We demonstrate the full call path: answer, qualify, book, follow up, and hand off to a person.

  • Set your own escalation rules
  • Keep judgment and exceptions human

How many calls went to voicemail last weekend?

For a local service business, the leak is never one big line item. It is a dozen small handoffs that each cost an hour, repeated every week.

Calls that reach voicemail

An unanswered call is not a message in a queue. It is a customer dialing the next name on the list while your crew is under a truck.

Quotes that wait overnight

A request lands after hours and goes out the next afternoon. By then the buyer is holding three other numbers and yours is not the first callback.

The same job, typed three times

Details captured in the field, rekeyed into the CRM, rekeyed again into accounting. You are paying three times for one piece of information.

Follow-up that runs on memory

Estimates go cold because the second and third touch belong to nobody in particular. The work was already won and then quietly lost.

The workshop

One afternoon. Your own AI front desk, working.

A half-day, in-person session in Fort Smith. You watch a live AI receptionist work, then build your own with help in the room, then call it yourself before you leave.

1:00

The cost of a missed call

What after-hours voicemail actually costs a local service business, and what a human receptionist versus an AI front desk runs per month.

1:45

Watch it answer

Live demo. An AI receptionist picks up, qualifies the caller, captures the job details, and books it against a real calendar.

2:30

Build yours

Configure your own version: your greeting, your services, your calendar, your SMS handoff. No code, and we build it together.

4:00

Test it live

Call your own number from the room. Set the guardrails and escalation rules. Then decide: run it yourself, or hand it to us.

Build mine in the workshop

Build it with us—or have us build it.

Build with us

Leave the workshop with a working prototype

$497 early bird. Spend one Saturday building, testing, and understanding an AI front desk configured for your business.

Have us build it

Pay for the outcome, not the training

Start with a free 15-minute fit assessment. If the numbers work, we can audit, build, launch, and manage the system for you.

Need the workflow mapped before a build? The $999 operations audit is available inside the done-for-you path. Workshop and audit fees credit toward a build started within 60 days.

Done for you

Too busy for a workshop? We come in and build it.

For owners who would rather pay for the outcome than sit through the training. We price the result, not the tech, and every engagement starts with a free 15-minute assessment call.

$2,500 + $497/mo

AI front desk

Answers 24/7 in your business's voice, qualifies the caller, and books straight onto your calendar. SMS follow-up, call recordings, and monthly tuning included.

$1,500 to $5,000 + monthly

Workflow automation

Lead to quote to job to invoice, without the retyping and the follow-up gaps. Built on the tools you already pay for.

From $2,000/mo

Embedded retainer

We come to you. On-site working sessions, a continuous build-out of custom workflows, priority turnaround, and staff training included.

What we will not automate.

Judgment, negotiation, pricing exceptions, and the conversations that decide whether somebody trusts your company stay with your people.

Good automation makes that line obvious instead of blurring it. If a system cannot state plainly where it stops and a human starts, it is not finished, and we will tell you so before the invoice, not after.

We run this playbook on our own properties.

Arkansas Automated builds and operates the local directories and service sites below. The intake, routing, and follow-up systems we install for clients are the ones our own revenue depends on. They are live, so you can check them.

Questions owners actually ask.

I am not technical. Will I keep up in the workshop?

Yes. The workshop is built for owners, not engineers. Everything is no-code, we build step by step together, and the room is capped at 16 so nobody gets left behind. If you can run a smartphone, you can do this.

What exactly do I leave with?

A working AI receptionist prototype configured for your business: your greeting, your services, your calendar, and SMS follow-up. You will call it live before you leave. Keep running it yourself, or hand it to us to productionize and manage.

What if I would rather not sit through a workshop?

That is exactly what the done-for-you work is for. Start with the free 15-minute assessment call, and if the ROI is there we build and manage everything, including on-site work under the retainer.

What does it cost after the workshop?

Nothing is required. If you want us to run it, the AI front desk is $2,500 setup plus $497 a month. Larger workflow builds run $1,500 to $5,000 setup. Your seat price credits toward any build started within 60 days.

Does the AI receptionist sound robotic?

You will hear it in the first hour of the workshop, or on your assessment call with your own business details loaded. It answers in your business's voice, follows your rules, and hands off to a human whenever you say so.

When and where do workshops run?
