What happens in the demo

Our team asks Colin to act as an auto shop’s front desk, then calls as a customer with an AC problem. Colin asks about the visit and offers a morning window. The team explains how a connected booking system, calendar and call summary support that workflow. Booking and notifications depend on the systems and rules connected during setup.

Straightforward pricing

One monthly price. Our team does the setup.

  • We build and test Colin around your business before he takes a call
  • You keep your number. Forward it all the time, or only when you can't pick up
  • Six-month launch period, then month to month. A second language is $99 a month

We’re in Spring. Is there anything open today?

I’ll check the approved schedule. Is the system making any unusual noise?

More than an AI receptionist

Colin is an AI employee, not a phone bot.

He answers, sells, books and follows up. And every call shows you what your marketing is really doing.

Sells

He sells, gently.

Most callers are ready to buy. Colin answers price questions value first, suggests the right service and asks for the booking, like your best front-desk person on a good day.

Books

Books the job, not just a message.

A message means calling back someone who's already hired somebody else. Colin books real appointments on your calendar, by your rules: a service call, a haircut, a table, a tour.

Tracks

Knows which ad made the phone ring.

Most owners can't tell which ads bring calls. Every call is tied to the ad, page or search that brought it, so you put your money where it works.

Follows up

Nothing slips through the cracks.

When a caller needs a person, Colin transfers them with the details or books a callback for the time they pick. Your team gets a summary in seconds and a follow-up task for every call.

Reports

You see every call.

A dashboard of every call, what callers wanted, and the hours your phones would have gone unanswered without him.

Team

Built and tuned by people.

Our team writes Colin's playbook around your business and tunes him from real calls. He runs on top-tier AI, takes several calls at once, and can speak a second language.

Booking, transfers and hot-lead alerts come with Colin Front Desk, Fortavo Front Office and Spaces Operations.

What kind of business?
Straight answers

The short version.

What is Colin?

Colin is our AI receptionist, and more like an AI employee than a phone bot. He answers your business's phone 24/7, answers common questions, gently sells, takes messages and sends a summary of every call. Every call is tied to the ad, page or search that brought it, and you see every call on a dashboard. On Colin Front Desk he also books real appointments on your calendar (a service call, a haircut, a table, a tour), transfers calls that need a person to your team with the details, creates a follow-up task for every call and alerts you to hot leads. He runs on top-tier AI, not a budget model, takes more than one call at the same time and can speak a second language for $99 a month. Prefer a female voice? Choose Claire instead. Our team builds, tests and tunes your agent for your business, and you keep your phone number.

How much does an AI receptionist cost?

Colin starts at $299 a month plus a one-time $299 setup, with 200 minutes a month and $1.50 a minute after that, never more than Colin Front Desk would cost. Colin Front Desk is $499 a month plus $499 setup for 1,000 minutes a month (then $1 a minute), call transfers, hot-lead alerts, HubSpot and Slack. Setup is done for you by our team.

A few fair questions

Before you sign up.

Is Colin a recording?

No. Colin is a live AI voice agent. Call him and ask your own question. If a caller asks whether he's AI, he tells them honestly.

What happens when somebody needs a person?

Colin follows the handoff rules we set up with you and sends human-needed calls to your own staff, with the context he collected. After hours, he books a callback at the time the caller picks.

Can Colin book every call?

Only when an approved calendar and booking rules are connected. Otherwise he captures the request or hands it to your team.

What does setup include?

We gather your services, hours, service areas, common questions, calendar rules and handoff preferences. Then our team builds and tests the call flow with you before Colin goes live, usually within a couple of business days.

Is there a lower-priced plan?

For very small businesses, Colin Lite is $299 a month plus a one-time $299 setup, with 200 minutes a month, $1.50 a minute after that, and no booking, transfers or alerts. Most businesses are better served by Colin Front Desk: $499 a month with 1,000 minutes, then $1 a minute. Either way it's done for you: we learn how your business handles calls, build and test your agent, then keep tuning it. You don't get a login and a to-do list.

Am I locked into a contract?

There's a six-month launch period while we build and tune Colin around your business. After that it's month to month. The one-time setup fee is separate from the monthly managed call coverage.

Can I have a female voice?

Yes. Choose Colin or Claire. Same AI receptionist, same setup and price, and we tune whichever you pick to sound right for your business.

Do I keep my phone number?

Yes. Forward your existing number to Colin, all the time or only when you can't pick up. Or use a new number from us.
