The problem

The job goes to whoever answers first.

When the AC dies in a Birmingham August, a pipe splits on a January night, or someone needs a lawyer today, they aren't comparison shopping. They tap the first number, and if it rings out to voicemail, they hang up and call the next business on the list. Many never leave a message.

You can't answer from a crawlspace in Homewood, a roof in Pelham, a courtroom downtown, or I-459 between jobs. A full-time receptionist helps, but costs thousands a month and still goes home at five.

You already pay to make the phone ring: trucks, signs, ads, your Google profile. Every missed call throws part of that spend away.

How one after-hours call slips away

  1. Water heater fails in a Hoover basement. Homeowner searches for a plumber.
  2. Calls your number. Six rings. Voicemail.
  3. Hangs up. Calls the next plumber on the list.
  4. You see a missed call from an unknown number. The job is gone.

Built for Birmingham's busiest days

Your phone rings hardest when you're busiest.

Summer heat

"Our AC just quit."

Central Alabama summers run hot for months. When systems fail during a heat wave, homeowners call until someone answers. Your AI receptionist answers every one, takes the address and the problem, and flags no-cool calls as urgent.

Storm season

"A tree came through the roof."

Spring and fall storms can bring a day of roofing and electrical calls in an hour. Every caller's address and damage is captured, so you triage a list instead of playing voicemail tag.

Hard freezes

"We've got a burst pipe."

A Birmingham cold snap catches plenty of homes off guard. When pipes split at 2 AM, your line answers, shares the safety guidance you give us, and books your first open slot.

The math

It pays for itself with one extra client a month.

Starter is $149/month. Pro is $249/month. For most local service businesses, a single job or client the AI picks up, that would otherwise have gone to voicemail, covers the month.

  • Example$350AC or furnace repair visit
  • Example$1,500Water heater replacement
  • Example$900Roof leak repair after a storm
  • Example$2,500New law-firm client retainer

Example ticket values for illustration only. Your prices and results will differ.

Run your own numbers

Use your figures. Nothing is assumed or saved.

Compared with a full-time front desk (roughly $2,500/month in wages, an estimate), either plan costs a fraction. Overage minutes, if any, are billed at $0.25/min.

Territory exclusivity · The Magic City

One business per trade, per area.

Birmingham was built by people who showed up and did the work. We keep it fair: we run this system for one business in each trade in each service area. If you're the HVAC company we work with in Vestavia Hills, we won't set up the same system for the HVAC company down the road competing for the same calls.

That's the only urgency here, and it's real. No countdown timers, no fake "spots left" counter. Check availability with the free form first; if your trade is open in your area, it's yours while your subscription is active.

FAQ

Questions owners ask

How fast can I be live?

Typically within a few business days of a complete onboarding form. The form opens right after checkout and takes about five minutes.

What counts as a voice minute?

Time your AI receptionist spends on calls for your business, added up across the billing month. Starter includes 200 minutes and Pro includes 500. Beyond that, minutes are billed at $0.25 each so calls are never cut off. We email a heads-up when an account reaches 80% and 100% of its included minutes.

Is there a contract or setup fee?

No and no. Both plans are month-to-month subscriptions billed through Stripe. Cancel anytime from Manage billing; cancelling stops your next charge and service runs through the end of the period you've paid for.

Do you offer refunds?

No. All payments are non-refundable, including partial months. That's why we ask you to check your territory with the free form before subscribing, and why you can cancel online anytime to stop the next charge.

How do I update my card, get an invoice, or cancel?

Go to Manage billing and enter the email you subscribed with. Stripe emails you a secure sign-in link to the billing portal.

Do I need a new phone number?

No. You keep your business number. Your missed or after-hours calls forward to your AI line. Most carriers support "forward when busy or unanswered," and we walk you through it.

Will callers know it's an AI?

Yes. The receptionist introduces itself as an AI assistant for your company and lets callers know the call may be recorded and transcribed.

Does it work for law firms and other non-trade businesses?

Yes. We configure the intake questions for your practice: matter type, urgency, conflict-check details, and callback information. It does not give legal or professional advice; it captures the inquiry and routes it to you.

What happens with true emergencies?

The receptionist follows your emergency rules and flags urgent calls in your alert so you call back first. For anything dangerous, like a gas smell, fire or sparking panel, it tells the caller to get safe and call 911.

What if my trade is already taken in my area?

Check first with the free form below. We'll confirm availability, usually within one business day, before you pay anything.

Who owns the leads?

You do. Every call, chat, upload and booking is yours, and you can ask for a full copy at any time, including after you cancel.

Tonight, someone in Birmingham will call a business like yours. Make sure your line answers.

Hear the AI receptionist yourself, then pick the plan that fits.
