Home/AI Receptionist
AI Receptionist
The call gets answered. Even when you can't.
Adrective installs an AI receptionist that answers every inbound call, qualifies the caller, books the appointment, and drops the lead straight into your dashboard — at 2pm on a job site, at 9pm on a Saturday, on the call you'd otherwise have missed.
The leak
A missed call is a job that went to the competitor who picked up.
Most local service businesses lose more revenue at the front desk than anywhere else. The phone rings while the crew is on a roof, in a crawlspace, under a hood. It goes to voicemail. The caller doesn't leave one — they call the next name on the list. The industry benchmark for responding to a new lead is under five minutes; most owners are measured in hours. That gap is the whole game.
An answering service reads from a script and takes a message. Voicemail does nothing. A second front-desk hire is expensive and still goes home at 5pm. The receptionist Adrective installs does the actual front-office work — every hour of every day.
How it works
Four things happen on every single call.
It answers — on the first ring, every time
No hold music, no voicemail, no "we're closed." After hours, weekends, overflow when two calls come in at once — all of it gets a real conversation.
It qualifies the caller
Trained on your services, your service area, and your pricing logic, it asks the right questions and separates a ready-to-book job from a tire-kicker.
It books the appointment
Live access to your calendar means it schedules the job, confirms the details, and sends the caller away handled — not waiting for a callback that may never come.
It routes the lead to you
Every call, caller, and outcome lands in your dashboard — who needs a callback first, what they wanted, what the AI handled versus what needs a human.
What it is
Your own receptionist — branded, trained, and yours.
Every Adrective client gets their own version of Clovis, configured to their business. Not a shared bot. Not a script.
- Branded to your business and trained on your specific services, not a generic template
- A natural voice you choose — it never pretends to be human, and it never sounds like a chatbot
- Handles inbound, after-hours, weekends, and overflow when the lines are full
- Remembers returning callers and routes to a human the moment one is asked for
- Wires into your existing stack — Housecall Pro, Jobber, ServiceTitan, GoHighLevel, Salesforce, or custom
- Every captured lead visible in a dashboard built around how your business actually runs

Straight answers
The questions owners actually ask.
Will my customers know they're talking to AI?
Most won't. It speaks in a natural voice you choose, asks the right follow-ups, and never pretends to be human. The ones who notice don't mind — it's faster and more polite than a rushed front desk. If a caller asks for a person, it routes to your team or takes a message.
How fast can it go live?
The phone is typically live in 7–10 days. The full system — receptionist trained on your services and pricing, plus your site and follow-up flows — is installed in about 30 days. We don't ship something half-built to hit a faster number.
Do I have to switch my CRM or phone system?
No. We wire into what you already use — Housecall Pro, Jobber, ServiceTitan, GoHighLevel, Salesforce, or a custom build. If your stack works, we connect to it.
What does it cost, and am I locked in?
The audit is free. The receptionist is quoted to your call volume and how you want it trained — not a public sticker price that's wrong for half the businesses that read it. It's month-to-month after install, you own everything we build, and you can cancel any time with no exit fees. More on pricing →
