It rings mid-job
You are on a ladder, under a sink or driving. Picking up means stopping work. Not picking up means a stranger decides whether to try the next name on Google.
AI receptionist for the trades Live
Client Optimal sets up an AI receptionist that answers your business calls, takes the details and texts them to you. People you know and real emergencies go straight through to your cell. Sales calls never reach you.

Sound familiar
You can't run a job and a phone line at the same time. Something gives, and usually it's the caller.
You are on a ladder, under a sink or driving. Picking up means stopping work. Not picking up means a stranger decides whether to try the next name on Google.
By the time you are free, the caller has moved on, or you are playing phone tag with a voicemail that just says "call me back".
Sales pitches, robocalls and "quick questions about your Google listing" all ring the same phone as the burst pipe.
How it works
It answers first, so you can stay on the job. You only stop for the people you know and the calls that really need you, and you hear about every other one by text.
Example only. The real text uses what your caller said.
Same number on your truck and your Google listing. Calls forward to the receptionist, so nothing goes to voicemail.
Your number staysIt picks up for your business and asks what they need and how urgent it is. Your own contacts ring straight through to you.
Known callers skip itWho called, their number, what they need and how urgent. If it really needs you, it's passed to you right away.
Every call, by textThe rules it follows
It's built around your phone and your rules. It sticks to what you approve and hands the rest to you.
It works with call forwarding on the line you already have.
Callers hear that up front. It never pretends to be you.
It won't quote, promise a time or book a job unless you set that up.
Sales pitches and robocalls get a polite no and no text. Your phone stays quiet.
Questions
If yours isn't here, book 15 minutes and ask it. You'll get a plain answer, including when it isn't a fit.
It answers your business calls, says it is an AI receptionist, and gets the caller’s name, number, what they need and how urgent it is. Then it texts you the details. People on your own contact list ring straight through to you, urgent calls are put through to your cell, and sales calls get a polite no.
No. Your business line forwards to the receptionist, so the number on your truck and your listing stays the same. We confirm the forwarding with your carrier together, and you can switch it off at any time.
You decide what counts as urgent for your trade. Those calls are put through to your cell. If you can’t pick up, it texts you marked urgent. If a caller reports a gas smell, fire or someone hurt, it tells them to call 911 first.
Not unless that is set up and tested for your business. Out of the box it never quotes, promises a time or books anything. It takes the details so you can call back with the right answer.
Yes. It says so at the start of the call and never pretends to be you or a person.
The setup, the monthly support and any phone or provider costs are agreed in writing before anything goes live. Book 15 minutes and you will get a straight answer for your setup.
Recording, transcripts and how long anything is kept are set for your business before go-live, along with any notice your callers need. The browser demo on this site sends your voice to a third-party voice AI provider, so don’t share anything private in it.
