FrontReplies is a done-for-you AI receptionist and answering service for local, appointment-led businesses. It handles inbound calls, emails, text messages, social direct messages and website chats around the clock, responding in the business’s voice. The service captures leads, routes requests to staff, sends missed-call text-backs, follows up with prospects and books appointments using calendar availability. FrontReplies’ team sets up and maintains the replies and workflows, connects calendars, inboxes and communication channels, and obtains customer sign-off before launch. The service is aimed at dental practices, med spas, clinics, salons, barbershops, gyms and studios, and home-service providers such as HVAC, plumbing and roofing businesses. Common workflows include answering routine inquiries, following up on quotes or unbooked inquiries, and directing complex requests to staff.

CallMinded is a cloud-based AI receptionist for small service businesses that need help handling inbound calls when staff cannot answer. Its AI receptionist, Josie, responds using business-approved information and configured rules, including the business’s services, hours, service area, greeting, and questions. It can collect caller details, the reason for the call, and service or appointment requests, then provide the team with a structured summary for follow-up. Businesses can set instructions and exclusions and test call forwarding from their existing phone number during setup. Appointment requests are passed to staff for review rather than treated as confirmed bookings. The product is designed for businesses such as garages, home-service contractors, cleaners, and pet groomers that want to capture call information and organize follow-up through a web dashboard.
