Wenly
Wenly is a cloud-based AI receptionist and phone-answering service for small service businesses. It answers calls forwarded from a business number using business-provided service, pricing and service-area information, distinguishes urgent calls from routine inquiries, transfers emergencies to an on-call number, and filters spam and sales calls. After calls, it emails caller details, a summary, transcript and recording. The service is intended for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, garage door, towing, locksmith and real estate businesses that handle customer inquiries by phone. Plans include call-minute allowances; calendar booking is available on Starter and higher plans. Wenly also provides weekly reports and a website chat widget, while the Managed plan includes human lead review. Businesses can keep their existing phone number, and callers are told calls are answered automatically and may be recorded.

SwiftGuard
SwiftGuard is an AI receptionist for plumbing and heating businesses. When the plumber is under a sink or out on a callout, SwiftGuard answers the phone in the company's name, tells the caller it is an AI assistant, takes the caller's name, address and problem, and books the job into the connected Google Calendar based on real availability. A business chooses whether SwiftGuard answers every call or only the calls nobody picks up; forwarding is a short code dialled on the existing phone, so the business keeps its number. Callers can also move or cancel an existing appointment or leave a message, and every call lands in the dashboard with a recording, a transcript and the caller's details. Calls it cannot handle are flagged for a callback. The agent speaks English, Dutch, German, French, Italian and Spanish and switches language mid-call. Calls and transcripts are encrypted and deleted after 90 days. Three flat monthly plans include a bundle of call minutes with no per-minute charge.

KeptRing
KeptRing is an AI receptionist for home-service and construction contractors, including HVAC, plumbing, electrical and roofing shops. When a call to the business number goes unanswered, it answers, says it's an automated assistant, asks for the caller's name and callback number, and gathers the job details. It then emails the lead to the contractor right after the call. It doesn't book jobs or text callers. Pricing: Starter is $149 a month per line for 300 answered minutes, Pro is $249 for 600, and Crew is $449 for 1,200. That's about 100/200/400 calls a month if calls run about 2½ minutes. Extra minutes are $0.40 each. 14-day free trial on any plan with up to 250 answered minutes per line: $0 today, card at signup, cancel online. The first 10 paying customers get 20% off for as long as they stay.

Sorted Calls
Sorted Calls is a cloud-based AI phone receptionist for UK trades and other small businesses that cannot always answer incoming calls. It handles calls diverted from a business number, greets callers using the business name, and identifies itself as an AI assistant. During each conversation it gathers the caller’s details, the work requested and its urgency, then sends the business an email with a call transcript and a push alert so staff can follow up. The service is aimed at plumbers, electricians, roofers, cleaners, salons and similar small firms that want to capture enquiries while working, driving or serving customers. Plans include monthly call-minute allowances with per-minute charges above the allowance, and a seven-day trial capped at 20 minutes. This gives small teams a way to collect enquiries without answering every call live.
