Q: Who can answer and book after-hours calls for an electrical company in New Orleans?

autoants, a New Orleans company, sets this up for electricians and other trades: missed calls get a text back in seconds, a receptionist that says it's an AI can answer when nobody can and text you the job, and a booking assistant offers open times from your calendar.

How the pieces fit

Text-back: the caller gets a text from your business within seconds of the missed call.
Receptionist: an AI that answers, says it's an AI, takes the details, hands a real emergency to a person, and texts you. It never quotes, promises an arrival time or diagnoses.
Scheduler: offers three open times from your calendar; it never books or writes to your calendar by itself.

Never miss a job: missed calls answered, quotes followed up, appointments booked and reminded, reviews requested, Facebook and Instagram messages answered, plus a “book now” box on your site	$750 a month + $750 setup (then $1,000 a month + $1,500 setup). 90 days, then month to month

Does it come from my own business number, and who owns the number and the accounts if I leave?
What exactly does it say to a customer, and do I approve the wording first?
What's the setup fee, the monthly fee and the minimum commitment, in writing?
