AI Receptionists & Answering

Cactus

AI answering service built for home service companies. It answers calls 24/7 in English and Spanish and switches language mid-call, asks trade-specific questions and puts the lead into Housecall Pro or Jobber, which it lists as native integrations. It can hand a caller to a person on your team and can also make outbound calls: returning missed calls, following up on open estimates and reaching past customers. Cactus does the setup, and it says most shops are live in 48 to 72 hours. No public price, so get the monthly cost and any per-call or per-minute limits in writing.
