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, holidays — and while you're busy with a customer. Voicemail loses those callers. Safety Net answers them in your business's name, takes the message, and emails you a summary before you're back on the clock.
Safety Net — Catches the calls you can't take · $99/mo plus a one-time $149 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 when a call needs you. Urgent calls, callbacks and messages — and every call is in your dashboard.
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."

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
It answers every call, or just the ones you can't pick up — after hours or while you're busy with a customer. Your choice. 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 dashboard.
An email for every call that needs you
Urgent calls, callbacks, messages, anything that went wrong — with who called, what they needed and the best number to reach them. Every call is in your dashboard, and Front Desk adds a text as well.
Books appointments
On Front Desk and up, it checks your availability and schedules customers straight into your calendar — no back-and-forth. Safety Net and Answer take the message instead.

Local help, built for how you actually work
Based right here in Mount Juliet, we started Volunteer AI after watching great local businesses lose customers to voicemail. Big-city call centers don't know your town. We do.
We set everything up for you, tune it to sound like your business, and keep it working — so the phone is one less thing on your plate.
A website that keeps up with your business
- Built for phones, with your real services and prices
- Shows your hours and whether you're open right now — on its own
- You can update it yourself; we host it and look after it
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.

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.
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 Safety Net that takes under 15 minutes of your time.
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.
You hear about the ones that need you
A tidy email lands for each call that needs you — urgent calls, callbacks and messages — with who rang, what they needed, and the callback number. Every call is in your dashboard. Front Desk adds a text as well.
Bookings and messages land in your tools, not in another inbox
When your receptionist takes a booking or a message, it can drop it straight into the calendar, CRM, or job board you already run the business from. No re-keying.
Plus Jobber, Slack, Pipedrive, Zoho CRM, GoHighLevel, Monday.com, Microsoft Teams, Google Workspace, Outlook, n8n, Make, and 2,000+ more through Zapier. Calendar and app connections start on the Answer plan; deep two-way CRM sync is a Custom project. Don't see yours?Ask — most are a single step to connect.

A business that honors the Lord by making sure no small business loses a customer to an unanswered phone, starting with our neighbors in Middle Tennessee.
Volunteer AI builds AI phone receptionists that answer every call for small businesses: first here at home in Middle Tennessee, and for anyone, anywhere, who needs one. We serve the way we believe the Lord calls us to, treating every business owner as a neighbor, not a customer.
In practice, that means we would rather show you than sell you. Call our demo line and hear for yourself how it handles a call like yours. We'll recommend the plan that actually fits your business, even when it's the smaller one, and "no thanks" is always a fine answer. Beyond the phone, we also build websites and AI automation for small businesses, with the same approach and the same care. Our roots are local, and we love sitting down face to face with businesses around Nashville. But if you're farther away, we'll set everything up remotely and take care of you just the same. Every business we serve is a neighbor first.
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters."
