Questions

Before you call

Is Nora a real person?

No. Nora is an AI voice agent. She speaks naturally, asks one question at a time, and if a caller sincerely asks whether she is AI, she says so.

When does Nora answer?

On the after-hours schedule you set, such as nights, weekends, and holidays, and any time you turn on call forwarding. Daytime overflow, where your phone rings first and Nora takes only the calls you miss, is an optional add-on.

Do I keep my business number?

Yes. Your number forwards to Nora when you are closed. We set up the forwarding with you and show you how to turn it off.

How does booking work?

Nora books open slots on your calendar, inside the hours and job types you set. If a job needs you first, she takes the caller's best time for a callback instead.

What do I get after a call?

A summary of every after-hours call, sent to you by text or email: the caller's name, number, address, the problem, and the booked time or callback time. Robocalls and sales pitches are marked as spam.

What does it cost?

$297 setup, then $297 a month. No contract. Cancel anytime. That covers after-hours answering, calendar booking, and a summary of every after-hours call, sent to you by text or email. Add-ons are optional and priced on request.
