Common questions we hear.

Helm is an AI assistant, and it says so if a caller asks. What it won't sound like is a robot: no phone menus, no scripts. It writes and speaks like a person who works at your company, and every conversation shows up in your dashboard so you can read or hear exactly what was said.

Helm doesn't quote prices and won't commit your calendar without you. It qualifies the caller, captures the details, and proposes time slots. You decide what to do next: book it in one tap, skip the lead, or call them yourself.

Voicemail waits for you. Helm replies immediately, checks if the person is actually a fit, and sends you the details. Fewer voicemails. More scheduled work.

For most local service businesses, yes. A typical answering service takes a message and bills by the minute. Helm answers around the clock, asks the questions a dispatcher would (problem, address, timing), and texts you a qualified lead with the full transcript attached. The Convert plan runs $249/month flat with 300 voice minutes included. Call the demo line and compare it to what you're paying today.

Yes. This is a decision for you. You can keep your existing phone number or have us provision a new one for you.

Helm covers the moments they can't, like after hours, when they step out for lunch, if they're on the phone with another customer, or when two calls come in at once. They still see every thread in the dashboard.
