Calls during a haircut. Calls after hours. Calls when you're driving. Calls while you're with the customer in front of you. Each one is a missed booking — and the next call usually goes to a competitor.
An AI receptionist answers every call, 24/7, in a branded voice that matches your business. Books appointments directly into your calendar. Qualifies hot leads and transfers them to your cell in seconds. Answers your FAQs (hours, location, pricing, availability) without bothering you.
Cost: under $1/hour of actual call time, plus $99/month management. A human receptionist who does the same job costs $3,500-$5,000/month. The AI pays for itself the first month you stop missing calls.

Real numbers from a Calgary salon client: went from 7 missed calls/day to zero. Recovered ~5 bookings/week × $80 = $400/week = $1,700/month in revenue that didn't exist before.
From $99/month for management plus ~$1/hour in API costs for actual calls handled. Most small businesses spend $120-$200/month total. A human receptionist costs $3,500-$5,000/month for the same hours, so AI saves over 95%.
Most won't — modern AI voice agents (ElevenLabs + Vapi) sound indistinguishable from a real person in normal conversation. We brand the voice to match your business and most callers complete the booking without noticing.
Yes. We integrate with Google Calendar, Square Appointments, Calendly, or your custom booking system. The AI confirms the slot is open before booking, sends a confirmation text, and adds the event to your calendar.
It escalates. Anything outside its knowledge gets routed to you via SMS or transfer. The AI never invents pricing, never lies, never commits you to something it shouldn't.
