An AI Receptionist that answers, qualifies, and books.
FoundOnline’s AI Receptionist answers calls 24/7, captures and qualifies leads, answers business-specific questions, books appointments, transfers calls when a person is needed, and follows up by text.
What the AI Receptionist handles
The full list of what it does on a call, and what happens after the call ends.
- 24/7 call answering
Answers calls 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
- Lead capture
Name, number, address and the job they are calling about, written down on every call.
- Lead qualification
Asks your qualifying questions and separates the real jobs from the price shoppers.
- Appointment booking
Checks live availability and books the slot while the caller is still on the line.
- Call transfers
Warm-transfers the calls that genuinely need a person, on the rules you set.
- SMS follow-up
Texts the caller a confirmation and texts you the details the moment the call ends.
- Customer questions
Answers what you offer, what it costs, where you work and when you can come out.
- Business-specific knowledge
Trained on your services, prices, service areas and how you want calls handled.
- CRM integration
Contacts, call outcomes and appointments written straight into your CRM.

Two-way sync, so it never double-books and never books you out of hours.
- Call summaries
A written summary of every call, so nothing depends on remembering it.
- Call recordings
Full recordings and transcripts, searchable after the fact.
- After-hours coverage
The hours you are not open are the hours it matters most.
- Simultaneous calls
Answers every caller at once. Nobody waits in a queue during a rush.
It is not a staffing problem. It is a coverage problem.
You already paid to make that phone ring — the ranking, the ad click, the review that convinced them. Then it rings while you are under a sink, on a roof, or asleep. Most callers do not leave a voicemail and do not ring back. They call the next listing, and nothing in any report will ever show you that call.
From the call to the next business action.
Every step from the call to the calendar invite, and every one you want to change along the way.
- Step 1You tell us how calls should go
Your services, your prices, your hours and service areas, and what should happen on a call you would want handled differently. We work through this with you during the initial consultation, not through a long setup form.
- Step 2We build it and test it
We configure the agent on all of that, connect it to your CRM and your calendar, and run real questions at it until the answers are right. It does not take a live call until they are.
- Step 3You forward your number
Every call, or only the ones you miss — your choice, and reversible in a minute. Your number does not change and nothing about how customers reach you changes.
- Step 4We keep it accurate
Every call is transcribed. We read them, fix anything it fumbled that week, and update it when your prices or service areas move. We track answered calls, qualified opportunities, appointments, transfers, and other outcomes tied to your business.
The right voice for every customer.
Pick a voice, set the script, start answering. Tone and pace are set per agent, and you can open a new market without re-recording anything. 16+ languages and natural accents.

Frequently asked questions
What is a voice agent, and how does it work?
It is software that answers your phone and holds a spoken conversation. It listens, works out what the caller wants, answers from what you have told it about your services and prices, and then does something — books the job into your calendar, takes the details, or passes the call to you. The caller just rings your number as usual.
How is this different from an answering service?
An answering service takes a message. This takes the booking. A human service also costs per call and works set hours; this answers every call at once, at 2am and during a rush, and writes the outcome straight into your CRM and calendar.
Is this a virtual receptionist?
It does the job virtual reception services are hired for — answer in your business name, take the details, book the appointment — and the job a business answering service covers after hours. The difference is that it is software: a 24/7 answering service with no queue and no per-minute meter, at a flat monthly rate.
Will it sound robotic?
It sounds like a person on a phone line, with natural pauses, and it can be interrupted mid-sentence the way a person can. You pick the voice and set the tone. Call it on (713) 528-8210 and judge it yourself rather than taking our word for it.
Will my customers know it is not a person?
Some will, and it matters far less than being answered. The alternative is a voicemail most callers will not leave. It never claims to be a specific person, and it hands off to you when a human is genuinely needed.
Do I have to change my phone number?
No. You keep your number and forward it, or forward only the calls you miss. Nothing about how customers reach you changes, and you can turn the forwarding off whenever you want.
What happens if it does not know the answer?
It is bounded to what you have given it and told to escalate rather than guess. Every call is transcribed, so anything it fumbles gets corrected in the configuration that week.
Does it answer on my website too, or only the phone?
Both. The same agent sits on your website and answers typed or spoken questions there, so a visitor at 11pm gets an answer and books instead of leaving. It is the same script and the same calendar behind it.
Which businesses is this a fit for?
Businesses where unanswered calls mean lost revenue, including home services, dealerships, repair shops, medical and dental practices, professional services, retail, and other appointment or lead-driven businesses.
Can it take a payment or card details?
No. It books and captures details. Card numbers are never collected on the call.
Does it replace my office staff?
No, and we would not sell it that way. Most businesses run it as overflow and after-hours, so the office keeps the calls it can take and nothing rings out at 7pm or on a Sunday.
Who sets it up and keeps it accurate?
We do. You give us your services, your prices, and how you want calls handled; we build it, test it against real questions, and update it when your prices or service areas change. You are not learning another tool.
How long until it is live?
Implementation includes the agent build, call handling, CRM and calendar connections, and testing before the agent takes a live call. We agree on the go-live date before implementation begins.
Who builds and runs it?
We do. We configure it on your services and prices, connect it to your CRM and calendar, keep it tuned as things change, and track answered calls, qualified opportunities, appointments, transfers, and other outcomes tied to your business. You get one number to call and one team accountable for it, not another tool to run.
What does it cost?
It starts at $1,500 to set up and $500 a month, and we quote from there on your call volume and how much you want it handling. Voice AI always has both: the setup gets it built and trained on your business, and the monthly covers the infrastructure and the call minutes it runs on. It needs both for as long as it is answering your phone. Month to month, no long-term contract.
