    AI Receptionist for Small Business — Never Miss a Call or a Customer, 24/7

    You can't answer the phone while you're running your business — and every missed call is a customer who calls someone else. Dottie answers every call, books appointments, and captures leads 24/7, for a fraction of the cost of hiring.

    The Problem

    Why small businesses can't afford missed calls

    For a small business, the phone is the lifeline — but you're busy serving customers, on a job, or off the clock. Hiring a full-time receptionist is expensive, and voicemail doesn't convert. Every unanswered call is revenue handed to a competitor.

    You're too busy running the business to answer every call.

    A full-time receptionist is expensive and only covers business hours.

    Calls that hit voicemail rarely convert into customers.

    After-hours and weekend calls go completely unanswered.

    Live Example

    How Dottie handles a new-customer call

    1:10pm. You're with a customer and can't get to the ringing phone.

    CallerHi, I'm calling to see if you're available this week and what your pricing looks like.
    Dottie AIThanks for calling! I'd be glad to help you get scheduled. Can you tell me a bit about what you need, and what day this week works best for you?
    CallerSure — I need it done Thursday or Friday if possible.
    Dottie AILet me check the calendar — I can get you in. I'll grab your name and the best number to confirm, and send you the details. We look forward to taking care of you.

    Dottie answered while you were busy with another customer, booked the new job, and captured the lead — a customer won instead of lost to voicemail and a competitor.
