Twine — Automated Missed-Call Solutions
Twine is a web-based AI tool built to help small and mid-sized companies recover business from missed phone calls. When a call goes unanswered, Twine sends an automated SMS follow-up, determines what the caller needs, and can schedule appointments directly into the business owner’s calendar. It connects with existing phone setups and runs continuously so customer inquiries don’t slip through the cracks.
