AI Phone Attendant

The calls you miss are the jobs you lose

Field Stash answers when you can't - after hours, on a ladder, or when three calls come in at once. The AI receptionist talks to the homeowner, checks your real availability, and books the estimate on your calendar. If it can't, it takes a message. Nothing goes to a dead voicemail nobody checks.

The difference

The old way
Missed calls go to voicemail and never get returned
Homeowners call the next painter on the list before you call back
After-hours leads are gone by morning
You answer the phone mid-job and lose the thread on both
With Field Stash
The AI answers on the first ring, day or night
It books the estimate straight onto your real calendar
Overflow calls get caught instead of dropped
Every call becomes a lead in your pipeline with a transcript
What it does

Built in, not billed extra

Answers after hours and overflow
Two independent triggers you control: pick up when the office is closed, and pick up when a call would otherwise ring out because your team is busy. Both fall back to ring or voicemail if anything goes wrong - the AI never blocks a call from reaching you.
Books against real availability
The attendant checks the same drive-time-aware calendar your team books from, so it only offers slots you can actually keep. The estimate lands on your schedule with the address, contact, and notes attached.
Runs on the number you already have
No new phone number for customers to learn. The AI rides on your existing business line - calls just need to reach it. When you're available, it stays out of the way.
Every call becomes a tracked lead
New callers become contacts automatically, with a transcript and recording tied to the record. Nothing depends on someone remembering to write it down.
You set the guardrails
Per-call time caps, business hours, and when the AI is allowed to pick up are all yours to configure. Pay only for the minutes it actually handles.
Handoff, not a wall
The attendant is a safety net, not a gatekeeper. It catches what would have been lost and routes everything else to your team exactly like today.
How it works

From ring to booked

A call comes in
During your off-hours, or when the team is already on the line, the AI picks up instead of dropping the call to voicemail.
It talks to the homeowner
It answers questions about what you do, figures out the type of work, and offers real openings for an estimate.
It books or takes a message
The estimate goes on your calendar with all the details, or - if the caller isn't ready - it captures a lead and a message for follow-up.

Built in, priced by the call, booked by the drive

The painting-specific tools either have no phone answering at all or stop at automated texts. The big platforms do sell an AI voice agent - as a monthly add-on that bills whether or not the phone rings. Field Stash builds the attendant in and runs it on credits: you pay for the calls it answers and nothing for silence. And it books against your real drive-time calendar, so the estimate it sets is one you can actually keep.

Questions

Yes. It books against the same drive-time-aware calendar your team uses, so it only offers slots you can keep. There is no separate, stale schedule for it to overbook.
It falls back gracefully - taking a message and creating a lead, or routing to voicemail. If anything fails on our end, the call rings through as it would today. The AI never blocks a customer from reaching you.
No. The attendant runs on your existing business number. Customers call the same line they always have.
By the minute, for the calls it actually handles, with a per-call cap you set. You are not paying a flat fee for a line that mostly sits idle.
Only when you tell it to. You choose after-hours pickup, overflow pickup, or both. When your team is available during business hours, calls ring your team first.
