AI Agents & Automation
The agents
AI Receptionist
Answers your business phone on the first ring, answers common questions, books appointments, and transfers urgent calls to your team.
At any point
Missed-Call Text-Back
When you can't pick up, it texts the caller within seconds, finds out what they need, and books them before they call someone else.
At any point
Estimate Intake Agent
Collects project scope, photos, address, budget, and timeline from new leads by phone, text, or website chat, so every callback starts with a quote-ready picture.
At any point
Review Agent
Asks happy customers for a Google review after each job, routes unhappy customers to you first, and drafts replies to new reviews for you to approve.
At any point
Follow-Up Agent
Follows up on open estimates, answers questions about the quote, sends appointment reminders, and tells you when a customer is ready to book.
At any point
Office AI
A private AI assistant for your team that answers from your own documents, price sheets, and procedures, running in an account you control.
At any point

Holston AI receptionist
Uses your microphone and speakers.
Ask about websites, SEO, or how an AI receptionist would work for your business. Try to stump it, or ask to book a call.
Your browser turns your speech into text. The text is sent to an AI service to write the replies, and we don't store the conversation. Please don't share sensitive information.
A chatbot answers questions. An AI agent also does the work: it books the appointment, texts the customer, updates your calendar, and tells you what happened. Each agent follows a clear script you approve, called a flow, and hands the conversation to a person whenever your rules say it should.
You don't have to design an agent from scratch or learn an automation tool. Each of our agents starts from a flow that already works for local service businesses. We change the wording, questions, and rules to match how you run your business, connect it to your phone, calendar, and CRM, and test it before it talks to a customer.
Every agent tells customers it is an AI assistant, keeps a record of every conversation, and sends prices, complaints, and emergencies to you. You can read any conversation, change the rules, or turn an agent off at any time.
Want to hear one built for your business first? Our free AI Agent Builder at holstonai.com/ai-agent-builder starts from a template for your industry and lets you talk to your own AI receptionist in your browser. If you miss phone calls, start with the AI Receptionist or Missed-Call Text-Back. Our free Missed Call Calculator shows what those calls cost you in a year. If leads come in but don't close, start with Estimate Intake or the Follow-Up Agent. If you want to rank higher on Google Maps, start with the Review Agent.
