Tradies lose work every day to the calls they can't take. BackOnTools puts an AI receptionist on your existing number so every call gets answered, day or night. On each call it greets the caller as your business, works out the job and how urgent it is, quotes from your own price book, books a time that fits your calendar, and texts you the caller's name, address, issue and recording the moment the call ends. Around the receptionist sits a full job desk built for small trade businesses: jobs, quotes and invoices with Pay Now links, clients with full call history, expenses and GST/BAS, dispatch, safety forms, and Foreman, an AI coach that reads your week and flags who to ring back. Australian built and Melbourne based, with Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks and ServiceM8 integrations, an iOS app and a web dashboard on the same account. Plans from $99 a month, 14-day free trial, no lock-in.
Lisa is the digital phone assistant for dental practices, built by OralSync. She answers when the team can't: at opening time, over lunch, after closing, or when every line rings at once.
Rules set by the practice. Per appointment type, the practice decides what Lisa may book and in which slots. Within those rules she books, reschedules and cancels. Outside them, she hands over.
People for the hard calls. Urgent and medical questions go straight to the team. Lisa never gives medical advice and tells every caller at the start that she is digital.
Nothing lost at the desk. After a booking the patient gets an SMS confirmation. After every call the desk gets a short summary.
Same number. Calls forward from the practice's own line, so patients dial the number they already know. Lisa works alongside the practice software the team already uses, such as Exquise and Oase.
Built in the Netherlands for Dutch-speaking callers, on EU servers. OralSync is building the standard for how Dutch dental practices answer the phone, together with its first practices.
GrowOutly is calling software built for marketing and support teams that replaces the patchwork of dialers, CRMs, scrapers, email tools, and schedulers most sales orgs juggle. On the marketing side, reps can scrape Google Maps for dial-ready leads, power-dial the list with local caller ID and one-click voicemail drop, then follow up with automated SMS and email sequences — all without leaving one workspace. On the support side, inbound calls route to an available agent with full customer context on screen. Every interaction logs itself to a built-in CRM with pipelines, contact timelines, and notes, while a Google Calendar integration lets reps book meetings live on the call. A pre-dial compliance gate checks National DNC, State DNC, and known litigator registries in under 45 ms, blocking non-compliant numbers before they ever ring. For teams that need extra dialing capacity, GrowOutly also offers an on-demand network of vetted cold callers who work directly inside the platform. Plans start at $119/month with no setup fee.
Keep Booked is for UK small businesses that lose callers when they can't get to the phone: barbers, salons, plumbers, electricians, garages and the trades. When a call goes unanswered, the caller gets a text within seconds with the business's booking link, or "reply and we'll call you back", so they don't ring the next place.
Around that: a booking page that only shows real free times, per-person services and prices, confirmations and reminder texts that cut no-shows, Google review requests after each visit, voicemails written down (and, on Solo and Team, booked from), quotes sent from a phone and chased automatically, invoices and payment reminders, and an optional AI assistant that answers texts.
Businesses keep their own number and divert unanswered calls, or take a Keep Booked business number that rings their mobile. Setup is free self-serve (about ten minutes) or £49 done with you. Plans from £39 a month with texts included, no commission on bookings, no long contract, and 30 days to change your mind.

AnswerWren is an AI answering service built for home-service companies: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, garage door, pest control and roofing shops with one to thirty trucks. Forward your business line (or only your after-hours calls) and Wren picks up in under a second, 24 hours a day.
Wren answers only from the facts you teach it: hours, service area, services and prices, what counts as an emergency, your FAQs. When it does not know something it says the team will confirm, so it never invents a price or promises an arrival time. On every call it takes the caller's name, callback number, address and problem, flags emergencies to your on-call phone, offers arrival windows and books them, and emails you a two-sentence summary before the caller has hung up. A "what Wren got wrong" page turns any mistake into a one-click fix.
Flat monthly plans by talk minutes, everything included, no per-feature add-ons. Early access: the first 15 days are free, and Wren runs on a shared test line before you forward anything.

MEGA.AI is a deterministic voice AI platform for inbound and outbound customer calls in regulated industries, with a focus on lending and debt collection. It automates conversations such as right-party contact, identity verification (ID&V), promise to pay, in-call payments, disputes and the detection of vulnerable customers.
Unlike generative voice agents, MEGA.AI uses large language models only to understand what the caller says. Everything the agent says is wording the client approved before go-live, so each call follows the client's rules and can be audited step by step. Callers can ask for a person at any point, and calls that leave the approved journey or show signs of vulnerability are passed to a human agent.
MEGA.AI serves lenders, collection agencies, BPOs, banks, utilities, telecoms and insurers. It runs alongside the client's telephony and contact centre platform and connects to its systems through APIs. The company is certified to ISO/IEC 27001, 27701 and 42001, audited under SOC 2 Type II, and a supplier member of the Credit Services Association. Its PCI DSS assessment is in progress. A first journey typically goes live four to six weeks after contract.
PoolCRM is a pool service CRM built for one to ten truck pool companies by someone who ran one. It handles the part route software leaves out: getting the customer and keeping them.
Missed call text back: when a call goes unanswered, the caller gets a text from your business number within seconds, before they call the next company. New callers become a contact and a pipeline card automatically.
Quote follow-up: every quote gets a text or email on day 1, 3, 7, and 14 until the customer answers, then it stops.
Review automation: every customer is asked once for a Google review after the job, with a one-tap link. Weekly accounts are never nagged.
Also included: two-way texting from your existing number, website chat that texts you the lead, a lead pipeline, Google Business Profile messages in the same inbox, seasonal campaigns for openings, closings, and filter cleans, win-back messages for cancelled accounts, and reporting on missed calls, quotes, and reviews.
PoolCRM connects to Skimmer, Pool Brain, Jobber, and QuickBooks through Zapier and webhooks. Keep your route software. Add the phone layer.
Insight Dial is a pay-per-call platform for the people who send calls and the businesses that take them. Publishers give every campaign, affiliate and ad its own tracking number, with numbers that swap automatically on their website by traffic source. When a call comes in, Insight Dial checks blocked numbers, repeat callers, hours, daily caps and state rules, then routes it through a waterfall or runs a live auction where buyers bid while the caller waits.
Recorded calls are transcribed with speaker labels and one-line summaries. Every affiliate and buyer is graded Good, Watch or Poor from real call history, and sources sending too many short calls can be paused automatically. Each affiliate gets their own rate and portal, buyers see every call they received and what they were charged, and everyone can download statements.
Webhooks and an open API send events to any CRM or system, with alerts to Slack, Discord, Teams and WhatsApp. Insight Dial works with the phone provider you already use, in any country it covers, and supports white-label portals and two-step sign-in.

Riley is an AI receptionist for small businesses and trades. She answers your business phone when you can't: on a job, on another call, or after hours. Callers talk with her naturally. She finds out who they are and what they need, and writes it down, so no lead gets lost in voicemail.
If a caller asks for a real person, Riley tries to reach you right away; she never traps anyone in a loop. If you can't pick up, she takes their name, number and reason, and tells them you'll call back. She never promises a callback time she can't guarantee.
Appointment requests come to you to approve or decline, so you stay in charge of your schedule. Approved appointments go on your Google Calendar. You get a short summary of every call.
You keep your existing number: forward the calls you miss to Riley and your customers keep calling the number they already know.
