Cooli, your after-hours receptionist

Missed calls get a text back in seconds.

Cooli answers after-hours questions about your hours, prices, and booking. Keep the number customers already call. Our team installs it, and you can step into any conversation.

For customers who choose a text reply. Texts may come from a separate business number.

$99/month. Setup from $199. Start with 14 days live.

Can I drop my car off tomorrow for a brake check? How much is it?

Cooli

I'm the shop's automated assistant. A brake inspection is $49 as a sample price, applied to the repair if you go ahead. I can ask the team about a drop-off tomorrow. What year, make, and model is it?

Ask it what your customers ask.

Choose your trade and send a question. This is a live automated reply using sample business facts, not a recording or a real booking.

Your facts. Clear limits.

Try a question about hours or prices. Then ask something that needs a person.

No real appointment is made here. In your installed version, the team confirms requests unless a supported calendar accepts the booking.

Read the sample conversations

The same late question, answered in your trade.

Hours, prices, pickup windows, and appointment requests. The facts come from you. Questions needing judgment go to a person.

How much is a first consultation?

Cooli

I'm the clinic's automated assistant. The sample consultation price is $50. A clinician handles treatment advice. Would you like the booking link?

Customer

Can you tell me which treatment I need?

Cooli

That needs a clinician. I can pass along a request for them to contact you.

Keep your number. Change what happens after close.

We check your phone setup, load your business facts, and test it with you before customers use it.

  1. Forward the calls you choose.

    Your provider forwards unanswered or after-hours calls to a Twilio number assigned to your business. Customers keep dialing your advertised number.

  2. Approve the facts and the text handoff.

    Add your hours, prices, service area, and booking rules. We test how callers choose a text reply and show you the number those texts come from.

  3. Get the request, or take over.

    Cooli sends you the conversation and captures the lead. A supported calendar can confirm a booking. Otherwise, it records a request for you to confirm.

Check my phone setup

Forwarding does not automatically make your existing number text-enabled. We explain the sender number and any carrier charges before installation.

When it needs you, you take the conversation.

Read the thread, tap Take over, and reply as yourself. Cooli pauses its replies until you hand it back.

See how takeover works

In the client portal, open a conversation and tap Take over. Your replies are labeled as coming from a person, and Cooli pauses until you hand back. You can also reply through the owner text relay configured during installation.

What does your line do after close?

We call your line after close and send you what happened.

We make one agreed test call. You get the time, whether it rang or reached voicemail, and what a customer could do next. No recording and no sales messages to your customers.

We will email to confirm the test window before calling.

Include the country code, for example +1.

Timezone uses your device setting. If your business is in another timezone, tell us in the note. The test window is confirmed by email.

Fair questions before you change your phone setup.

Here is what Cooli does, where it stops, and how you stay in control.

Will it sound robotic?

It replies by text, so customers do not have to sit through an automated voice conversation. You approve its business facts and example replies. We expect to tune the wording during the first week.

What if my customers hate bots?

It identifies itself as an automated assistant. Customers can ask for a person or choose not to continue. We do not pretend it is your staff.

What if it gets something wrong?

It can still make mistakes. We limit its answers to approved facts, route uncertain questions to you, and review problems during setup. It must not invent a price, promise a refund, or confirm an unaccepted booking.

Can I keep my existing number?

Yes, customers can keep calling it if your provider supports the required forwarding. Text replies may use a separate number. We check both before you agree to go live.

How do I take over?

Open the conversation and tap Take over. You can also use the owner text relay configured during installation. Hand back when you want Cooli to resume.

What does it cost?

Setup for the receptionist is $199 to $999, quoted first, and some projects cost more depending on scope. The subscription is $99 a month after fourteen days live, month to month, with a thirty-day money-back window from go-live. Custom projects are scoped and quoted separately and usually cost more.

What if I already have online booking?

Keep it. Cooli can answer the question before the booking and share your link. Direct booking depends on a supported connection. If your current setup already handles after-hours callers well, you may not need Cooli.

Do you only do the receptionist?

No. It is the product we install most, and the one with a fixed price. We also build custom AI projects: booking and intake flows, paperwork and quotes, customer follow-up, internal tools. Those are scoped on a call and quoted per project, and they usually cost more than a receptionist setup.

Beyond the receptionist

Need more than the receptionist? We build custom AI too.

The after-hours receptionist is the product we install most, and the one with a fixed price. The same team builds custom AI projects for independent businesses, scoped on a call and quoted per project. Those usually cost more than a receptionist setup.

  • Booking and intake flows. Customers get booked, quoted, or on a list without a person answering.
  • Paperwork and quotes. Forms, estimates, and documents drafted from what the customer said.
  • Customer follow-up. Reminders, reviews, and win-back messages sent from your own facts and tone.
  • Internal tools and integrations. Connected to the software you already run, built to fit how you work.
