An AI receptionist that answers your phone, day and night.
Around 62% of small-business calls go unanswered. Anchor picks up on the first ring, every time — nights, weekends, and lunch rushes included — and turns those calls into booked appointments.
Anchor answers instantly and handles the whole conversation, not just a menu.
- Answers 24/7 in a natural voice with your business name, services, hours, and pricing.
- Books appointments straight onto your Google Calendar with real availability — no double-booking.
- Sends the caller a text and email confirmation, and sends you the details (name, phone, service, time, age for class bookings).
- Qualifies leads, captures callbacks, and warm-transfers to your team when a human is needed.
A phone receptionist built on the same conversational AI we run on live business lines today. It is our flagship product, and where most engagements start.
Confirmations go to the caller by text and email the moment the appointment is booked, and the details land with you at the same time.
What you get
24/7 call answering
First-ring pickup at 2 PM or 2 AM — no hold music, no voicemail.
Real calendar booking
Reads live availability and writes confirmed appointments to your calendar.
Booking confirmations
The caller gets a text and email confirmation the moment it is booked, and you get a new-booking alert with the details.
Lead qualification
Asks the questions you care about and captures name and number on every call.
Warm transfer
Recognizes when a caller needs a person and connects them to your line.
Call summaries
Every call logged and summarized so you can skim your day in a minute.
Native CRM & booking connectors
Follow Up Boss, HubSpot and Square, built against each vendor's own API rather than routed through Zapier. The caller is matched or created as a contact, the lead recorded, and the conversation attached as a note. Where a client's book lives in Square, the appointment is written into Square instead of a calendar, re-checked against Square's own availability first so a slot that filled mid-call is refused rather than double-booked. You connect your own account during onboarding.

Common questions
Will callers know it's AI?
It sounds natural and most callers just have a normal conversation. It never pretends to be a specific human, and it hands off to your team gracefully whenever someone asks for a person.
What happens on calls it can't handle?
It transfers to your number during business hours, or takes a detailed message and texts it to you instantly after hours. Nothing gets dropped silently.
How does it know my business?
We build its knowledge from your website, your service list, your pricing rules, and a short onboarding call. You can update anything anytime.
Does it work with my existing phone number?
Yes — keep your number and forward it, or we provision a new tracked line. Porting is also available.
