An AI that answers your phone when you can’t

Every missed call is a job that went to someone else.

A plumber under a sink. A store on erev Shabbos. A contractor on a roof. An AI receptionist picks up every call, day or night, answers from your own info, takes the details or books the job, and sends you a summary.

How to do it today

4 steps on Smith.ai’s free plan

1

Go to smith.ai

Open the AI Receptionist page and click Start free.

2

Teach it your business

Hours, services, prices, the area you cover, and what it should never promise. Already made your business.md from AI Daily #1? Paste it in.

3

Test it before anyone else does

Use Quality Studio and call it yourself three times. Ask the hard questions your customers ask.

4

Send it your missed calls

Set your phone to forward calls you don’t answer. Smith.ai has a short guide for each phone company. Start with nights and busy times.

A call log with summaries: new lead, wants an estimate Tuesday, callback number
Every call, written up and waiting for you.

Set it up the heimish way

Add Shabbos and Yom Tov hours. Have it take a message instead of guessing a price. And have it say clearly that it’s an automated assistant.

Tomorrow: a quote that writes itself the moment a customer asks.

Talk soon,

Joel
