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 sending this to our emergency dispatch right now. Our emergency rate is $175 for the first hour, and we can have someone there within 90 minutes. Can you confirm your address?"

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
"Is Mike available Tuesday?"
Claudessa
"Let me take your number and have Mike call you back."
Caller
"Is Mike available Tuesday?"
Claudessa
"Tuesdays are usually tight for Mike — tell me what times work and I'll get them straight to him. He's usually your go-to for panel work — is that what this is for?"
She gets smarter every week.

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. And she keeps learning — every call makes her smarter.
She's honest about it. 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. No making things up, no awkward silences. You can also set up rules for when calls should be transferred directly to you — like specific customers or emergency situations.
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. Takes about 2 minutes to set up with your phone carrier.
No contracts, ever. Your 14-day / first-30-calls trial starts when your receptionist goes live — not when you sign up. Take your time with onboarding. After that, it's month-to-month. Cancel anytime with one click. We don't believe in trapping customers — if Claudessa isn't earning her keep, you shouldn't be paying for her.
