Chicago, Illinois
AI receptionist for Chicago, IL service businesses.
We install an AI receptionist on top of your existing phone, website, and inbox so missed calls, after-hours leads, and form fills get answered, qualified, and booked without you touching them.
Why this matters in Chicago
Service businesses here lose leads the same way the city moves: too fast to catch up to.
Chicago is one of the densest service-business markets in the country. HVAC, plumbing, roofing, auto repair, dental, legal, cleaning, landscaping — every block has a small operator trying to answer the phone while a job is in progress. The owner is on a roof in Avondale, under a hood in Cicero, or with a client in the Loop. The call goes to voicemail. The lead taps the next Google result. The job goes to whoever picked up.
The gap is even wider after hours. A burst pipe in Lincoln Park at 11pm on a Saturday doesn’t wait until Monday — the homeowner calls four plumbers and books the first one who picks up or texts back. If that’s not you, the job is gone before you’ve seen the missed call.
You don’t need a bigger ad budget to fix that. You need the calls and form fills you already get to be answered, qualified, and booked the moment they arrive — at 2pm on a Tuesday and at 11pm on a Sunday.
Proof from a sister market
Car Hub, Macomb Township: 10 booked jobs in week one.
Our first real client is an independent auto shop outside Detroit. Before the AI receptionist went live, after-hours calls died in voicemail and new-customer leads slipped to the next shop on Google. In the first week the system was live, it booked 10 jobs the shop wouldn’t have captured otherwise — missed-call text-backs that turned into appointments, late-night form fills that were qualified and on the calendar by the time the bay opened the next morning.
The same workflow runs for a Chicago HVAC company, a Lincoln Square dental practice, or a Naperville roofer. The install doesn’t care which industry it’s plugged into — it cares that a lead reached you and got an answer in seconds.
What we install
The system, end to end.
Missed call text back
Every unanswered call triggers an SMS within seconds. The conversation continues over text until the lead is qualified and a time is on your calendar.
AI chat on your site
A 24/7 chat agent on your website plus SMS, WhatsApp, and Instagram DM. Trained on your services, pricing, and the neighborhoods you actually cover.
Voice AI (Pro AI plan)
Picks up the phone when you can’t. Qualifies, books, and hands off with a full transcript. Bilingual English/Spanish handling is available on this plan.
CRM and follow-up
Every lead is tracked. Reminders, follow-up sequences, and Google review requests fire automatically — no spreadsheets, no forgotten callbacks.

Service area
Across Chicagoland and the collar counties.
We work with service businesses across the city of Chicago — Loop, North Side, West Side, South Side, and everywhere between — plus Cook County and the collar counties: DuPage, Lake, Will, Kane, and McHenry. That includes Oak Park, Evanston, Naperville, Schaumburg, Aurora, Joliet, Elgin, Waukegan, and the smaller markets in between. The system is remote-first, so the install runs the same whether you’re a single-truck operator in Cicero or a multi-location operation covering the I-90 / I-294 corridor.
Working further out? We also serve the Detroit metro.
Founding program

Plans start at $549/month with a one-time $549 setup. The Founding Member program offers three limited spots at 50% off setup and 30% off monthly for the first six months in exchange for honest feedback and a testimonial. If you’re a Chicago-area operator who wants to be in early, that’s the cheapest way in.
FAQ
Common questions from Chicago-area owners.
- Do you only work with businesses inside Chicago city limits?
- No. The system is remote and works for any service business across Chicagoland — the city, Cook County, and the collar counties (DuPage, Lake, Will, Kane, McHenry). We highlight Chicago because the density of service businesses here means the lead leak is large and immediate.
- How fast can you get a Chicago-area business live?
- Most installs go live in 5 to 7 days. We use your existing business phone number with call forwarding, plug into your calendar, and train the agent on your services, pricing, and service area before any real leads hit it.
- Can the agent handle Spanish-speaking callers?
- Bilingual handling is configurable on the Pro AI plan. The agent can detect the caller's language, switch to Spanish, and run the full qualification and booking flow without handing off. On Starter and Growth, the agent is English-only.
- What happens to leads from the suburbs versus the Loop?
- The agent is trained on your service area boundaries and dispatch rules. If you only run jobs inside I-294, the agent qualifies that during the call and books only in-area leads. If you cover both the city and the collar counties, it routes by neighborhood and ZIP without manual triage.
