An AI answering line for contractors who can’t stop to pick up
When you’re on a roof, under a sink or mid-install, Pro’s AI answering line picks up. It’s a new local number answered by an AI voice assistant at any hour, business hours included. It takes each caller’s name, number, address and what they need, then emails you a summary so you can call back.
$297/month · No setup fee · 3-month minimum, then month-to-month · Your main business number stays exactly as it is

Live in a few steps
Choose Pro and complete your intake
We build your whole First Call System within 48 hours of your completed intake, including the AI assistant for your line.
Complete a one-time ID check
Phone carriers require a business owner to verify their identity once before a new business number can be issued. You do it in your own account with a photo ID and a live selfie. It’s free and usually completes within 24 hours.
Pick your local number
Choose a voice-capable local number in your account with our step-by-step guide. AES covers the number’s monthly fee.
You’re connected
Your AI line connects automatically, usually within an hour. Everything else in your system works from day one.
Clear limits, no surprise charges
- 500 AI call minutes per billing period are included. Each call can last up to 5 minutes.
- We email you at 80% and 100%. At 500 minutes, calls go to voicemail in your CRM until your billing date, then the line turns back on automatically.
- Need more? Add 250 minutes for $75 anytime. Minutes are only ever added when you choose.
- Texting on your AI number starts once A2P registration (the carrier texting registration) clears. AES covers the registration fees. You get 500 texts per billing period, then $0.07 each, and outgoing texts pause at 750 until your billing date.

Prefer something else? Reply to our email to take the full refund instead (if you reported it within 30 days of checkout), or to cancel with nothing more owed (if you reported it later).

AI answering line questions
Is First Call System an answering service?
Yes, with Pro. The AI answering line answers its own local number at any hour, within your included minutes, and emails you each caller’s details.
What does the AI ask callers?
Their name, phone number, address and what they need, so your callback starts with the details.
How do callers get on my schedule?
You call back and set the time, or customers pick a slot themselves on your online booking page, which only offers times inside your hours.
Will callers know it’s an AI?
The line is answered by an AI voice assistant, and we encourage you to say so on your website and card.
Do I have to forward my business number?
Forwarding is optional. Forward when you like, or list the AI number as an extra line.
Why is there an ID check?
Carriers require a one-time owner identity check before issuing a new business number. It’s free and usually completes within 24 hours.
Who pays for the phone number?
AES covers the number’s monthly fee.
What happens if I use all 500 minutes?
Calls go to voicemail in your CRM until your billing date, then the line turns back on automatically. You can add 250 minutes for $75 anytime.
