Your phone rings. Catchdesk books the job.

The AI front desk for local service businesses. It picks up when you can’t, asks the questions you would ask, and only books when your rules allow it.

Trust

Callers get answers. You keep control.

Four things every caller asks, and what your front desk does with them.

Your prices

“How much for a drain cleaning?”

Answered from the services and prices you set. If you did not teach it, it does not say it.

Your intake

“My water heater is leaking.”

Written down as a clean record: who called, what they need, and how urgent it is. No garbled voicemail to replay twice.

Your rules

“Can I talk to a real person?”

Transferred the way you set it up. Step in on any call and Catchdesk goes quiet until you hand it back.

Your hours

“It's 9 PM. Are you open?”

Still answered. It knows you are closed, says so, and books tomorrow's work while you are off the clock.

You stay in control

Take over anytime

Step into any call or thread. The AI pauses until you hand it back.

Recording, your call

Call recording is a switch you own, on or off per your policy.

Block any number

Blocked callers never reach your line or your assistant.

Your data, yours

Review or delete what Catchdesk stores, any time you choose.

YOUR DAY

See the call the second it rings

Your whole week at a glance, and the second a call comes in it is live on your home screen.

LIVE CALLS

Catchdesk answers while you work

A real conversation, not voicemail. Listen in live or take over with one tap.

BOOKINGS

Jobs land on your Google Calendar

It checks your availability, books the slot, and texts the caller a confirmation. You just show up.

AFTER THE CALL

Every call, written down

Summary, recording, and transcript. Never guess what you promised a customer again.

UNIFIED INBOX

Every touch, one thread

Calls, texts, bookings, and everything Catchdesk sent, in one conversation per customer.

LEAD RECOVERY

Missed calls become leads

If a call does get away, Catchdesk texts them back on its own, before they try the next number on the list.

Setup

Live before your next coffee

It builds itself from your Google listing. You keep your number, hear it answer, and stay switched off until you say otherwise.

Find your business

Search your Google listing. Catchdesk builds your receptionist from it and tunes it to your trade.

Get your number

A local number is ready in seconds. The number on your truck and your listing does not move.

Hear it answer

Call it yourself before any customer does. It picks up, and you watch the booking land in the app live.

Forward your line

Flip forwarding on when you are ready, not before. From then on nothing rings out.

7 days free, cancel anytime. Your number never changes.

Pricing

Same front desk. Choose your volume.

Every plan is the whole front desk. The only thing that changes is how much call and messaging volume it handles each month.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How is Catchdesk different from a normal voice AI?+
Most voice AI answers the call and stops there. Catchdesk keeps the customer thread, the booking rules, the follow-up, and the next action connected after the call ends, so nothing has to be picked up by hand afterwards.
How long does setup take?+
Four steps, all from the app. You search your Google listing, get a number, call it yourself to hear it answer, then switch on forwarding when you are ready. No prompt engineering, and your existing number never changes.
What happens when the receptionist needs judgment?+
It hands the call to you instead of guessing. Custom quotes, emergencies, unclear requests, failed messages, and leads that go quiet all get surfaced for review rather than answered badly.
Can the receptionist book without the right details?+
No. Before an appointment is created, the booking flow checks the required details, your availability, your business hours, your blocked dates, and the customer's confirmation. If any of those fail, it does not book.
Does it work with my calendar?+
Yes, through Google Calendar. Booked jobs appear on the calendar you already use, and cancellations remove the event, so you are never running two schedules.
Can my team take over a text conversation?+
Yes. The thread stays open in the inbox, so anyone on your team can text manually, pause AI replies for that customer, call back, move the stage, or archive it. The AI stays out of the way until you hand it back.
How does billing work, and what happens after the trial?+
The trial is 7 days free and takes a card up front, so nothing breaks the moment it ends. Billing runs through Stripe, and you can cancel yourself at any time from the billing portal. The dashboard shows your plan, your usage, and what is left of your allowance, so a bill never surprises you.
Will it sound like my business or like a generic robot?+
Each trade gets its own receptionist with its own intake script, and on top of that your business adds its greeting, services, hours, voice, and the corrections you make. It gets more specific to you with every call.
Can a customer cancel an appointment by texting?+
Yes, and no AI is guessing at it. If a customer texts “cancel” or asks to cancel in their own words, the flow confirms which appointment they mean, then actually cancels it: the booking is marked cancelled, the calendar event is removed, and they get a clean confirmation back. No “I think I cancelled it”.
What if a customer tries to mess with the AI, asks for jokes, stories, or to ignore instructions?+
The receptionist is scoped to your business, not to being a chatbot. Off-task requests get one polite redirect (“I’m here to help with your business. What did you need today?”) and then it is back to the booking flow. No stories, no roleplay, no leaked instructions.
