How does the AI know my business?
Your AI is custom programmed before launch. We train it on your hours, your services, your pricing, your service area, your team, and your booking rules. When a customer calls, the AI knows what you charge for a drain clear, when you're available for emergency work, and what zip codes you cover. It's built for your business specifically, not a generic chatbot wearing your name.
What does the live demo show me?
The demo is a working AI receptionist running a typical service-business call in real time. You enter your phone, pick your trade, and the AI calls you. You have an actual conversation, watch it qualify the lead, see it book an appointment, and receive a confirmation text — all in 60 seconds. The conversation style and booking flow you experience in the demo is exactly what your customers will get when your live AI is deployed.
How fast does the AI answer?
First ring. Every time. 8 AM, 8 PM, weekends, holidays, while you're under a sink, on a roof, or driving between jobs. The AI doesn't sleep, doesn't take lunch, doesn't put the customer on hold. The data shows 78% of customers buy from the company that responds first. The AI makes you that company every time.
What happens after the AI books a job?
The booking lands in your real calendar instantly. You get an SMS notification with the customer's name, number, address, the trade-specific diagnostic info the AI captured, and the appointment time. The customer gets a confirmation text. Your dashboard shows every booking in real time — you can call back, reschedule, or add notes from anywhere.
What's included in the monthly service?
Everything you need to run the AI receptionist as a turnkey service — managed hosting, security patches, software updates, ongoing maintenance, the AI software itself, and a bundled telephony and AI usage allowance sized for typical small-business volume. One bill, one point of contact. No carrier accounts to manage, no separate hosting bill, no software subscriptions to track.
Who handles the carrier compliance paperwork?
We do. A2P 10DLC registration for SMS, toll-free verification for voice, brand and campaign approval — Aubern submits all of it on your behalf. You provide your business information once, and we handle the carrier filings, the resubmissions if needed, and the back-and-forth with the FCC and the carriers. You don't touch the paperwork. The AI receptionist goes live the moment your number is approved.
How long until the AI is live for my business?
Build time is 7–14 days. Carrier compliance approval is typically 1–3 weeks but is controlled by the carriers and the FCC. We start the carrier paperwork the day you sign, so it runs in parallel with the build. Most clients are taking real customer calls within 3–4 weeks of signing.
Why a 12-month commitment?
Because building an AI receptionist that actually works for your business takes real custom programming — your hours, your services, your pricing, your booking rules, carrier compliance, calendar integration, and ongoing tuning as your business changes. The 12-month term lets us deliver a system built specifically for you and supported through the first year of operation. Try the live demo first. You'll know in 60 seconds whether this is the right fit.
How do I get started?
Try the demo. Call the AI from your own phone. If it sounds like the receptionist your business needs, $740 starts the build. We're typically taking real calls within 3–4 weeks of signing. The longer you wait, the more calls go to your competitors.
