The flow

From dial to booking in 60 seconds.

1

Forward your phone

60-second setup. Works with any provider — Twilio, Google Voice, RingCentral, Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile.

We handle all the technical details so you can focus on what matters most: growing your business. Whether you're a solo professional or managing a team, Live Answer makes it easy to take control of your call flow in minutes.

2

We answer every call

24/7, English or Spanish, your vertical script. Books into your CRM, calendar, or PMS in real time.

Our AI is trained on thousands of real-world interactions, so responses sound natural and use your industry’s vocabulary. It schedules appointments, answers common questions about your services, and takes complete messages — every caller gets a real conversation, not a phone tree.

3

You get the booking

SMS summary + email within 60 seconds. Emergencies trigger an immediate text to your cell.

Never miss a beat with our real-time updates. Whether it's a routine appointment or an urgent matter, you'll be notified instantly so you can take action without delay. Plus, all interactions are securely recorded and stored for easy reference.

This same flow powers our small business answering service — a managed AI receptionist that runs as a 24/7 answering service on your existing number.

Under the hood

What’s actually happening on the call.

Voice
TTS from Inworld 1.5 Max, Cartesia, and ElevenLabs, tuned for phone audio. Sub-300ms latency with Deepgram Nova for speech recognition.

The result is a voice that sounds like a person on a clear line — callers respond to it the way they respond to a good receptionist, not a robocall.

Brain
Claude Sonnet 4.6 with vertical-specific system prompts. Hard guardrails against fabrication, advice-giving, and overbooking. Escalation by design.

The AI is scripted not to fake confidence: anything it isn’t sure about becomes a message and a callback slot, and complex situations are escalated to you promptly instead of guessed at.

Integrations
Direct API into Jobber, Service Titan, HousecallPro, FieldEdge, Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, Lawmatics. 35+ total. Custom integrations on the Custom plan.

Bookings, messages, and call notes flow straight into the tools you already use — no manual re-entry. Setup is specific to your stack, whether you run a law firm, a service business, or a medical practice.
