The problem in Gaithersburg
Small businesses in Montgomery County miss a large share of their inbound calls, most of them during the lunch rush, after 5 p.m. and on weekends. A missed call is rarely a lost voicemail; it is a lost job, patient or booking. Hiring a second front-desk person costs roughly $38,000 to $50,000 a year in Maryland before benefits, and still leaves nights and weekends uncovered.

Homeowners here live in a mix of townhomes, 1970s–1990s single-family subdivisions and newer neo-traditional neighborhoods, and the medical, dental and restaurant businesses along the corridor serve customers in many languages.

Frequently asked questions
Will callers know it is an AI?
Yes if they ask, and we recommend telling them. The voice is natural and the receptionist introduces itself by the name you choose. Most callers care about getting an answer, not who gave it.
Does it work with my current Gaithersburg phone number?
Yes. Your number stays with your carrier. We set up conditional forwarding so the AI answers only when you do not, or full forwarding if you prefer every call answered by the AI first.
What happens with emergencies or angry callers?
You define transfer rules. Words like "emergency", "pain" or "flood", or a caller asking for a person, trigger a live transfer to the number you choose, with a text summary sent at the same time.
Can it answer medical or legal questions?
It answers only what you train it on: hours, services, insurance accepted, directions, pricing ranges and intake questions. It never gives medical or legal advice and says so politely.
How long does setup take?
About one week: we collect your FAQ and calendar details, build and test the receptionist with you, then switch forwarding on. You can change the script any time.
Is there a contract?
No. $197 a month after a 14-day FREE trial, cancel anytime. The CRM plans are month to month as well.
