On the phone, right now

Never miss another
customer call.

PopovDesk answers your business phone when you can't — books the job, takes the message, and tells you what happened.

Keep your own phone number. Nothing goes live until you've heard it answer a call yourself.

The real cost

Every missed call is a customer
calling someone else.

You can't answer while you're on a job, with a patient, or asleep. Your customers don't wait — they call the next name on the list.

After hours

The burst pipe at 11pm goes to voicemail. By morning, someone else has the job.

While you're working

Hands full, phone ringing. You call back in two hours — they already booked elsewhere.

When the desk is busy

One person, three lines. The third caller hangs up and never calls again.

Getting started

Set it up in one sitting.

No new phone system. No app for your customers. No contract.

1

Tell it about your business

Your hours, what you do, what you charge, who to call for emergencies. About 30 seconds of typing.

Have a price list or policy sheet? Drop the file in and it reads it for you.

2

It calls you first

Put in your cell number and your new front desk phones you. Ask it your hours. Try to get a discount. Be difficult on purpose.

Nothing goes live until you've heard it and you're happy.

3

Send it your calls

Forward your line whenever you want it answered — evenings, weekends, or only when you're already on the phone.

Your number stays yours. Turn it off any time.

On the call

What it does when someone calls.

It talks like a person, not a phone menu. No "press 1 for service."

✓

Books the appointment

Finds a time that works, books it, and reschedules when someone needs to move.

✓

Answers the usual questions

Hours, pricing, what you do and don't service, whether you take their insurance.

✓

Knows what's an emergency

Water through the ceiling reaches your on-call person straight away — not a voicemail.

✓

Takes a proper message

Name, number, what they need, how urgent. Waiting for you, not scribbled on a pad.

✓

Speaks English and French

It answers in whichever language your caller starts in.

✓

Follows up afterwards

Calls or emails the customer back when something needed checking — and closes the loop.

Your side of it

You see everything it did.

Open it on your phone between jobs. Three things — that's the whole screen.

Waiting on you

Only what needs a person

The desk handles the routine on its own. The few things needing your call sit in one short list.

Sarah M. · 2:14pm Wants Saturday. You're booked — can she do Friday 4pm?
Tell it what to say

You decide, it delivers

Type the answer in your own words. It calls or emails them back and says exactly that — nothing invented.

You typed "Friday 4pm works. Tell her there's no extra charge."
Every call, written down

Read any conversation

Who called, what they wanted, what was said, and whether it got handled. Word for word.

Before you ask

Fair questions.

Will my customers know it's not a person?

It says it's an AI assistant — every call, up front. Most callers carry on happily, because they got an answer instead of a beep.

Do I have to change my phone number?

No. You keep your number. You forward calls to the desk when you want it to answer, and stop forwarding whenever you like.

What if it doesn't know the answer?

It says it'll check and get back to them — then puts it in your list. It never makes something up to fill a gap.

I'm not good with technology.

If you can send a text message, you can run this. Setup is answering a few questions about your business, and it phones you to prove it works before anything goes live.

What does it cost?

The trial runs on your real calls so you can see what it's actually worth to your business — we agree pricing with you after that. No contract, stop any time.

Can I hear what it said?

Yes. Every call is written out word for word, and you can listen in while one is happening.
