Sentinel — the AI front desk
Sentinel answers your phone in one ring, around the clock, and sounds like your best hire. It books the appointment, texts the follow-up, and hands the tricky calls to a real person. Live on your line in under an hour.
Or make it answer as your business — sixty seconds, no signup.
The leak
Nobody's at the desk. The caller doesn't leave a voicemail — they dial the next result and hand your job to your competitor. You never even know it happened. Every missed call is a customer choosing someone else.
The missed-money audit
Walking out the door:
$9,000
per month — $300 a day, every day
Sentinel starts at $299 a month. At your numbers it pays for itself in its first day — the other 29 are profit.
Your numbers, your math. We'll run the full audit with you in person — free.
The proof
That number rings Sentinel — the same build we install for clients, answering as our own front desk. Ask it whatever a customer would ask. Then decide.
What it does
Nights, weekends, holidays, lunch rush. Every call picked up — even ten at once.
Natural pacing, real conversation, a voice you choose. Callers talk to it the way they talk to a person — in 32 languages.
It checks your real calendar and books, reschedules, or cancels right on the call. The appointment is on your schedule before they hang up.
Confirmations, directions, quotes, payment links — sent while the caller is still holding their phone.
Emergencies and anyone who asks for a person go straight to your team — with a spoken heads-up, so nobody repeats themselves.
If it doesn't know your price, it says so, takes the details, and gets the caller a real answer. Your phone never lies to a customer.
Setup
Your website, your services, your hours, your prices. Sentinel answers like it's worked for you for ten years.
Choose the receptionist in the meeting — voice, greeting, and the languages your customers actually speak.
Keep your number. Forward everything — or start with just nights and weekends. Test call, and you're live.
Most owners start with after-hours only. Once they read the first week's call log, it usually gets the day shift too.
Pricing
Month-to-month. No contract. We earn it every month — or you walk.
Busy month? Your bill can never exceed the next plan's price. More than three locations — talk to us.
The alternatives
A full-time receptionist
$4,439/mo
Median wage plus taxes and benefits. Covers 40 hours a week — then goes home. Sick days, vacations, and turnover are yours to solve.
An answering service
$385/mo
Buys about 100 minutes of message-taking. A stranger writes the number down. The job still waits for you to call back.
Sentinel
from $299/mo
Every hour of every day. Answers, books, texts, and transfers — for less than $10 a day.
Receptionist figure: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics — median receptionist wage (May 2024) grossed up with the BLS employer cost of benefits. Answering-service figure: a leading national service's published 100-minute plan.
Straight answers
An AI front desk that answers your business phone 24/7. It sounds human, knows your business, books appointments on your real calendar, texts follow-ups, and hands tricky calls to a real person. We build it, install it on your existing number, and manage it for you.
Compare it to the alternative — right now they're getting voicemail, or nothing. Sentinel picks up in one ring, sounds natural, and actually solves the reason they called. And any caller who wants a person gets one, instantly. Start it after-hours only and read the transcripts — the calls speak for themselves.
It never guesses. If a caller asks something you haven't given it — a price you set case-by-case, say — it promises the right answer, takes the caller's details, and notifies you on the spot. Your phone never quotes a wrong number.
Under an hour of setup: we load your business, you pick the voice, we connect your number. Texting features can take a few extra days while phone carriers approve the registration — we handle that paperwork.
No. You keep your number and your phones. Most owners start by forwarding nights and weekends only, then let Sentinel take more as the call log earns it.
Your bill can never exceed the next plan's price — that's a promise, in writing. We'll flag you at 80% so nothing is ever a surprise.
Prefer it in person? We'll come to you and run the missed-money audit at your counter.
