A natural-sounding voice and text assistant that picks up 24/7, qualifies the lead, books the appointment straight into your own app, and texts you the details. No more missed calls, no more voicemail roulette.
An AI receptionist is a voice and text assistant that answers your business's incoming calls and messages around the clock. It greets the caller, qualifies the request, books appointments directly into your own custom app, captures contact information, and either completes the conversation or texts you with the details. CornerBeacon builds, tunes, and runs the whole system so a missed call becomes a booked job instead of a lost customer.
The average local service business misses 1 in 4 inbound calls. After 5pm and on weekends, that number climbs above 60%. Every missed call is a customer who calls the next name on Google — and almost never calls back.
Most home emergencies, restaurant reservations, and "I'm finally home from work" inquiries happen between 5pm and 10pm. That's when your phone goes to voicemail and your competition picks up.
Studies of local-service call data show that callers who hit voicemail almost never leave a message. They hang up and try the next business in the search results.
For most home-services and professional businesses, a single recovered job pays for the AI receptionist for a full year. After that, every captured call is upside.
Your AI receptionist picks up on the first ring — 24/7, no exceptions. It greets the caller in your business's voice, with the exact wording you choose during setup.
The AI asks the questions you'd ask: type of service, location, urgency, name, callback number. It handles interruptions, accents, and "uh, let me think" pauses the way a real receptionist would.
If the caller wants to book, the AI checks your live calendar, offers two or three time slots, and confirms the appointment. It sends a confirmation text and adds the job to your schedule.
You get a text summary of the call with all the captured information. If the AI couldn't handle something, you get a callback request with the customer's number, ready to dial.

An AI receptionist is a voice and text assistant that answers your business's incoming calls and messages 24/7. It greets the caller, asks qualifying questions, books appointments into your calendar, captures contact info, and either completes the request or texts you the details. Modern systems sound conversational, not robotic, and handle interruptions and accents the way a real person would.
The AI receptionist is included in our Grow tier — $7,900 setup plus $890 per month — which also gets you your own custom booking app. The receptionist books directly into that app, so every captured call lands in a system you own. Most businesses recover the difference in saved missed-call revenue within the first few months.
No. We tune voice, tempo, and tone — and test against real-world calls including interruptions, mumbles, and accents — before launch. Callers usually do not realize they are not speaking to a human.
Yes. We integrate with Google Calendar, Outlook, Jobber, ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Acuity, Calendly, and most major scheduling tools. The AI checks live availability and books directly.
It follows the handoff rules you set during configuration — taking a message and texting you, transferring to a live team member, or scheduling a callback. You stay in control of the edge cases.
Most deployments are live in 2 to 3 weeks. Week one is configuration and integrations, week two is testing against real call recordings, week three is team training and go-live.
