    Works inside the tools you already use

    Why now

    Most small businesses use AI. Few have it working

    Owners have tried the chat apps. The value comes when AI answers your customers and does your follow-ups, and that takes setting up.

    66%

    of US small businesses now use AI, up 8 points in a year.

    The right AI staff for your business

    Every trade loses customers in a different place. Here’s where we usually start.

    Fill the chair, not the voicemail

    Most clinics lose new patients on the phone and in DMs while the front desk is busy. Start with the receptionist, then add reminders and review requests.

    • AI receptionist for bookings and after-hours calls
    • WhatsApp agent for questions and reschedules
    • Reminders and review requests after each visit
    • HIPAA-conscious setup with signed BAAs

    A day with your AI staffExample

    1. ReceptionistBooked a new patient for Thursday at 9:00
    2. Chat agentMoved a check-up by WhatsApp
    3. AutomationsAsked today’s patients for a review
    4. ReceptionistNight-time toothache: put through to the on-call dentist

    Keep the chairs full while your hands are busy

    Calls and DMs come in mid-appointment. Let AI book, rebook and remind, and keep your feed fresh with posts of your real work.

    • Bookings by phone, WhatsApp and Instagram
    • Reminders, deposits and rebooking nudges
    • Posts and reels in your salon’s style
    • Review requests after every visit
    Plan it for my business

    A day with your AI staffExample

    1. ReceptionistBooked a cut and colour for Saturday
    2. Chat agentAnswered a price question on Instagram
    3. AutomationsFilled a cancellation from the waitlist
    4. SocialPosted the reel you approved

    Book the next job while you’re on this one

    You can’t answer the phone up a ladder. AI takes the call, books the job, chases the quote and asks for the review when you’re done.

    • Receptionist with emergency transfer to whoever is on call
    • Missed-call text-back and quote follow-ups
    • Invoice reminders with a pay link
    • Review requests after every job
    Plan it for my business

    A day with your AI staffExample

    1. ReceptionistBooked an AC tune-up for Tuesday
    2. AutomationsFollowed up a quote sent on Monday
    3. AutomationsInvoice paid after one reminder
    4. ReceptionistBurst pipe: live transfer to the on-call plumber

    Answer the phone during the rush

    Reservations, menu questions and delivery enquiries arrive at peak hours. AI handles them while your team stays on the floor.

    • Reservations by phone and WhatsApp
    • Menu, hours and dietary questions from your own info
    • Daily specials posted to Instagram and Google
    • Replies drafted for every new review

    3. Chat agentSent the takeaway link on WhatsApp
    4. AutomationsDrafted a reply to a new Google review

    Sell at 2 a.m. without being awake

    Shoppers message from your ads at midnight and buy from whoever answers. The chat agent answers with the product and the checkout link.

    • WhatsApp and Instagram agent connected to Shopify or WooCommerce
    • Order status answered without a human
    • Product posts and reels made from your catalogue
    • A morning brief of sales and enquiries

    2. AutomationsMorning brief: 12 orders, 3 enquiries
    3. Chat agentAnswered a Roman Urdu voice note
    4. SocialPosted a product reel

    Every enquiry qualified before it goes cold

    Buyers and tenants contact several agents at once. AI answers first, qualifies them and books the viewing.

    • Portal and ad leads answered at any hour
    • Leads scored Hot, Warm or Cold
    • Viewings booked into agents’ calendars
    • Listing posts and reels every week

    4. Chat agentAnswered an Arabic enquiry in Arabic

    Every new client answered, never with advice

    Professional firms lose new clients to slow first replies. AI handles intake, books consultations and keeps your inbox moving.

    • Phone and chat intake that never gives advice
    • Consultations booked with the right person
    • Onboarding emails, forms and folders automated
    • Thought-leadership posts on LinkedIn

    From first call to working AI staff

    You tell us how your business runs. We do the building, and you approve before anything talks to a customer.

    STEP 01

    Free strategy call

    We find where you lose customers or hours today, and pick the AI staff that fixes that first.

    We set it up

    We train it on your business, connect your phone, inbox, calendar and tools, and write the rules with you.

    STEP 03

    You test it

    Call it, message it and try to trip it up. Nothing goes live until you’re happy.

    STEP 04

    Live, and improving

    It goes to work. Every month we review what happened and make it better.

    FAQ

    Answers to your questions

    Not sure where to start? That’s exactly what the free 30-minute call is for.

    What can AI do for a small business?

    The most useful jobs today are the ones that lose you customers or hours: answering the phone, replying on WhatsApp and Instagram, booking appointments, following up leads, asking for reviews, posting on social media, sending reminders and chasing invoices. We set up AI staff for each of these, trained on your business.

    Where should a small business start with AI?

    Wherever you lose customers today. If calls go to voicemail, start with the AI receptionist. If DMs wait until morning, start with the chat agent. If your feed is empty, start with social media. We’ll tell you which on the free call.

    How much does AI cost for a small business?

    Single services start at $149 a month for the AI receptionist, $299 a month for managed social media and $490 for a one-off automation. Bundles start at $349 a month. For comparison, a US receptionist’s median pay is $38,010 a year (BLS).

    Will AI replace my staff?

    It takes the repetitive work off them: the same questions, the after-hours calls, the reminders and the data entry. Your people handle the customers and decisions that need a person, and AI hands those to them with the context.

    Do I need to be technical?

    No. We do the setup, connect your tools and write the rules with you. Your part is a strategy call, a test session and approving things like posts and sensitive replies.

    What if the AI gets something wrong?

    It answers from your information, hands tricky conversations to a person and asks before anything sensitive. Everything is logged, so we can see what happened and fix it, and we review every service monthly.

    Do you work with businesses outside the US?

    Yes. We work with small businesses in the US, UK, the Gulf, Pakistan and beyond, in English, Urdu, Arabic and many other languages.

    Can I start with one and add more later?

    Yes. Each AI staff member works on its own, and the business information we gather for the first one is reused for the next, so adding more is quicker.
