Lead qualification

Booked-job guarantee
If she hasn't booked you a job by the end of your trial, it stays free until she does. Guarantee terms

3 Steps
How It Works
Your receptionist goes live after your onboarding call, once she has what she needs, and you take that call when it suits you. No IT department required.
1
Sign Up in 2 Minutes
Enter your name, business name, email, and phone number. Trial terms shown before you start. No lengthy forms. You’re in.
2
We Call You to Learn Your Business
Claudessa’s onboarding AI calls you for a conversation of about 15 minutes. It asks about your services, pricing, service area, hours, and how you want calls handled. That conversation becomes your knowledge base.
3
Forward Your Calls
Set up call forwarding on your existing business number — takes about 2 minutes with most carriers. Claudessa starts answering immediately. Forward all calls, after-hours only, or when you’re on a job.

Industry Focus
Built for Home Services Businesses
Claudessa isn’t a generic answering bot repurposed for trades. It’s built specifically for the way home services businesses handle calls — emergencies, scheduling, pricing questions, and service area checks.
HVAC
Handles AC-down emergencies, furnace repair calls, and maintenance requests. Knows the difference between “no cool” and “weird noise” and routes accordingly.
HVAC answering detailsPlumbing
Burst pipes and flooding are on her emergency list, so she tries to reach you right away. She takes down what the caller says and texts you the details right after the call.
Plumber answering detailsElectrical
Flags safety hazards — burning smell, sparking outlet, panel buzzing — as urgent. Takes non-emergency work like fixture installs and panel upgrades as a normal request, no urgency flag.
Electrician answering detailsAlso serving general contractors, property managers, and dental offices.
FAQ
Common Questions About the Free Trial
14 days or the first 30 genuine calls, whichever comes first. Every feature is included, giving you time to see how many calls Claudessa catches, how many job requests she takes, and how much revenue it saves.
Visitors who come to Claudessa on their own do not need a payment card to start. Some promotional offers require a card before the receptionist starts; when they do, the exact charge date and amount are shown before card setup, and there is no charge that day. The trial ends after 14 days or the first 30 genuine calls, whichever comes first.
After your 14-day / first-30-calls trial, Flex is $29/month with 50 calls included; $0.49/call overage. There are no contracts and no cancellation fees — you can cancel anytime from your dashboard. If she hasn’t booked you a job by the end of your trial, it stays free until she does. After that, if you started without a card and don’t subscribe, your account pauses; if your signup asked for a card, the exact charge date and amount were shown before you entered it, and you can cancel before then. We don’t delete your data or your knowledge base, so you can pick up right where you left off if you decide to come back later. See full details on our pricing page.
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 roughly 15-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.
