Deskline answers every call, books the appointment on your real schedule, and gets you the details. We build it around your business and run it for you.
Pick a business type, then press "Play example call" to see how a call goes, start to finish.
Source: 411 Locals, 2024. A 30-day study that called 85 small businesses across 58 industries. Every unanswered call is a customer who may call the next name on the list.
Your existing number forwards to Deskline, or you use a new local number.
In a natural voice, saying it's an AI receptionist, using your hours, services and FAQs.
Only real openings inside your hours. Callers who want you are put straight through.
Your dashboard shows every booking, summary and transcript, and each booking is emailed as a calendar invite.
Nights, weekends, lunch, and the days you're buried in work.
The system checks your hours and existing bookings. Two callers can never get the same slot.
Callers who ask for a person, or have an emergency, are connected to your phone right then.
If you don't pick up, it takes their name and number and alerts you immediately.
If the AI or our servers ever fail, the call rings your phone directly.
Every call summarized. Every booking and callback in one place, on your phone, plus a recap email every Monday.
Built for plumbers, HVAC, electricians, landscapers, cleaners, auto shops, salons and barbers, contractors, and real estate teams. English only for now.
No per-minute or per-call fees. If it catches one extra job a month, it has paid for itself.

It uses a natural voice and short, conversational replies, and says up front that it's an AI receptionist. The best answer is to hear it: book a demo and call it yourself.
It says so, takes a message, and alerts you. It only answers from the information you give us, and it never guesses about prices or policies.
No. Forward your current number to us, or use a new local number. Either way it's your business line.
Turn off call forwarding on your phone. That takes about ten seconds and needs nothing from us (Verizon *73, AT&T #21#, T-Mobile ##21#, or ##002# on most other carriers). To cancel the service, text or email us. There's no exit fee.
Not with a live link. Every booking appears in your Deskline dashboard immediately and is emailed to you as a calendar invite, which lands on Google, Outlook or Apple Calendar with one tap.
Not yet. Those calls include protected health or legal information, and we don't have the compliance agreements that requires. We'd rather tell you than sign you up.
Usually within two business days of our first call. We build it, test it with you, and nothing goes live until you approve it.
