Answers every call, day or night
Callers hang up and call the next name they find on the list. Operator picks up, answers from your prices, and saves every caller.
Books the job while they are still on the line
When a caller wants to book, Operator checks your real calendar, offers open times and holds the one they pick, then texts the link.
Takes the deposit, not just a message
A message is a lead you still have to chase. Operator sends a real quote from your rate card and collects the deposit through Stripe.

Questions about Operator
What is an AI receptionist?
An AI receptionist is software that answers your business phone in a natural voice, answers callers’ questions and books appointments for you. Operator goes further than taking a message: it quotes from your own prices, holds a time on your calendar and takes the deposit, so the call ends as a paid booking.
Is Operator an answering service or a virtual receptionist?
Both jobs, done by AI. Like an answering service it picks up every call, day or night. Like a virtual receptionist it answers questions and books appointments. Unlike either, it quotes a real price from your rates and collects a deposit, so you get a booked job instead of a message to return.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Operator is free for 14 days and you do not need a card to start. You add a card when you claim your business line, and your plan starts when the trial ends; cancel before then and nothing is charged. If the trial ends without a plan, new inquiries pause and calls ring your own phone until you pick one.
Can I keep my number?
Yes. Forward your existing number to Operator whenever you want calls answered, all day or only when you miss them. Or use the business line we give you and put that number on your site.
What if I want to take over?
Any time. Take a live call on your own phone with one tap, or reply in a conversation yourself. Operator pauses the moment you step in and hands back only when you say so.
