01

The moment

A customer calls — you're already on a job.

The phone rings. You're under a sink, on a roof, mid-quote. Normally that call goes to voicemail and the customer keeps searching.

02

The handoff

A virtual receptionist picks up, asks the right questions.

Warm, professional, never rushed. The call is handled like you'd handle it yourself — name, address, urgency, issue, all captured.

03

The text

A summary lands on your phone, instantly.

Before you climb down off the ladder, the lead is already on your phone — name, problem, address, urgency. Call back when you're ready.

§ 03 — What Riley handles Six capabilities

A calm front desk
for the calls you miss.

Every call, handled. Every customer, remembered. Spam, screened. Real customers, qualified — and on bigger plans, routed to the right team member based on what they need.

Always on

Answers missed calls.

Picks up when you're busy, after hours, or already with another customer. One ring, every time.

Knows them by name

Remembers your customers.

When a customer calls back, Riley recognizes them, pulls up their history, and references prior conversations. "Welcome back, George."

Filters noise

Screens spam and sales calls.

Robocalls, telemarketers, and obvious solicitors get filtered out. Your dashboard stays focused on real customers.

Books the job

Confirms appointments on the call.

Checks your Google Calendar, offers open slots, and confirms the booking before the caller hangs up.

Smart routing · Call Assistant & Front Desk

Routes calls to the right person.

Add employees with skills and extensions. Riley matches the caller's need and books, transfers, or takes a message for the right team member.

Sees the patterns

Reports and insights.

Call volume, lead trends, spam blocked, appointments booked. See what's working — and what to ask Riley to do differently.

And every call ends with a summary — caller, issue, urgency, outcome — texted to your phone and logged for review.

§ 04 — What you receive Two ways, instantly

The handoff,
in your pocket.

Every call Riley handles ends with the details in your hands — a text the moment it happens, and a full summary with transcript when you sit down to review.

01 A text, instantly
Example SMS notification showing an appointment booked message with caller name, phone number, appointment time, address, and a scheduling link

The second Riley books the job, your phone buzzes. Name, number, when they're coming, what they need — before you finish the roof you're standing on.

02 An email, with proof
Example email notification showing caller details, appointment summary, transcript excerpt, and a button to view the full call

At the end of the day, read the full conversation. Summary, transcript, call duration — everything Riley said and everything they said back. Nothing is a black box.

§ 05 — How it works Five minutes to live

01

Create your account.

Tell Riley about your business — who you are, what you do, and how you want calls handled. That playbook gets used on every call.

02

Forward your unanswered calls.

One carrier code, typed into your phone. Takes about 60 seconds. Customers keep calling your existing number — Riley only picks up the ones you miss.

Stuck on the carrier code? Text support and we'll walk you through it.

03

Riley starts answering.

Every call shows up in your dashboard with a full transcript. Every lead gets texted to your phone. Every appointment lands on your calendar.

§ 06 — What customers say Four voices

Small businesses using Riley
every day.

HiRiley has been great at screening out the spam and solicitor calls that used to waste my time. I actually see the real leads now instead of digging through junk calls.

§ 08 — The quiet worries Answered directly

The three things every owner asks
before letting AI answer their phone.

You wouldn't hand your phone to a stranger without some questions. Here are the three that come up most — and the honest answers we give.

Question one

"Will it sound robotic?"

Riley uses natural-sounding voice AI. Most callers don't realize they're talking to an AI. You can pick from 22 voices, preview each one before going live, and switch anytime.

Question two

"What if she can't answer something?"

Riley stays inside the playbook you give her. Anything outside it gets captured as a detailed message — with everything you'd want to know — so you can follow up personally.

Question three

"What if a caller wants a human?"

Riley transfers the call to you, or the right person on your team, in real time. No phone trees, no hold music — just a clean handoff.

§ 09 — More questions? Answers to the rest

We've answered
all the rest.

Setup, calendar sync, spam handling, customer memory, team accounts, what data we store, what we don't — all the things people ask before they sign up.

Setup

How does setup work?

Create your account, add business details, choose how Riley handles calls, and turn on call forwarding. Connect Google Calendar if you want booking.

Memory

Does Riley remember my customers?

Yes. When a customer calls back, Riley confirms their name, pulls up prior calls and appointments, and uses any notes you've left. Available on every plan.

Read all 10 questions

Or email support@hiriley.com — a real human reads every message.
