The problem

You can't answer the phone from under a sink

Callers with an urgent job rarely wait for a call back — they dial the next company on the list.

Voicemail & missed calls

  • Caller hangs up and calls a competitor
  • You play phone tag between jobs
  • No one picks up after hours or on weekends
  • Emergencies wait until you check messages

With Meet FrontDesk

  • Every call picked up on the first ring
  • Jobs booked into open calendar slots
  • Answers 24/7, including holidays
  • Emergencies transferred to you instantly
What it does

Your best hire never sleeps, never eats, never quits

Trained on your services, prices, hours and service area — and nothing else.

Books appointments

Checks your live Google Calendar availability and books jobs directly into open slots — no double bookings, no phone tag.

Answers questions

Quotes only the prices you approved. Anything else, it says the owner will confirm and takes a detailed message.

Takes messages

Every call ends with an email summary: who called, what they need, and their callback number.

Escalates emergencies

Gas leak? Burst pipe? Meet FrontDesk tells the caller to stay safe, tries to connect them straight to your phone, and alerts you either way.

Recordings & transcripts

Listen to any call, read the transcript, and see a summary in your dashboard. You're always in control of what your AI says.

Blocks spam for free

Robocalls and telemarketers get politely hung up on — and those minutes never count against your plan.

Website chat widget

A chat bubble for your own site that answers visitors from the same knowledge base — included on every plan.

Bilingual on Pro

Built responsibly

Your customers, handled with care

An AI that represents your business should be honest about what it is and careful with what it hears.

Never pretends to be human

Every call opens with a recording disclosure and the receptionist identifies itself as an automated assistant.

Never makes things up

It only states prices and services you've approved. For anything else it takes a message for you to confirm.

Your data, on a clock

Recordings are deleted automatically after 30 days (90 on Scale) and transcripts after 12 months. Delete any recording sooner, any time.

FAQ

Common questions from home service pros

Still wondering about something? Email support@meetfrontdesk.com.

Will callers know it's an AI?

Meet FrontDesk sounds natural and responds instantly, and it never pretends to be a human — calls open with a recording disclosure. What matters to your customers is that someone competent picked up, answered their question, and got them on the schedule.

Do I need to change my phone number?

No. You keep your existing number and simply set up conditional call forwarding — unanswered or after-hours calls roll over to Meet FrontDesk. It takes about two minutes and works with every major US carrier.

What if it doesn't know an answer?

Meet FrontDesk only states prices and services you've approved in your dashboard. For anything else it says the owner will confirm, takes a detailed message, and emails it to you. It is designed to never make things up.

What about real emergencies?

If a caller describes something dangerous — a gas leak, sparking wires — Meet FrontDesk first tells them to call 911 or their utility company if there's immediate danger, then tries to connect them straight to your phone and alerts you instantly, so nothing depends on you picking up in time.

What happens if I use up my minutes?

You'll get an email as you approach your allowance. You can add a one-time top-up pack or upgrade from your dashboard in a click. If you go past it, your receptionist switches to taking messages — every caller still reaches someone and you still get their details — until your plan renews.

Can I listen to the calls?

Yes. Every call is recorded (with disclosure), transcribed, and summarized in your dashboard, so you can review exactly what was said.

Is there a contract? How hard is it to cancel?

No contract. Cancel with one click in your billing portal — no calls, no retention scripts. You keep service through the end of the period you've paid for.
