Yes — you keep your existing business number. Claudessa works through simple call forwarding. You set a forwarding rule on your current phone (takes about 2 minutes with most carriers), and calls route to Claudessa when you can’t answer. You can forward all calls, just after-hours calls, or only when you’re busy. Your customers dial the same number they’ve always used.
We call you. After you sign up, Claudessa’s onboarding AI calls your phone and has a 15–20 minute conversation about your business — your services, pricing, service area, hours, emergency policies, and how you want calls handled. That conversation builds a detailed knowledge base that no web form could match. The AI learns your business the way a new employee would: by asking smart questions and listening to the answers.
