Claudessa learns your rates, service area, and how you handle emergencies.
Not all AI receptionists are equal
There's a difference between taking messages and handling calls.
Caller:
"I need an emergency plumber — my basement is flooding!"
AI:
"I can take a message and someone will call you back during business hours."
Caller:
"I need an emergency plumber — my basement is flooding!"
Claudessa:
"I'm getting this to the team right now. Our emergency rate is $175 for the first hour. Can you confirm your address so they have it?"

Live call transcript
Caller
"Do you guys do tankless water heater installation?"
Claudessa
"We do! We install Navien and Rinnai units. Installation starts at $3,200 depending on the model and whether we need to upgrade your gas line. Want me to take your details for a free estimate?"
She knew your brands. Your pricing. Your process. Because we called you and asked.
She knows your rates, brands, and policies.
We call you. One conversation and Claudessa handles calls like she's worked at your company for years.
You get the details, not a voicemail.
When someone calls and says what they need, you get their name, their number, and a one-line summary of what they wanted — by text and email, right after the call.
Caller
"I need my furnace serviced before winter."
Claudessa
"Smart thinking. What days generally work for you, and what's the best number to reach you back?"
Caller
"Thursday morning — 512-555-0148."
Claudessa
"Perfect. I'm sending your details to the team right now."
Caller
"Do you guys install EV chargers?"
Claudessa
"Let me take your number and have Mike call you back."
Caller
"Do you guys install EV chargers?"
Claudessa
"We do — Mike installs home EV chargers. Tell me what times work for you, and I'll pass them along to him."
Answer a question once, and she knows it.
Claudessa handles standard calls from day one — greeting callers, capturing details, taking messages. The improvement is on edge cases and your specific business knowledge. When a caller asks something she doesn't know yet, she flags it, and once you give her the answer she uses it on every call after.

Questions contractors ask
We call you. Not a form, not a setup wizard — an actual conversation. Claudessa asks about your rates, service area, emergency procedures, business hours, and how you like calls handled. The conversation takes 15 minutes, and after that, Claudessa knows your business well enough to handle calls like a trained employee.
She takes a message instead of guessing. If a caller asks something Claudessa doesn't know, she'll say "Let me find that out and get back to you." Then she texts you the question with the caller's info. You can also tell us when you want calls transferred straight to you.
Yes. You keep your number. We set up call forwarding so calls to your existing number ring Claudessa when you can't answer. You control when forwarding is active — all the time, only after hours, or only when you're on a job. Your dashboard gives you the code to dial to turn it on.
No contracts, ever. Your 14-day / first-30-calls trial starts when your receptionist goes live — not when you sign up. After that, it's month-to-month. Cancel anytime with one click. You have 30 days from signup to complete onboarding and go live; miss it and the signup expires on its own, with nothing charged. We don't believe in trapping customers — if Claudessa isn't earning her keep, you shouldn't be paying for her.
Flex is $29/mo with 50 calls included. Volume is $79/mo with 200 calls included. Calls over the plan allowance are $0.49/call on Flex and $0.29/call on Volume. Your dashboard shows how many calls you've used this billing period. See how that compares to other answering services.
There is no hard cutoff. Flex includes 50 calls; after the included allowance, extra calls are $0.49/call overage. Volume includes 200 calls, then $0.29/call.
Yes. Claudessa identifies herself as an AI assistant at the start of every call. We believe in transparency — callers deserve to know who they're talking to.
