Overview
KaiCalls is a complete business phone system run by an AI secretary. You get a real US phone number in three minutes. Calls ring your cell first — if you don't pick up, Kai answers. He captures the lead, qualifies it, books appointments on your Google Calendar live, and texts you a full transcript before the caller hangs up.
No app to download. No dashboard to check. Kai briefs you, not the other way around.
What Kai does on every call:
• Answers in your business name, in the voice you choose
• Books appointments directly on your Google Calendar
• Captures name, phone, email, and the reason they called
• Texts the caller back if you want — automated follow-up sequences included
• Forwards urgent calls to your cell
• Pushes every lead into your CRM (Airtable, GoHighLevel, Litify, and others)
Who it's for: plumbers, electricians, contractors, law firms, fitness studios, party rentals, clinics — anyone whose business runs on the phone and who's tired of missing calls or paying a human receptionist $3,000/month.
Pricing: flat rate, no per-minute charges. Starter $69/month (150 minutes). Growth $149. Professional $299. Business $499. Enterprise $999. Every plan includes every feature — the tiers only differ on included minutes and number of phone numbers.
Setup is a phone call. Call (802) 798-5404 and Kai walks you through it. No engineer required.
