Answered on the first ring.
Booked while you work.
Tessa, our AI, picks up every call the second it rings — 24/7 — and books the routine ones herself. The moment a caller wants a person, she warm-transfers to a live operator with the whole conversation already on screen. An enterprise front desk for the price of a phone line, not a call center.

The leak
Every unanswered call is a job walking to a competitor
A homeowner with a 9 PM emergency doesn't leave a voicemail — they call the next name on the list. First to answer usually wins the job.
of calls from unknown numbers go unanswered — calling back rarely rescues the lead.

Tessa answers first. Your people close.
Tessa picks up every call the instant it rings, 24/7, and handles the routine ones herself. The moment a caller wants a person — a real booking, a real question — she warm-transfers to a live operator with the full context on screen, and the human closes the job. She identifies herself as an automated assistant, never a bot pretending to be your staff.
Questions
But you might be wondering…
Does AI or a real person answer?
Tessa, our AI voice agent, answers every call the second it rings, 24/7 — she books the routine ones herself and warm-transfers to a live operator the moment a caller wants a person. Real people handle the conversations that need a human; Tessa makes sure none slip to voicemail. She identifies herself as an automated assistant.
How is this different from an AI receptionist like Jobber’s?
Jobber’s receptionist is AI-only and only works inside Jobber. Front Desk answers with AI first and warm-transfers to a live operator the moment a caller wants one — then books the job straight into the CRM your technicians already run on, no separate callback list.
What does it cost?
A founding rate of $35 for your first operator seat and $15 for each additional seat per month — a flat price with no per-minute meter and no overage surprises. There’s a 3-day trial; you’re not charged until it ends, and you can cancel anytime.
Why is it so much cheaper than Smith.ai or Ruby?
We own the AI (Tessa) and run on our own telephony and CRM rails, so there’s no per-minute human call-center markup to pass on to you. Different cost structure, different price. The founding rate is locked for your first year.
Can I use my own staff as the front desk?
Yes. Invite your own operators or dispatchers, assign them to your company, and turn your team into a branded front desk — for a fraction of a $99/mo AI-only add-on.
Are calls recorded?
Calls may be recorded, and callers are notified on the call as required. See our AI & recording disclosure in the footer for details.
What happens when I request access?
We confirm your details, set up your Front Desk on a short onboarding call, then start a 3-day trial. Nothing goes live and no card is charged until you’ve seen it working and choose to continue.
Is there a contract?
No long-term contract — it’s month-to-month, and you can cancel anytime from the cabinet.
