Text agent

Some people will never call. Let them text.

A number your customers can text instead of dialing. It answers their questions, checks your real calendar, and books the appointment without anyone picking up a phone. Runs standalone or alongside voice, at every location.

The customer who won't call

Nobody wants to be on hold.

Every business has them. They're texting from a job site, a waiting room, or bed at 11pm. A phone call is the one thing they will not do, so today they text a competitor who answers. Give them a real textable business number you publish anywhere, and they text instead of calling.

  • A real textable number, no app, no form, no account
  • They text like texting a person, no hold music
  • The thread waits for them and picks up right where it left off
One brain, two front doors

Not a second system.

It's the same agent as your phone line with a keyboard instead of a voice, so answers never drift between channels. Same live availability, with your buffers, territories, and appointment types respected. Same knowledge base, so hours, service area, and pricing answers match everywhere.

  • Your real calendar, same as the phone agent
  • Your policies and pricing, one knowledge base
  • Calls and threads in the same place
Text does more than a call

Threads that breathe.

They can send a photo of the leak, screenshot an insurance card, or answer in the morning. Someone messages at midnight and replies at 7am, and the conversation continues with full context, no re-explaining. Every thread writes to your CRM with a transcript and summary, and real emergencies pull in a human immediately.

  • Photos and details, so your team shows up prepared
  • Threads continue with full context, no re-explaining
  • Logged to your CRM and escalated when it matters

Booked entirely over text.

A late-night message about a broken water heater. No call, no app, just a thread that gets it done.
