Cira
Cira by Crafted Labs is an AI-powered receptionist built for small and home service businesses that depend on inbound calls to win new jobs. Acting as a smart virtual receptionist, Cira answers calls 24/7 with a natural, professional voice, captures lead details, answers common questions, and books appointments so no opportunity slips through — even after hours or when crews are busy in the field. It’s especially effective for plumbers, HVAC companies, electricians, cleaners, contractors, and other local service businesses where missed calls mean lost revenue. Setup takes just minutes: connect your business details and Cira learns your services, hours, service area, and scheduling links automatically. Features include warm call transfers, SMS follow-ups, appointment booking, CRM and Zapier integrations, and detailed call summaries for easy follow-up. As a modern AI answering service, Cira replaces missed calls and expensive call centers with automation that feels human.

WarmLane
WarmLane is a 24/7 AI voice agent built for businesses that lose money every time the phone goes unanswered.
Every missed call is a customer who called the next business instead. WarmLane answers on the first ring — at 2 AM, on a Sunday, or while the owner is under a sink — and handles the call the way a well-trained receptionist would. It answers questions about services, hours, pricing and service area using your own business information, qualifies the caller, captures their name, number and reason for calling, and books the appointment directly onto your Google Calendar or Calendly. The caller gets a confirmation by text and email, which also cuts no-shows.
When a call genuinely needs a person, WarmLane forwards or warm-transfers it to you or your team, so nobody is ever left stranded. Missed and dropped calls get an automatic callback and text. Every conversation is transcribed, searchable, and exportable.
