Shared business phone system where your team and AI agents work together
Give a whole team one business number with shared access to calls, voicemails and text threads, so nobody double-answers a customer.
An AI agent answers incoming calls when the team is unavailable, collects the key details, and routes the conversation to a human when needed.
Recorded calls are transcribed and summarized automatically, removing manual note-taking and making follow-up easier.
Connect Claude, ChatGPT or your own agent to call and message data through one-click integrations, a public MCP server and an API.

24/7 AI receptionists plus trained human agents for calls, chat, and intake
AI handles routine answering and intake at low cost, while trained human agents step in for complex, high-value, or requested conversations.
Intake flows are built per practice area or service type so the right qualifying questions are asked for each caller and matter.
Consultations are scheduled while the caller is still on the line rather than through a slow call-back loop, which raises booking rates.
Transcripts, summaries, intake fields, and action items are pushed to your CRM and team inboxes automatically after every interaction.
