AI receptionist for Middle Tennessee

The calls you miss after 5 PM are the ones costing you jobs.

Your phone keeps ringing after you've put the tools down — evenings, weekends, and holidays. Voicemail loses those callers. After Hours answers them in your business's name, takes the message, and emails you a summary before you're back on the clock.

After Hours — The Night & Weekend Safety Net · $99/mo plus a one-time $99 setup · most are live in under 15 minutes of your time.

  • Your receptionist, your way. You pick its name, a male or female voice, and the exact greeting callers hear.
  • Keep your number and your carrier. You just forward your line to it — nothing on your trucks, cards, or Google listing changes.
  • An email summary after every call. Who called, what they needed, and the callback number.

Call our demo line at (615) 583-8217 to test an example AI receptionist live. It answers, takes a message, and reads it back — takes about a minute.

Every plan is published — no waiting and no "call for a quote."

Why answering first matters

What it does

A full front desk, without the overhead

Every missed call is a missed customer. Your AI receptionist picks up instantly, sounds natural, and handles the routine work so you can stay on the job.

📞

Answers the calls you'd miss

Picks up on the first ring — evenings, weekends, and holidays on After Hours, or around the clock from Answer up. Callers get a real answer instead of voicemail.

🎭

Your receptionist, your way

You choose its name, a male or female voice, and the exact greeting callers hear. We tune the tone to how your business actually talks — it isn't a stock persona with your name pasted on.

🎧

Talks like a person

Callers have a natural back-and-forth and get real answers — no robotic menus or 'press 1 for hours.'

🛡️

Guards your day

“Are you hiring?” “What time do you close?” Sales pitches, robocalls, the same three questions all day. It handles them so you stay on the job — and you still see every one of them in your summary.

✉️

A summary after every call

Who called, what they needed, and the best number to reach them — emailed to you on every plan, and texted as well once you're on Front Desk.

📅

Books appointments

On Front Desk and up, it checks your availability and schedules customers straight into your calendar — no back-and-forth. After Hours and Answer take the message instead.

Speed to answer

The average business takes over a day to call a lead back.

By then they've already hired someone else — and 63% of businesses never respond at all. Your AI receptionist answers in one ring, every time, day or night.

Honest billing

The receptionist that never surprises you on the bill

Surprise charges are the number-one complaint about answering services. That isn't how we work — here's exactly what you do and don't pay for.

  • We bill connected talk time only — never ring time or hold time.
  • Overage is a flat $0.25/min on every standard plan — at or below the rest of the market.
  • Time is rounded to the nearest 15 seconds, not 30.
  • No charge for calls under 15 seconds — wrong numbers and hang-ups are free.
  • No charge for spam and robocalls, or for our own test calls.
  • No surprise upgrades: a 10% grace band plus alerts at 80% and 100% — we never move you to a pricier plan on our own.
  • Surge protection: once a year we waive a month of overage when a storm or emergency spikes your call volume.

How it works
01

We build it

Tell us about your business and pick your receptionist's name, voice, and greeting. We build and test it for you — on After Hours that takes under 15 minutes of your time.

02

You forward your line

You keep your number and your carrier. You just set call forwarding to the line we give you — after hours, when you're busy, or all the time. We never port your number.

03

You get the summary

A tidy email lands after each call with who rang, what they needed, and the callback number. Front Desk adds a text as well.

Medical or dental? Anything touching patient information needs a separate HIPAA-ready plan with a signed BAA — it isn't part of After Hours or Answer. See the Healthcare plan on pricing, orcall (629) 217-2310.
