Santa Cruz · AI & automation for local business
Never miss a client, even at 9pm on a Tuesday.
Missed-call text-back, after-hours phone answering, and appointment booking that runs itself — set up for your business by a Santa Cruz owner who runs these same systems on her own companies.
- Missed calls get an instant text back, so the caller books instead of calling your competitor
- After-hours calls answered and appointments booked while you're off the clock
- Reminders and no-show follow-ups sent automatically, in your voice, with your approval
85% of callers who reach voicemail never call back. For a business where one booking is worth $150 or more, one saved call can pay for the whole month.

What it actually does
The front-desk jobs you can't staff, handled.
No dashboards to learn, no content slop, no robot pretending to be you. Just the front-desk jobs you can't staff, handled.
Text-back
Missed-call text-back
Someone calls while you're with a client — they instantly get a text: "Sorry we missed you, want to book?" The lead stays yours instead of going to the next listing.
After hours
After-hours answering
Calls and texts get answered at 9pm, on weekends, and over lunch — questions handled, appointments booked, urgent things flagged to you.
Booking
Booking, reminders & no-show recovery
New inquiries get booked, everyone gets reminded, and empty slots get refilled with automatic follow-ups to past clients who are due back.
Reviews
Review requests on autopilot
After each visit or job, happy customers get a polite nudge to leave a Google review — steady stars, no awkward asking.
How it works
Start small, prove it, keep it only if it earns.
Start small, prove it on your own phone line, then keep it only if it's earning its keep.

$297–$497/moBeyond the front desk
Really, I build whatever your business needs automated.
The phone is where most people start, because it's the easiest leak to see. But I'm not a receptionist vendor — I build custom AI systems for local businesses: lead capture and outreach, marketing, scheduling, internal operations, whatever's eating your time. Same approach every time: set it up, prove it on your own numbers, keep it only if it earns.
Content, handled
Your marketing, run for you
Weekly posts and emails researched, drafted in your voice, and scheduled — you approve everything before it goes out. The same engine I run for my own companies.
From $1,500 setup + $500/moEvents & catering
Event inquiries that answer themselves
For venues, breweries, and wineries: private-event and catering inquiries get answered the moment they come in — not a week later — and tastings get booked automatically.
$500 pilot on your events lineTraining
AI training for your team or group
Hands-on sessions for your staff, your organization, or your business group — how to actually use these tools, taught by someone who builds and runs them, not a slide deck.
Workshops & sessionsWebsite
A faster, modern website
When your site is the thing holding you back, a clean rebuild with booking built in — done at AI speed, for less than a traditional agency. Only when it makes sense, never the first thing I sell.

Who's behind this
A local Santa Cruz owner, not an agency.

Fair questions
FAQ
Is this the AI-slop stuff I keep hearing about?
No. This is operations automation, not content generation. It answers your phone at 9pm and fills your no-show slots. Anything a customer sees or hears is written in your voice and approved by you before it goes live — nothing public ever ships without your sign-off.
Will it sound robotic to my customers?
You can judge for yourself before buying anything — there's a live demo line you can call right now and hear exactly what your customers would hear. If you don't like how it sounds, don't buy it.
What does it cost? Are there long contracts?
Pricing is flat and published: a $500–$1,000 one-time pilot setup, then $297–$497 per month if you keep it. No long contracts — if it stops earning its keep, cancel it.
I already have online booking. Is this still useful?
Yes — if booking is covered, the leak is usually elsewhere: after-hours calls going to voicemail, no-shows eating your calendar, past clients who are due back but never rebooked, and reviews you're not asking for. We fix the parts you're actually missing, not the parts that already work.
Do I have to change my phone number or learn new software?
No. It runs on your existing business number, and there's nothing for you or your staff to learn — the point is to take work off your plate, not add a dashboard to it.
Who actually does the work?
One local person — the same Santa Cruz business owner who built these systems for her own companies. You'll always know exactly who set up your system and who to call when you want something changed.
Who builds AI receptionists and phone automation in Santa Cruz?
A local Santa Cruz operator who builds and runs these systems on her own businesses — not an out-of-state agency or a rented location page. You can meet in person, and you can call a live demo line and hear a system work before you buy.
How much does an AI receptionist cost for a small business in Santa Cruz?
A one-time setup pilot runs $500–$1,000, then $297–$497 per month if you keep it. Pricing is flat and published, month-to-month, with no long contracts. Website rebuilds and content automation are priced separately and only offered when they make sense.
Besides answering the phone, what else can you automate for my business?
Content and email marketing run in your voice with your approval, event and catering inquiry handling for venues, review requests, no-show recovery, and a modern website with booking built in. There are also hands-on AI training sessions for teams and local business groups.
