AI Front Desk / For hands-on service businesses

Stay with the job.
Give callers a clear next step.

When your hands are full, callers still need to feel heard. Give them a clear AI greeting, helpful answers you approve, and a way to leave the details your team needs to call back.

Setup from C$599 one time. Optional care. Software and phone usage are additional.

What we are offering

Less chasing details.
More useful callbacks.

We begin with one agreed job for the assistant. Your business keeps control of the answers, the boundaries, and the human follow-up.

01

Agree the answers

Set the greeting, common questions, business hours, service area, and when a request must go to your team.

02

Collect what matters

Use a short intake flow so staff get a useful request—not a vague message or a promise the business never approved.

03

Let people decide

Send the summary to the agreed destination. Staff own quotes, availability, diagnosis, suitability, and callbacks.

From C$2,499one-time setup

For more involved workflows and handoffs.

  • Growth foundations and readiness checks
  • Up to four scoped caller pathways
  • New/existing customer and department rules
  • Up to two standard connections, subject to fit
  • Two revision rounds, failure/recovery tests and handover

One location and language. Final scope and fixed quote follow review. Custom software, regulated advice and 24/7 human monitoring are excluded.

Discuss Pro
Same readiness standard in every tier.Agreed answers and boundaries, a human fallback, basic acceptance-testing labour, agreed setup-defect fixes, and handover. No live launch without approved test results and client acceptance.

All amounts in CAD. Setup prices are one time, not all-inclusive lifetime costs. Software, phone service and approved testing usage are additional. Care is optional. Taxes are extra. Final scope, price and service terms are agreed in a written quote before work begins.

After launch

Your system.
Your choice of support.

We recommend early-life review for two to three months. That is a recommendation—not a required subscription or minimum term.

Optional / Essential Care
C$199 / month

Check it. Tune it.
Know what changed.

Up to two hours total per month: one hour of routine quality review, minor optimization and reporting, plus one hour of incident investigation.

  • Review a small agreed sample of interactions
  • Check the configured staff-notification workflow
  • Make bounded, approved small updates
  • Summarize issues, changes and next decisions

Business-hours service; hours and scope agreed in writing. No rollover, unlimited changes, continuous human monitoring, or guaranteed resolution time. Included setup-defect fixes remain separate. Paid tests need specific approval.

Prefer to self-manage?

Choose setup and handover without ongoing seller care. Your team then owns checks, routine updates, vendor administration, and incident escalation. Vendor charges continue either way.

Launch quality is not an upsell.
Declining care does not remove basic launch testing or agreed setup-defect coverage.

More involved support needs

More involved workflows may need a separately scoped care plan. Agree review cadence, integration coverage, included hours and price in writing before starting.

The written quote defines the support scope and commercial terms before work starts. Larger changes are quoted separately.

Interactive illustration / use your own numbers

What could unanswered
calls be costing you?

Start with a few simple questions about your business. Pricing and software costs come later, only if you want to compare the opportunity against the cost of the system.

Step 1

Tell us about the calls you may be missing

No technical knowledge needed. Use rough estimates if you do not have exact numbers.

This helps us avoid pretending every missed call would have become a sale. If roughly 3 out of 10 serious enquiries usually buy, choose 3.

Time illustration / separate from sales

What is handling these calls costing you in time?

This estimates the front-desk work around routine calls and missed calls: answering common questions, collecting details, checking voicemail, writing information down and preparing a callback. It does not assume the AI replaces the human follow-up itself.

This is your assumption. It represents work such as greeting callers, answering approved FAQs, collecting details and creating a staff-ready summary. Human callbacks, quotes and decisions still remain.

Illustration only. This estimates first-contact administrative time, not total staffing savings. It does not assume every call can be automated, that a human callback disappears, or that saved time automatically becomes profit. Use your own numbers and adjust the slider conservatively.

Step 3 — Compare the scenario with a packageOptional cost comparison. Select a package and use your own vendor estimate.

Why are there costs here?

The numbers above show the business opportunity only. This section compares that hypothetical upside with what it may cost to run the solution.

One-time setup — selected package

This is the project fee to configure, test and hand over the agreed workflow. Pro uses its starting price here; a final quote may be higher.

Software + phone usage

The phone agent runs on third-party services. Their charges depend on call minutes and configuration. C$75/month below is only a placeholder so you can see how the math works.

Optional care — C$199/month

This is not required. Include it only if you want ongoing QA, small optimizations and incident investigation during the first few months.

Potential additional contribution / monthC$0
After estimated monthly running costsC$0
First month after running costs + selected setupC$0
Illustrative time to recover setup—

This illustration subtracts the selected setup price and entered recurring costs from potential additional contribution. It is not net profit: it excludes tax, overhead and your implementation time. Do not add the time-value estimate to contribution if it would double count labour or the same benefit. Pro may require a higher final quote.

