This is the front desk we built for a made-up Miami plumbing company. Every technician is out on a job, so the AI is answering. Press the button and be the customer.

  • Say there's a leak under your kitchen sink and ask if someone can come today.
  • Ask what a new water heater costs.
  • Tell it you smell gas.
  • Then cut in halfway through one of its sentences, or say “mm-hm” while it talks.
  • Change your mind about when you want someone to come.

Honestly

When a live service
is the better choice.

If most of your calls need a person's judgement, such as a crisis line, delicate negotiations or medical advice, a live answering service is the right answer, and we'll tell you so.

Most businesses' calls are bookings, prices, hours, messages and "can someone come out". That's what an AI answering service is built for, and it handles them at a fraction of the price.

After hours

The calls that used to
go to voicemail.

  1. 9:47 PM

    A leak, a lockout, a cancelled appointment. It answers, takes the details and sends them to you, or brings in whoever you have on call.

  2. Saturday, 8 AM

    Three people want to book. It checks your calendar and books all three while you're still asleep.

  3. Christmas Day

    Same answer, same voice, same price. No holiday rates.

The price

30 cents a minute.
No monthly fee.

After the build, 30 cents a minute of your AI employee's talk time, billed by the minute. It covers the voice AI and the phone line. No monthly fee, and no charge for the hours it sits waiting. A quiet week costs nothing.

Custom builds start from as little as $1,000 for a small job, about a week to turn around. Most jobs are bigger and are scoped on a call. The build is paid before we start.

100 calls a month at 2 minutes each is 200 minutes: $60 a month

30-day money-back guarantee

If you're not happy with it in the first 30 days after it goes live, we refund the build fee in full. No questions asked. The minutes it talked in that time are still billed. The 30 days start the day it goes live.

No minimum term. Cancel any time.

Questions

Questions people ask

Don't people prefer talking to a person?

Most people prefer being answered. An AI that picks up straight away, talks like a person and hands over to one when asked beats voicemail and a long hold. It listens while it speaks, so callers can cut in and change their mind without being talked over. Call the demo and judge it yourself.

What does an AI answering service cost?

With Talk Society, 30 cents a minute of talk time, billed by the minute, after a build from $1,000 for a small job (most jobs are bigger and are scoped on a call). There is no monthly plan, and you can cancel any time.

How is it different from a live answering service?

It knows your prices, hours and policies, books the job into your calendar and answers everyone who calls at the same time. A live service reads a script, and its people are shared with other businesses.

When is a live answering service the better choice?

When most of your calls need a person's judgement: a crisis line, delicate negotiations or medical advice. Most businesses' calls are bookings, prices, hours and messages, which is what an AI answering service is built for.

What happens after hours and on holidays?

Nothing changes. It answers at 3 AM on Christmas Day the same way it answers at 10 on a Tuesday, at the same price.

Does it speak Spanish?

Yes, English and Spanish, at no extra cost.

Am I locked in?

No. There's no minimum term. After the build you pay for the minutes it talks, and you can cancel any time.

Then compare.

Call our demo front desk and judge it the way your customers would. If it's good enough to answer your phone, book a demo: our AI asks a few questions about your business and books you a call with our team.

P.S. After a build from $1,000, at 30 cents a minute, a month of 200 minutes costs $60. The answering services above charge $349 to $720 for the same minutes.
