AI receptionist for small business
The AI receptionist that never lets a call go to voicemail.
Every missed call is a customer calling your competitor next. AI Front Desk answers your phone and texts around the clock, books the job straight into your calendar, and texts back anyone you miss — before they hang up.

Call comes in
Customer calls, no one picks up in time.
AI texts back
Instantly, before they call someone else.
Job gets booked
Straight into your calendar, no back-and-forth.
You get paid
A lead that would've gone cold, closed.
Built for businesses that live and die by the phone
Home & trade services
Plumbers, HVAC, electricians, landscapers — jobs get booked by whoever answers first.
Salons & personal care
Appointments, rescheduling, and "are you open Sunday?" texts, handled without stopping a service to answer.
Auto & repair shops
Quotes and drop-off scheduling, answered even while hands are busy under a hood.
Print shops & local retail
Order status and quote requests answered the moment they come in, not when someone's free.
What AI Front Desk actually does
Answers, books, and follows up — so no lead goes cold.
24/7 phone & text answering
Every call and text gets answered, nights and weekends included — no more "sorry we missed you" voicemail.
Missed-call text-back
If a call goes unanswered, the AI texts the caller back within seconds — before they hang up and call the next business on Google.
Appointment booking
Books straight into your calendar — no back-and-forth, no double-booking.
Review & follow-up requests
Sends a review request or follow-up text once the job's done, automatically.
Why not the alternatives
You've probably already considered these.
Letting it go to voicemail
Most callers don't leave one — they just call the next result on Google.
An answering service or call center
A human picks up, but you're paying by the minute, they don't know your business, and nobody's booking straight into your calendar.
Hiring a front-desk employee
Real cost — wages, training, time off, turnover — for coverage that still stops at 5pm.
AI Front Desk
Answers instantly, day or night, for a flat monthly rate — a fraction of a call center or an employee's wage.
FAQ
Do I need a new phone number?
No — we can set it up on your existing business line, or provide a new number if you'd rather keep it separate.
What happens if the AI can't answer something?
It says so honestly and offers to have a person follow up. If you're also using a Talnt Staffing VA, it can hand the conversation straight to them.
How fast can this be live?
Typically within a week of your intake call — most of the setup time goes into getting your services, pricing, and calendar right, not the technology.
Is this a subscription?
Yes — a simple monthly plan, cancel anytime. There's a one-time $750 setup fee to configure it for your business.
What's the difference between Starter and Growth?
Starter ($297/mo) covers phone and text answering, missed-call text-back, FAQs, and booking. Growth ($497/mo) adds a website chat widget, automatic review requests, and a monthly performance report.
