Hear it first

Don't take our word for it.
Call it.

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.

Why it can listen while it talks ↗
The problem

You can't answer the phone
and do the work at the same time.

Nobody can. So the phone goes to voicemail while you're on a job, on another call, at lunch or asleep. The person calling does what you'd do: they hang up and try the next number on Google.

You never hear about them. They don't show up anywhere as a lost job. They just become somebody else's customer.

What changes

A Tuesday with an AI receptionist
on your line.

  1. 7:12 AM

    "Can someone come out today?" It checks your calendar, books the 10-to-12 window and reads the booking back. You get a text.

  2. 11:40 AM

    You're on a roof. Three calls come in at once. All three are answered. Nobody waits on hold.

  3. 2:05 PM

    A customer wants you, not the AI. It takes the message, what it's about and when to call back, and sends it to you.

  4. 9:47 PM

    Water is coming through a ceiling. It tells them to shut off the main valve first, marks the call as an emergency and brings in whoever you have on call.

  5. 11:30 PM

    "¿Hablan español?" Yes. Same calm voice, in Spanish.

  6. Next morning

    Every call is written up for you: who called, what they wanted, what it did.

What it does

It does what a good receptionist does.
All day, every day.

  • Answers in your business's name, on the number you already have or a new one.
  • Knows your services, prices, hours, service area and policies. Quotes ranges, not promises.
  • Books into your calendar while the caller is still on the line.
  • Takes messages and sends them to you with the reason for the call.
  • Spots emergencies and gives the right safety instruction first.
  • Hands the call to a person when it should, or when the caller asks, with the details taken.
  • Remembers returning callers and what they asked for last time.
  • Speaks English and Spanish.
  • Never pretends to be a person, and says it's an AI whenever a caller asks.

Why it works

Phone AI used to work like a walkie-talkie.
This one works like a phone call.

Older voice bots took turns, with a separate switch listening to the line to decide whose turn it was. Say “mm-hm” and they stopped mid-sentence. Switch interruptions off, and they talked straight over you.

Ours runs on GPT-Live-1, OpenAI's full-duplex voice model, which hears and speaks at the same time, the way two people on a phone do. A caller can cut in, say "no, the other address", change their mind or ask something nobody scripted, and it carries on the way a person would.

BeforeIt takes turns, like a walkie-talkie
  1. You say “mm-hm”. It hears a sound and stops mid-sentence.
  2. A beat of silence while it works out whose turn it is.
  3. You say “…hello?”
  4. It picks up again, from somewhere in the middle.
NowFull duplex, like a phone call
  1. You say “mm-hm”. It keeps talking.
  2. You say “wait”. It stops and listens.

You'll hear it in the first ten seconds of the demo.

What full-duplex voice AI is, and how to test it ↗
Built for you

We build it around your calls.
You don't set anything up.

Self-serve AI receptionists hand you a settings page and wish you luck. We do the work. Tell us how your calls go: what people ask, what you charge, what counts as an emergency, who gets the urgent ones. We write the conversation, connect your calendar and your systems, and hand it to you to test. Call it, try to break it, tell us what to change. When you're happy with it, it goes live, and from that day you have a 30-day money-back guarantee.

We connect it to the tools you already use: Google Calendar, Outlook, Calendly, ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber, Clio, MyCase, AppFolio, Buildium, HubSpot, Salesforce, GoHighLevel and more. If you use something else, we'll connect that too.

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.

400 calls a month at 2 minutes each is 800 minutes: $240 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.

For comparison

Cheaper than a receptionist.
Cheaper than an answering service.

A full-time receptionist at the U.S. median wage costs $38,010 a year, for 40 hours a week (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 2025). Live answering services charge for every minute a person is on the phone for you:

What 200 minutes of answering a month cost, on each company's published plan
Company 200 minutes a month
Ruby $720
Abby Connect $599
Moneypenny $422
Posh $420
PATLive $349
Talk Society $60 after the build

How Talk Society works ↗
Questions

Questions people ask

Won't my callers hate talking to an AI?

Call the demo and decide for yourself; it takes about four minutes. It doesn't sound like a phone menu, it never pretends to be a person (ask, and it says it's an AI), and anyone who wants a person can get one. It also doesn't talk like the voice bots people are used to: it listens while it speaks, so a caller can cut in or change their mind halfway through a sentence, the way they would with a person.

What if a caller wants a real person?

It hands the call to you, or to whoever you choose, or takes a message if nobody can pick up. You decide the rules.

Will it make things up?

It answers from what you've told it about your business. When it doesn't know, it says so and takes a message instead of guessing.

What about emergencies?

You tell us what counts as one and who gets the call. It gives the safety instruction first and puts the call at the top of the pile.

Can it use my phone number?

Yes. It can sit behind the number you already have, or get a number of its own.

Does it work with my calendar and booking system?

Connecting your calendar and your systems is part of the build. Tell us what you use and we'll tell you how on the call.

How long does it take?

A small build takes about a week.

Am I locked in?

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

Hear it answer.
Then book your demo.

The quickest way to know whether an AI receptionist will work for your business is to call one. It takes four minutes. If you like what you hear, book a demo: our AI asks a few questions about your business and books you a call with our team.

P.S. Try to break it. Interrupt it, change your mind, ask it something strange. That's the fastest way to find out if it's good enough to answer your phone.
