The call you miss is the job you lose.
Most service businesses lose work the same way: the phone rings while you’re under a sink or on a roof, it goes to voicemail, and the caller dials the next name on the list. An AI receptionist answers that call — and your website chat, your texts, and your DMs — from facts you approve, captures who it was and what they needed, and hands the conversation to you. $297/mo + $500 setup. Set up by us, run by you.
Live demo Let Tessa put on your company’s hat.
She’ll ask for your company name and website, then demonstrate how an AI receptionist could greet and qualify a customer for your business. You can also ask what Shockwave charges or how setup works.

What is an AI receptionist?
An AI receptionist is software that answers your business’s incoming calls, website chats, texts, and social messages the way a front-desk person would — answering common questions from facts the owner approved, capturing the caller’s name, number, and what they need, and handing the conversation to a human when it doesn’t know or when the situation calls for one. It runs 24/7, so the calls that arrive after hours or mid-job get an answer instead of a voicemail.
The part that matters isn’t that it talks. It’s that it knows where it stops.
Four places your leads go cold
Your phone
It picks up when you can’t — after hours, on a roof, three jobs deep. It answers what you’ve told it to answer, gets the caller’s name, number, and what they need, and texts you the lead.
Your website
The chat on your site stops being a dead form. It answers hours, service area, "do you do emergencies," "do you work on my kind of job" — instantly, from facts you approve.
Missed calls
A call you couldn’t take gets a text back in seconds instead of becoming a voicemail nobody hears. Most people who don’t get an answer just call the next company.
Facebook & Instagram DMs
The messages piling up unread in your business inbox get answered and captured too — on the channels you’ve connected and approved.
Phone, chat, text, and social all run on the channels you’ve connected and approved during setup — we turn on what you actually want answered, nothing else.
What it won’t do
- It doesn’t improvise. It answers from the facts you approve during setup. Ask it something outside that and it says so, then hands the conversation to a person — it does not invent an answer about your business.
- It doesn’t quote custom work. No made-up prices, no promises on scope, no commitments in your name. Anything that needs your judgment gets routed to you.
- It doesn’t replace your team. It handles the routine front-desk traffic so the calls that need a human reach a human faster. Sensitive, urgent, angry, or high-value conversations are escalated, not absorbed.
- It isn’t for regulated advice. No medical, legal, or emergency-dispatch use. We build marketing front desks for service businesses — that’s the honest boundary.
We won’t tell you it never misses a call or that it replaces your staff. It handles the routine load and escalates the rest — that’s the honest description, and it’s the one we’ll hold ourselves to.
What it costs
$297/mo
+ $500 one-time setup · month-to-month
- Built and trained on your business, by us
- Phone, website chat, text-back, and social DMs — the channels you approve
- Booking on your calendar once your rules are set and approved
- A monthly front-desk report of what it actually handled
- Available on its own or with any tier · private CRM lead inbox included
That covers normal front-desk volume for a local service business. If your call volume is genuinely high, we’ll say so before you sign and quote it honestly — we don’t bury usage charges in an invoice. Standard phone and text carrier charges can still apply to your number.
Test the browser demo above
The Talk to Tessa block on this page is the live browser demo path — not a staged video and not a generic site chat bubble. Once it renders a working voice control, you can ask it real questions and see how it handles what it knows, what it does not know, and what should go to a person.
Want to hear it answer a phone instead? Call (559) 530-2408 and we’ll walk you through what it would say for your business.
