to quote.

Can I run more than one agent?

Yes. Each gets its own number, its own voice, and its own list of what it's allowed to do — so a sales line and a service line can behave completely differently.

What if I want to turn it off?

There's a switch that sends calls back to voicemail immediately, with no deploy and no support ticket. Forwarding is yours to undo at any time.

Does it work when several people call at once?

Yes. Concurrency is the thing one receptionist can't give you — every caller gets answered on the first ring.

Data & compliance

Recordings, consent and responsibility.

Are calls recorded?

Only if you turn it on, and the announcement plays first. Several states require every party to consent before a call is recorded. Recordings are what make transcripts and the improvement loop work, so most operators keep them on.

Who owns the call data?

You do. We process it to run the service on your behalf, and we don't sell it or use your customers' conversations to train models for anyone else. See the Privacy Policy for the specifics.

Can it text people who never contacted us?

No. Consent has to exist on the contact record, and it can't be inherited from a purchased list — carriers prohibit it and so do our terms.

Who's responsible for compliance?

We build the controls — consent records, calling windows, disclosure settings, opt-out handling, 10DLC registration — and you decide how to configure them for your business. The Terms set out where that line sits.

Hear it quote your prices.

Send us your rate sheet and we'll load it, then call you from an agent that knows it. Fifteen minutes tells you whether this works for your shop.
