Wenly
AI answering service for home-service and other local businesses. It answers every call 24/7 in your business name, tells callers it is automated, captures the name, need, urgency and callback number, and emails you the lead within about 30 seconds. Website chat is live; text alerts and social messaging are listed as coming soon. Setup is free (self-serve on Solo and Starter, a setup call on Managed). On Managed, a real person reviews every lead. A low-cost pick for small crews that mainly want missed calls turned into leads.
