Conduit
The AI front office that never sleeps — answers every call 24/7, books the job, and texts missed callers back.
The story
Overview
Conduit is an AI-powered receptionist designed specifically for service businesses that rely on phone calls. It answers incoming calls 24/7 on your behalf, handles appointment booking by checking real calendar availability, and automatically texts missed or abandoned callers back within seconds to prevent them from calling competitors. The system recognizes returning customers by phone number, escalates genuine emergencies to a human immediately, and filters out spam and robocalls. Every morning it sends a briefing of calls answered, jobs booked, and items needing your attention. The AI discloses itself at the start of every call and never quotes prices, keeping sensitive business decisions in your hands. Setup takes about 30 minutes and requires only forwarding your existing phone number; calls can be answered the same day.
