AI receptionist and phone answering service
The AI receptionist that answers every call for your business
Sofia picks up on the first ring, 24/7, handles the call the way you would, and texts you the details before the caller hangs up. Built for contractors, service businesses and local offices.
What is an AI receptionist?
An AI receptionist is a phone answering service run by AI instead of a person. Sofia answers your business line around the clock in a natural voice, takes the caller’s name, number and reason for calling, books appointments or callbacks, sends emergencies to your on call phone, and texts you a summary of every call. Plans start at $39 a month with a 30 day free trial, and you keep your existing number. A full time receptionist costs a small business about $3,000 a month and works 40 hours a week. Sofia works all 168.
How a call works
She answers on the first ring
Day, night, weekends and holidays. Callers hear a friendly voice with your business name, not a voicemail box.
She finds out what they need
Name, number, address and the problem, read back to confirm. She asks the right questions for your kind of business.
She books it or routes it
Routine work gets booked or a callback set. Real emergencies go straight to your on call tech.
You get a text in seconds
Every call lands on your phone with a clear summary and a recording, so you call back already knowing the job.
What Sofia does for a small business

Captures the job details and sets the appointment or the callback the way you run your schedule.

Questions people ask
How much does an AI receptionist cost?
Sofia plans start at $39 a month for a solo business, with larger plans for crews and shops. Every plan starts with 30 days free and there is no contract.
Is an AI phone answering service better than voicemail?
Most callers who reach voicemail hang up and call the next business. Sofia answers live, gets the details and books or routes the call, so the lead stays with you.
Do I have to change my phone number?
No. You keep your number and forward calls to Sofia when you want her to answer, all the time, after hours, or only when you miss the call.
Can callers tell it is AI?
Many callers never notice. The ones who do mostly care that someone picked up and got their problem handled.
What happens with emergencies?
You choose what counts as an emergency for your business. Those calls ring your on call phone right away, and anything life threatening is told to hang up and dial 911.
