Ever wish your business could answer every call, follow up with every lead, and get more reviews — without you?

The jobs, not the software

What it replaces.

The same work a front desk, an office manager, or a late night of admin is already doing. Each job gets an agent that lives where that work already happens.

What do you pay someone to do all this? That’s just one of the agents.

One agent per platform

Meet your AI team.

Each one has a single job and a single place it lives. Open a card for examples an owner can picture. Nothing here posts, invoices, or replies until you say so.

Reports to You

You approve the work. The team handles the repeat jobs.

Examples
- A new inquiry lands at lunch. It labels the thread “new lead,” drafts a reply with your hours and a booking link, and leaves it for you to send.
- A vendor invoice gets filed with billing instead of sitting on top of customer mail.
- “Are you open Saturday?” gets a draft answer from the hours you already published.
Examples
- Missed call at 7pm? It texts back in seconds, answers pricing questions, and books the estimate.
- A caller asks “Do you serve North Raleigh?” It answers from your service area and offers two open times.
- After hours, it takes the name, the job, and the best callback number instead of sending them to voicemail.
Examples
- Someone wants a Tuesday morning estimate. It offers the open slots and confirms the one they pick.
- A booked job gets a reminder the day before.
- If a slot is already taken, it does not double-book it.
Examples
- A visitor asks what a basic job costs. It gives the range you approved and offers to book a look.
- “Where are you located?” gets your real address and hours.
- A question it should not answer becomes a note to you, not a made-up reply.
Examples
- A finished job sends a plain thank-you and a review link. No discount for five stars.
- A new Google review shows up. It drafts a reply in your voice for you to approve.
- It does not ask “how was it?” first, and it does not hide an unhappy customer from the public link.
Examples
- You finish a job and send one photo. It drafts a Facebook and Instagram post and waits for your approval.
- A quiet Tuesday uses an update you already approved, instead of leaving the feed blank.
- LinkedIn gets a plain note about a real project, not a generic announcement.
Examples
- A quote went out Monday with no reply. Thursday, it sends the short check-in you approved.
- A lead who said “call me next month” comes back on your list when that month arrives.
- You can see who is new, who was quoted, and who booked, without hunting through email.
Examples
- A finished job creates an invoice for the amount you set and emails it the same day.
- An unpaid invoice gets a reminder on the day you chose, in your words.
- When a payment lands, it marks the invoice paid so you aren’t asking twice.
Examples
- Monday morning: how many calls and form leads came in, who got a reply, and what is still open.
- It flags a lead that sat without a response longer than the target you set in the audit.
- You get one email, not a dashboard you have to remember to open.

Talk to one of them

Talk to it.

This is the phone and text agent, as a receptionist. Ask what a missed call at 7pm sounds like. It is a demo. It is not connected to your business.

Demo coming soon

The browser receptionist turns on when the demo assistant is connected. Until then, book a live one and I’ll show you the same conversation.

About 30 days

How a system gets built.

We build an agent for each platform in your business. The order is the work, then the software.

Week 0
Audit and shadow

I watch the real work with you: the calls, the inbox, the calendar, the way follow-up actually happens. We pick the platforms and write down one bottleneck.
Weeks 1–4
One agent per job

The build puts an agent on each platform your business already uses, plus the website. You see it working before launch.
Handoff
You own it

Training, the logins, and the system in your name. The Partner plan is optional after that. Cancel it and the system stays yours.

Starting prices, in writing

The offer.

Three steps. The audit is the way in. The build is the system. The monthly plan is optional.

Start here

Systems Audit

$750–$1,500

Credited toward the build

I watch the real work, name the platforms that need an agent, and write down one bottleneck worth fixing first.

A shadow session: screen-share the inbox, the phone, the calendar, and the follow-up you actually do.
A map of one agent per platform, only for the jobs your business really has.
One measured target, agreed before any build starts.

The audit fee comes off the build if you go ahead.

The build

Custom operating system

From $7,500

Larger businesses usually $15,000–$25,000

About 30 days. A branded system with an agent for each platform, plus a redesigned website. You keep it.

One agent per platform: phone, text, email, calendar, website chat, reviews, social, follow-up, billing, and a weekly owner report.
A redesigned website, included.
50% at kickoff, 50% at launch. Handoff and training are part of the build.

You own the system. Nothing here requires a monthly plan.

Request a build

Optional

Partner plan

$1,500–$3,000/mo

Only if you want someone watching it

Monitoring, changes, and new automations after launch. Useful. Not a lock-in.

Someone watching the agents and fixing what drifts.
Small changes as the business changes.
New automations when a job is ready for one.

Cancel it and you still own what we built.

Ask about Partner

One promise, one number

A narrow guarantee.

I don’t guarantee “more leads” or a revenue jump. I guarantee one bottleneck we measure before the build.

Written into the audit

If we don’t get your new-lead response time under the minute target we agree in the audit, your first Partner month is free.

The minutes are set for your business during the audit. TODO: Danny, keep that target in the audit notes. Don’t publish a single number here that wasn’t measured.

A straight price, before the sales call

What would this cover?

Check the jobs you want an agent for. The figure is the published starting range for the whole system, not a fee per agent and not a savings claim.

Proof

Zim Zoom.

A custom command center turned scattered tools and manual handoffs into one operating view. The preview uses simulated records. It is not customer data.

View the case study

Results

TODO: add only numbers Danny has approved for publication. None are shown here.

TODO: if the public Zim Zoom site was a WordPress-to-Astro migration, say that here. The published case study describes the operations command center, so this card does not claim a platform migration.

Testimonial

TODO: a client quote, with permission to publish. This slot stays empty until then.

Why local

See it before you buy it.

I’m in Raleigh. The shadow session is how the system learns your actual work. A template can’t watch you answer the phone.

More about Danny

In the room I’ll sit with you, or share the screen, and watch the task happen once before an agent is allowed to touch it.
A relationship, not a ticket You get me for the audit, the build, and the handoff. The work is not handed to a rotating inbox.
See it to believe it Talk to the demo. Then watch the agents on your own platforms before the final payment.

Questions worth asking

Before you book.

What do I actually own?

The website, the agents, and the accounts they run on are yours. The Partner plan is optional monitoring and changes. Skipping it, or canceling it later, does not take the system back.

Why one agent per platform?

One chatbot asked to run the inbox, the phone, the reviews, and the invoices gets vague. Each agent has one job and one place it lives, so you can tell what it did.

How long does the build take?

About 30 days after the audit. Week 0 is the shadow session. The next four weeks are the build. Then handoff and training.

What does it cost?

The Systems Audit is $750–$1,500 and is credited toward the build. A custom operating system starts at $7,500. Larger businesses are usually $15,000–$25,000, half at kickoff and half at launch. The optional Partner plan is $1,500–$3,000 a month.

Will reviews be gated or bought?

No. The reviews agent asks for a review and helps you reply. It does not hide unhappy customers, and it does not offer a reward for a star rating.

What if the result misses?

We write one measured target during the audit. The promise: if new-lead response time is not under the minute target we agreed, your first Partner month is free. The number of minutes is set for your business, not copied from someone else’s.

Can I talk to it first?

Yes. Use Talk to the demo on this page when the receptionist is connected. If that section says the demo is coming soon, book a live demo and I’ll walk you through the same conversation.