How the illustration works: missed calls × genuine-enquiry share × close rate × typical sale value = potential sales represented by those missed calls. The contribution view uses the amount left after direct job costs. All defaults are hypothetical, including the C$250 sale; they are not verified prospect prices. The recovery slider estimates additional paid work beyond your existing callback process. Monthly figures use 52 ÷ 12 weeks. Nothing is stored or sent.

Research context / not your business data

What people report doing when a business does not answer

These figures provide context for the calculator. They come from CallRail research and platform data, mostly in the U.S.; they do not describe your specific customers or prove what an AI Front Desk would recover.

21%

of surveyed consumers said they immediately call another business after an unanswered call.

Research is contextual evidence, not a promise of local behaviour, sales lift or return on investment. The calculator intentionally requires the prospect to supply the assumptions that drive the result.

Before you decide

Practical questions.
Straight answers.

Clear scope now is more useful than surprises after launch.

What does an AI Front Desk do?

The service handles agreed routine phone questions and gathers the details your staff need to return a call. It is configured around your business, not presented as a person or as a professional adviser.

Can I keep my existing business number?

Potentially. We first check your carrier, forwarding options and current phone setup. Keeping your published number may be practical, but compatibility and any extra carrier charges must be confirmed before we promise it.

Can it answer only when we are busy or closed?

We can scope the pilot around a defined answering period or overflow route. The exact busy, unanswered or after-hours behaviour depends on your phone service and must pass testing before activation.

Will callers know they are speaking with AI?

Our approach uses a clear AI introduction and an approved route to human follow-up. The greeting and any recording notice are agreed before launch; we do not design the service to impersonate a staff member.

Will it replace our receptionist or team?

The starting offer is an extra intake route, not a promise to replace staff. Your team still owns callbacks, customer decisions, complaints and anything outside the approved answers.

Can it confirm bookings, give quotes or diagnose a problem?

The Foundational tier collects appointment requests; staff confirm availability and price. A higher tier can include one specifically reviewed booking connection where supported. Quotes, diagnosis, payments, professional advice and emergency dispatch are outside this starter offer.

What happens when it does not know the answer?

We configure it to acknowledge the limit and capture a human follow-up request, using answers you approve. Testing covers unknown questions and requests for a person. AI can still make mistakes, so a fallback and a responsible staff owner remain necessary.

What is included in the C$599 setup?

The Foundational scope is one location, one inbound route, one language, up to 20 approved FAQs, six intake fields and one staff inbox. It includes configuration, one consolidated prelaunch revision, agreed basic launch-testing labour, setup-defect fixes and handover. Vendor charges are separate.

Do I have to pay a monthly management fee?

No. Care is optional. We recommend two to three months of early-life review and optimization, but that is not a minimum term. A self-managed handover is available, with your team responsible for ongoing monitoring and updates. Software and phone charges still apply.

What other costs should I expect?

Client-owned vendor accounts are billed separately for the selected voice configuration, phone service and automation usage. We estimate these using your expected call volume, disclose taxes and currency effects where applicable, and agree test and live-usage budgets before spending. They are not included in the C$599 price.

Is launch testing included, and when would we go live?

Basic acceptance-testing labour is included in every setup tier. We use fictional callers, check the staff handoff and fallback, and fix agreed setup defects. Vendor test usage needs a separately approved budget. A launch date is agreed after business inputs, technical fit and readiness are confirmed—not promised from this page alone.

Who owns the accounts, and what happens to caller information?

The service model uses client-owned vendor accounts. Before connecting them, we agree what data is collected, authorized access, recording choices, retention and deletion responsibilities. Avoid sensitive information in initial intake. We do not make blanket privacy, security or compliance guarantees.

How do we agree the project?

We review your workflow and technical fit, then agree the final scope, fixed setup fee and service terms in a written quote before work begins. This page does not take payments or create a service agreement.

Does this guarantee more customers or profit?

No. Any calculator or example shows assumptions, not a forecast or proven result. We compare genuinely additional completed, paid work with the existing callback process, subtract the relevant costs, and measure what actually happens.

What do you need from us to start?

A responsible decision-maker, approved common answers, business hours and service area, the few caller details staff need, and an owner for callbacks. We then confirm the phone/inbox setup, permissions, data choices, scope and budget. Do not send passwords or sensitive client records through an inquiry form.

First step / no purchase required

Start with your
actual phone workflow.

Tell us what happens when you cannot answer and what your team needs from a caller. We can then discuss a sensible scope—not assume a bigger package is better.

Useful starting points: your common questions, existing callback process, and approximate call volume.
Not a fit for this starter offer: emergency dispatch, diagnosis, professional advice, or unsupervised customer commitments.
Human-owned: every business needs someone responsible for following up.
