SarahHey. Thanks for calling ••• Appliance Repair. This is Sarah. How can I help you?

CallerHi, Sarah. This is ••• ••• I'm having trouble with my Bosch dishwasher, and I just wondered if your company repaired the Bosch's.

SarahLet me check if we service Bosch dishwashers. Yeah. We do repair Bosch dishwashers. Want me to help you get scheduled for a technician to take a look?

CallerYes. I would love to. How much do you charge for a service call?

SarahThe service call fee is $75. And if you go ahead with the repair, that amount gets applied to the total cost. Want me to get you on the schedule?

CallerOkay. Yes. I would love it.

SarahWe have a window today from 12PM to 3PM or 1PM to 4PM. Would either of those work for you?

CallerOh, yes. That will be fine.

SarahNice. I'll go ahead and book you for today from 12PM to 3PM. One moment while, yeah, I lock that in.

CallerOkay. Thank you.

SarahLet me pull up your confirmation details. You are all set for Thursday, April 30 between 12PM and 3PM. You'll get a text confirmation with your technician's name and photo, and they'll text you about thirty minutes before arrival. The service call is $75, and it gets applied toward the repair. Is there anything else I can help you with?

SarahHey. Thanks for calling ••• Appliance Repair. This is Sarah. How can I help you?

CallerHey, Sarah. I have the kind of, like, a leaking fridge in my townhouse, and I'm I'm in located in, like, the South End ••• area. And it it, like, will leak say that again.

SarahYeah. I got you. So your fridge is leaking in your townhouse in South End ••• Can you tell me a bit more where is the leak coming from? Like, is it inside the fridge, under it, or maybe from the back?

CallerSo, like, under it, and it's coming like, you can see it kinda puddling in the front. So it's, like, bottom bottom front of the fridge, and it will leak, like, you know, once every two weeks. This is, like, the probably the third time it's happened. It's not, a consistent flow.

SarahIt's actually helps. Yeah. Is your fridge still cooling normally, or have you noticed any changes with the temperature or ice buildup?

An honest answer, not a sales pitch

The caller wants a part, not a technician. Sarah checks, says plainly that we do not sell parts, and offers what she can.

SarahHey. Thanks for calling ••• Appliance Repair. This is Sarah. How can I help you?

CallerWell, yes, ma'am. I was calling. I saw, there was a website. I googled the model number and overnight delivery for parts. And I I don't know where you guys are at. I just I have a lot of questions and see if you guys have something in stock to where I could

Callergo ahead.

SarahLet me check on parts availability and overnight delivery for you. Yeah. So our techs carry the most common parts on their trucks, and about 80% of repairs are done on the first visit. If a part needs to be ordered, it usually arrives in one to three business days, but we don't offer overnight delivery for parts. Want me to check if we can get your part quickly and set up a service visit?

CallerWell, I I don't need a service visit. I could do it myself.

The problem

Missed calls are the most expensive line item you never see

Home-service customers don’t wait. They call down the Google results until a human — or Sarah — picks up.

Callers don’t leave voicemail

Most people with a broken AC or a leaking pipe hang up and dial your competitor. The job is gone before you hear the message.

After-hours is prime time

Emergencies, second-shift homeowners, weekend planners — a huge share of your best calls happen exactly when the office is closed.

One office, one call at a time

When the phone rings during a storm surge or a heat wave, every busy signal is a booked job for someone else.

Leads go cold in minutes

A web form or Yelp lead answered in five minutes is warm. The same lead answered in five hours is a price-shopping contest.

The short version

What is an AI receptionist?

An AI receptionist — also called an AI virtual receptionist, an AI phone receptionist or simply an artificial intelligence receptionist — is software that answers your business line with a natural voice and holds a real conversation instead of reading a menu. Where an automated receptionist of the old kind pushed callers through “press 1 for sales”, a conversational one listens, asks your qualifying questions, and finishes the job on the call.

Sarah 24/7 is that kind of AI phone assistant: she answers on the first ring, works as your front desk around the clock, and hands you a booked appointment rather than a message to return. She sits in front of whatever phone system you already use — keep your number, keep your carrier — and writes the result into your calendar and CRM. If you think of it as an answering service rather than a receptionist, the same product is described from that angle on the AI answering service page.

FAQ

AI receptionist: common questions

What is an AI receptionist?+–

An AI receptionist is software that answers your business phone with a natural voice, holds a real conversation with the caller, and completes the task — qualifying the job, booking the appointment, routing the call or taking a message. Sarah 24/7 is an AI virtual receptionist built for local and service businesses: she picks up on the first ring, at any hour, on as many calls at once as come in.

How does an AI receptionist work?+–

Your number points at Sarah instead of a voicemail box. On each call she follows the intake script we build with you — your services, service area, prices and rules — then writes the outcome where you work: a booked slot in your calendar, a job in Housecall Pro or GoHighLevel, a summary and a recording of the conversation. Nothing is DIY: we build and tune the setup for you.

Does Sarah answer calls 24/7?+–

Yes. Nights, weekends and holidays are standard — the 24/7 part is the point, not an upgrade. She also handles several calls at the same time, so a storm surge or an ad campaign does not produce a busy signal.

How much does an AI receptionist cost?+–

Sarah 24/7 starts at $350 a month, which includes one channel, plus usage from 15¢ per minute of conversation. Extra channels are $100 a month each. Setup is included and there are no long-term contracts — the full breakdown is on the pricing page.

How is an AI receptionist different from an answering service?+–

A traditional answering service takes a message and hands you a callback list. Sarah finishes the call: she qualifies with your questions and books into your calendar, so what reaches you is a scheduled job rather than homework. We go through this in detail on the AI answering service page.

What happens when a caller needs a human?+–

You set the rules — emergencies, big-ticket quotes, a customer asking for you by name — and Sarah transfers the call live to your team. If nobody picks up, she takes the conversation back and finishes it rather than dropping the caller into voicemail.

Does Sarah sound like a robot?+–

Judge that yourself — the three recordings on this page are real customer calls, with personal details beeped out and nothing else edited. She interrupts naturally, handles questions out of order and does not read a menu at people.

Is my customers’ data safe?+–

Calls are recorded, transcribed and stored so you can review them, and access is limited to your account. We do not sell or share call data. If your industry has specific compliance requirements, tell us before onboarding so we can be straight with you about what we do and do not cover.
