ZetAnswer AI Call Assistant features
Everything included in the platform — from day-one essentials to the advanced modules teams grow into.
Works with your mobile number
Conditional call forwarding means the AI only answers when you decline, are busy or don't pick up within a few rings.
Missed-call text-back
If a caller hangs up, they instantly get a friendly SMS or WhatsApp so the conversation continues in text.
Captures job details
Name, address, the problem, photos via text link, urgency and preferred time — collected in a natural conversation.
Books the job or callback
Puts estimates, site visits or callbacks into your calendar based on rules you set.
Emergency escalation
Keywords like "flooding", "no power" or "gas smell" trigger an immediate transfer or urgent alert to you.
Service-area checks
Knows your postcodes or radius and politely declines jobs outside your area — no wasted callbacks.
Quotes your standard prices
Shares call-out fees, starting prices or price ranges you approve, so leads arrive pre-informed.
Daily digest
One end-of-day summary of every call, sorted by priority and value.
What is an AI call answering assistant?
You can't answer the phone on a roof, under a sink, behind the wheel or in front of a client. Your AI call assistant picks up when you don't, talks to the customer like a helpful office manager, captures exactly what they need and puts the job in your calendar — then texts you the details so you can call back when it suits you.
Your phone, answered — even when your hands are full: picks up only when you don't, instant missed-call text-back, job details texted to you in seconds.
Tradespeople and solo owners lose jobs simply because they were busy working
- You are mid-job, the phone rings, and by the time you call back the customer has already booked someone else.
- Calling back every number at the end of the day eats into your evenings.
- You can't afford an office manager, but you also can't afford to keep missing calls.
- Customers expect a reply in minutes, not hours.

ZetAnswer AI Call Assistant — frequently asked questions
Can an AI assistant answer my mobile calls when I'm busy?
Yes. Using conditional call forwarding on iPhone or Android, calls you decline or don't answer are passed to your AI assistant, which talks to the caller and sends you a summary. Calls you pick up work exactly as before. Full answer →
What is missed-call text-back?
If a caller hangs up before speaking, they automatically receive an SMS or WhatsApp message such as "Sorry we missed you — how can we help?" so you keep the lead instead of losing it. Full answer →
Is it safe to use while driving?
That is one of its main uses: you never touch the phone. The assistant handles the conversation and you read the summary once you have stopped. Full answer →
Will it work for my trade?
We configure the questions, emergency keywords, prices and service area for your specific trade — plumbing, electrical, HVAC, cleaning, landscaping, consulting and more. Full answer →
How quickly can I start?
Typically within a few days. The call-forwarding step on your phone takes about two minutes. Full answer →
