Answers 24/7
After hours, weekends, and while you're on a job. You keep your own number and forward calls to Gary after hours only, or all the time.
Gary · Done-for-you AI receptionist · English & Spanish
One answered after-hours call can be a $300 repair or an $8,000 replacement.
Home-service jobs range from a few hundred dollars for a repair to several thousand for a replacement. Gary answers every call, 24/7, after hours, on weekends, and while you're up on a roof or crawling through an attic, so those jobs don't go to the next company on Google.
Gary is an AI receptionist, not a person. He tells callers up front that he's an AI assistant for your business. Built on the Treasure Coast of Florida, serving home-service pros nationwide, including Texas.
The math that matters
What are missed calls costing you?
Put in your own numbers. Missed calls per week × the share you'd usually close × your average job value × 4.3 weeks gives a rough monthly figure.
This is an estimate built from your numbers, not a promise or a Viralux result. Not every missed call is a job, and Gary can't close the sale for you. He makes sure you get the chance.
What Gary does
Built for owner-run service businesses
HVAC, plumbing, pest control, roofing, landscaping, garage doors, and other trades where one missed call can be a missed job.
Answers real questions
Hours, services, service area: Gary answers from your business's real information, the way you'd want it said.
Captures the lead
Name, number and job details, logged to a Google Sheet, with a lead summary emailed to you right after the call.
Habla español
Bilingual English and Spanish, with a native-sounding Spanish voice, so Spanish-speaking customers get the same answer as everyone else.

You decide what counts as an emergency. Gary live-transfers those calls to your on-call phone.
Done for you

Start here · Free
Free missed-call audit
We call your line after hours a few times and show you how many calls hit voicemail. A person on our team places the calls, not an AI, and we share what we found either way.
- A few after-hours test calls to your business line
- Placed by a person on our team
- A plain summary: answered, voicemail, or no answer
Why start here
See the gap before you pay for anything
If your calls already get answered after hours, you'll know you don't need Gary. If they don't, you'll see exactly where the jobs are slipping.
What you get every month
A clear report, and every lead in writing
Every plan includes a monthly report and a summary of each lead. Here's what they look like, using a made-up business.

Peace of mind
You stay in control
A transcript of every call
We keep a text transcript of every call Gary takes, so you can see exactly what was said. Call recording can also be turned on for your line if you want it, with a recording notice in the greeting.
Reviewed and improved weekly
We review calls weekly and keep improving Gary: questions he couldn't answer, missed details, and anything that sounded off.
Your number stays yours
Your existing number and voicemail stay as backup. Gary works through call forwarding on your line, and you can switch forwarding off anytime.
Always an AI, and says so
Gary tells callers up front that he's an AI assistant, and never pretends to be a person.
Only your real information
Gary answers from the facts you give us. If he doesn't know, he takes a message instead of guessing.
Live in 7 days, or your setup fee back
If Gary isn't live and answering correctly within 7 days after you turn on call forwarding, we refund your setup fee in full. For prepaid packages, the whole payment.
Pro & Premium
Custom call routing to your subs and partners
Gary can live-transfer callers to a subcontractor, partner or on-call tech based on time of day, job type or service area. If nobody picks up, Gary takes a message, and both you and the partner get the lead summary.
- Route by time of day, job type or service area
- Lead summary to you and to the partner
- Phone line setup included in your setup fee
Custom call routing is included on Pro and Premium. It isn't available on Essential.
Example
A Saturday call about a leak
Gary answers, takes the caller's name, number and job details, and, because it's a weekend plumbing call, transfers to your on-call partner. No answer? Gary takes the message and sends you both the summary.
