24/7 AI Receptionists & Business Automation for Service Businesses

Assist AI handles bookings, answers questions 24/7, and automates your front desk so you never miss a customer.

WHY ASSIST AI

More than an AI receptionist.

Most AI receptionists answer calls. Assist AI connects the conversation to the rest of your business — turning customer interactions into real actions, records, appointments, payments, follow-up, and automation.

Built Around Your Business

Assist AI is configured around your operation — including your conversations, business rules, workflows, routing, escalation paths, and integrations. It is not a one-size-fits-all receptionist.

From Conversation to Action

Assist AI can capture leads, check availability, schedule appointments, update customer information, collect payments, and trigger business workflows instead of simply taking a message.

CRM & Customer Memory

Customer records, interaction history, and relevant context stay connected so future conversations can be more informed, consistent, and useful.

Analytics & Call Intelligence

Call summaries, interaction history, lead information, and operational analytics give businesses visibility into what customers need and what their AI receptionist is doing.

Low-Cost Airtime

Assist AI includes monthly AI airtime and additional usage is only $0.10 CAD per minute, allowing businesses to scale call volume without punitive usage costs.

Built & Supported for You

Assist AI is implemented around your actual business processes. We configure and support the system instead of handing you another DIY AI tool to build and maintain yourself.

Canadian & Family-Owned

Assist AI is a Canadian, family-owned and operated company built around real-world business experience and supported by people who understand the businesses we serve.

Custom implementation, built around your operation

Assist AI includes a one-time custom implementation fee. Many comparison services use self-service subscription models with no mandatory setup fee. Even including Assist AI onboarding, the estimated first-year cost in this usage scenario remains approximately 21% lower.

Assist AI onboarding reflects custom configuration around the client’s operation, workflows, integrations, business rules, and customer experience.

More than voice: CRM, customer memory, call summaries, analytics, appointments, payments, custom workflows, and business integrations.

Illustrative comparison based on approximately 1,950 AI minutes per month. Leading AI receptionist average is based on publicly available pricing from a sample of established AI receptionist services, normalized to Canadian dollars and the same estimated call volume. Individual provider pricing, included usage, billing models, exchange rates, and actual customer usage vary.

Estimated savings are scenario-based and are not a guarantee of savings for every business.

BUILT FOR REAL BUSINESS OPERATIONS

AI that works inside your business — not beside it.

Assist AI connects customer conversations directly to the systems and workflows your team already uses. Answer inquiries, capture leads, manage appointments, and maintain customer context without adding another disconnected tool.

24/7 Customer Coverage

Handle customer inquiries around the clock, including evenings, weekends, and after-hours demand.

Integrated With Your Systems

Connect with calendars, CRM, communications, and business workflows so information moves where it needs to go.

Persistent Customer Context

Carry relevant information forward from previous interactions so returning customers don't have to start over.

Human Escalation When Needed

Automate routine interactions while maintaining a clear path to your team when human attention is required.

More than answering the phone.

Assist AI doesn't stop at having a conversation. It can turn customer interactions into actions across your business systems.

AUTOMATION WITH BOUNDARIES

Your business defines the rules.

Your Systems

Integrate with the tools your business already depends on.

Your Workflows

Automation follows defined business rules rather than improvising operational decisions.

Your Customer Experience

Define how your AI communicates, responds, escalates, and represents your business.
