You're on a job, hands full, phone buzzing in your pocket. That caller isn't leaving a voicemail — they're calling the next name on the list. The work was yours to lose, and a missed call is how you lose it.

Straight talk — here's why the setup fee is waived.
I'm Shawn. I build AI phone receptionists for local service businesses — the kind where the owner is the receptionist. Earlier this year I opened 5 founding spots and filled them. Those systems are live and answering calls right now.
The Vanguard Program is the next cohort of 5 — and there's a real trade in it. You get the setup fee, normally $1,197 to $1,497, waived entirely. I get to build alongside real operators: your feedback, your call data, your honest experience, before this rolls out at full price.
And if you've been burned before: your 14-day free trial doesn't start when we begin building. It starts only after your system is built, you've reviewed it, and you've told me it's ready. If it's not right, it never takes a live call.

"It's so amazing how it sounds like me, and she's so smooth at asking questions, giving answers, and booking appointments for me so I don't have to. Such a game-changer for my business."
Compliance, day one.
Every engagement includes a Master Service Agreement and a Data Processing Agreement at onboarding. US-based. You own your data.
Quick answers.
Does it sound robotic?
It's a natural, custom voice built to fit your business. Most callers can't tell.
How long does setup take?
A custom build typically takes about 1–2 weeks.
Is my data safe?
US-based, handled under a Data Processing Agreement, and you own your data.
What does it cost?
The Vanguard Program is $597/month with 300 AI voice minutes included ($0.32/min after that), and the normal $1,197–$1,497 setup fee is waived for the 5 Vanguard businesses. Your 14-day free trial starts only after your system is built and you approve it. Public pricing rolls out after the Vanguard cohort fills.
What happens after I apply?
You book a call the moment you submit. On that one call we check fit — and if it's there, we start your onboarding together right on the phone, so your build begins immediately.
Enterprise-Grade Security. Built In, Not Bolted On.
Your callers trust you with their information. We protect it with the same infrastructure standards used by regulated industries — handled quietly in the background so you never have to think about it.
Encrypted End to End
Every call, transcript, and record is encrypted in transit and at rest using industry-standard protocols. Your data is protected the moment a call connects through to when it's stored.
Audited Infrastructure
The platform runs on SOC 2 Type II audited infrastructure, independently verified against rigorous standards for security, availability, and confidentiality.
Isolated Per Business
Your data lives in its own logically separated space. One client's information is never commingled with another's.
Controlled Access
Role-based permissions and full activity logging mean only authorized accounts touch your configuration and call data — and every action is traceable.
Consent-Aware Call Handling
Call recording follows applicable consent rules automatically, adapting to regional requirements, with audit-ready logs of every interaction.
You Own Your Data
Your call data is yours. Export it anytime, and on offboarding we return or permanently delete it on your written request — per the terms in your DPA.
From the moment a caller speaks to the moment a booking lands in your calendar, your data moves through encrypted, access-controlled, independently audited systems. Privacy isn't a feature we added — it's the foundation we built on.
Want the paperwork?
Every founding partner receives a Master Service Agreement and Data Processing Agreement before go-live — clear terms on data ownership and handling, signed before your agent ever takes a call.
Our founding five filled. Five Vanguard spots are open.
Setup fee waived for 5 businesses, in exchange for honest feedback. When the fifth spot fills, public pricing rolls out.
