Let’s talk
FREE · FOR GARAGE DOOR COMPANIES

Hear your garage door company answer the phone.

A door stuck open at night is a call that goes to whoever answers. Type your website, and in about a minute you can call a phone assistant built from it: it answers as your company and takes the job while your techs are out.

Built for home-service businesses: plumbing, heating and air, electrical, roofing and the like. It only knows what your website says, and it isn't connected to your phone.

The garage door calls that go to voicemail

  1. The door stuck open at night

    The car is inside and the house is open. They want someone now, and they call down the list.

  2. The broken spring before work

    The car is trapped and they're late. The company that answers first is usually the one they book.

  3. The new door or opener quote

    Planned work, compared between companies. The ones who answer get the first conversation.

How it works

  1. We read your website

    Your services, the towns you cover, your hours and the work you don't do. Nothing is guessed: what your site doesn't say, it doesn't say either.

  2. You call it, like a customer would

    It answers with your business name, asks what the job is and where, takes a name and a number, and never gives a price or promises a time.

  3. If you like it, we set it up for real

    On the calls you miss, with your own questions and hours. You try it on real calls first, and only pay if it does what we agree.

What it handles, and what it hands to you

It handles

  • Answers with your business name, any time the call reaches it
  • Says which services you do and which you don't, from your website
  • Checks the town against the towns you cover
  • Asks what the job is, where, and when they hope to start
  • Takes a name and a callback number, and reads them back

It hands to your team

  • A danger, like a gas smell, sparks or water near wiring: safety words first, then a message to your team
  • Anyone asking for a price, a date or an arrival time: it never gives one
  • Complaints, bills and payments
  • Callers who ask for the owner or a person
  • Large commercial or town jobs

Questions

Will it give the price of a spring repair?

No. It says the team will go through the price, and takes the details. Prices stay with you.

Can it tell the caller when a tech will arrive?

No. It can't see your schedule, so it marks how soon they need it and your team calls back.

Does it know which openers and doors we install?

It knows what your website lists. When we set it up for real, we add the brands, models and questions you get most.

Is it connected to my phone?

No. It's a first version you call from your browser. Nothing reaches your customers, and nothing gets booked.

What does it cost?

Building and trying it costs nothing. If you want it on your real calls, we tell you the price on a short call, after you've heard it.
