AI Phone Answering · by ZeroMiss, a Jazzed company
Your phone, answered on the second ring. Forever.
An AI receptionist for small business — it answers every call in your company's voice, qualifies the caller, books the job straight into your calendar, and texts back anyone you miss. It never takes lunch, never forgets the price list, and never lets a $2,000 job ring out to voicemail.
Everything an answering service does. Then some.
24/7 call answering
Nights, weekends, statutory holidays, and the exact moment you’re elbow-deep in a panel. Every call answered in under three seconds.
Direct calendar booking
The agent checks your real availability and books the estimate or service call on the spot — Google Calendar, Jobber, Housecall Pro, or whatever you run.
Missed-call text-back
If a caller hangs up early, they get an instant text: “Sorry we missed you — want to book a time?” Most book.
Caller qualification
Job type, location, urgency, budget signals — captured on every call so you walk into estimates already knowing the answer.
Instant human handoff
Emergencies and VIP callers transfer straight to your cell with a summary text. You stay in control of what the AI owns.
Transcripts & reporting
Every call logged and transcribed. A monthly plain-English report: calls answered, jobs booked, revenue attributed.

FAQ
AI receptionist, honestly explained
Will callers know they’re talking to an AI receptionist?
We disclose it tastefully and keep the voice natural — and in practice callers care about one thing: getting an answer and a booked time slot. The agent handles interruptions, accents, and rambling callers gracefully, and hands off to you instantly when a call needs a human.
How is this different from a virtual receptionist service?
A human virtual receptionist costs more per month, works set hours, and takes messages. An AI voice agent answers instantly 24/7, books directly into your calendar, texts back missed calls, and costs a flat fee that doesn’t grow with call volume.
What happens to calls the AI can’t handle?
They’re transferred to you (or whoever you choose) with a summary text of who’s calling and why. Every call — handled or transferred — produces a transcript you can read later.
Does it work with my existing phone number?
Yes. We forward your existing line — conditionally (only when you don’t pick up) or fully. Your number, your Google listing, and your trucks’ decals don’t change.
What does an AI answering service cost in Canada?
Our single-location agents are a flat monthly retainer starting in the hundreds, not thousands — setup, scripting, calendar integration, and monthly tuning included. Exact pricing depends on call volume and integrations; you get a firm number on the first call.
