Voicemail / answering machine
Takes a message after they have already decided you are busy. Fine for your mum. Expensive if you live on missed leaks.
AI receptionist
An AI receptionist that books the job, not a voicemail.
Slotby answers the phone for Sussex trades while you are on a job. It is a managed AI receptionist — UK voice, trained on your patch, diary and prices. Not a call centre. Not an answering machine. Not software you have to babysit.
What it is not
People search ‘AI answering machine’. That is the wrong product.
If you wanted a tape that says ‘leave a message’, you already have that on your mobile. Callers hang up. The next van gets the work.
Call centre
A person on a script, often not in Sussex, often not allowed to book your diary. You still chase the job up afterwards.
Slotby
Picks up, asks what broke, offers a time you actually have, writes the calendar, texts you. If the diary write fails, it does not pretend it booked.

A missed call becomes a booked job
Same customer. Two outcomes. Flip between a dead voicemail and Slotby — the transcript follows the clip.

It picks up instantly, books the leak, and texts you the address. You don’t lift a finger.
Who it is for

Same machine, different script. A locksmith at 2am does not sound like a Friday house move.
