FirstWord

One phone for your work and your life.

For people whose cell is also their business line. When you can’t pick up, your assistant answers: family gets through, clients get looked after, and new customers don’t call someone else.

Example: one afternoon on one number

Made for one-person businesses

Photographers, plumbers, tutors, agents, cleaners, coaches. If your customers have your cell number, you know the problem: you can’t answer while you’re working, and you can’t tell a new customer from a sales call.

One call, start to finish

You’re on a job when a new customer calls. Your assistant picks up, finds out what they need, and you get a summary instead of a voicemail.

Your assistant is on a call

    What you see in Today

    An example call. In the beta you hear your own with test calls.

    How it works

    1. 1

      Tell it about your work

      A short chat, and it sorts the people who call you: family, clients, new customers, everyone else.

    2. 2

      It answers when you can’t

      It finds out who’s calling and what they need, then sends you a short summary instead of a voicemail.

    3. 3

      It suggests, you decide

      Want a call handled differently? Just say so. It shows you exactly what changed, and you can undo it.

    What you get

    An app with three places, and your assistant in each of them.

    Today. Every call as a short summary, newest first.
    People. Who gets through, who gets looked after, and how.
    Ask. Change anything by saying so. Every change can be undone.

    Questions

    Do I keep my number?

    Yes. In the private beta your assistant answers test calls in your browser, so you can hear how it handles each kind of caller before it ever answers your real phone.

    Who is it for?

    People whose personal cell is also their business line: photographers, tradespeople, tutors, agents, coaches. If customers, clients and family all call the same number, it is for you.

    How do I set it up?

    A short conversation. Tell it your name, what you do and who matters, in your own words. There are no forms to fill in.

    How do I change how it handles calls?

    Ask. “Put my sister through any time.” “Stop asking for a budget.” It makes the change, shows you what changed, and you can undo it.

    What does it sound like?

    A natural voice that says it is your assistant. Start a test call in the app and hear it for yourself.

    Where do my calls go?

    Calls are saved to your account so you can read them back and ask about them. You can delete any call.

    Never miss the call that matters.
