Skills

What your assistant can do

Every skill you can switch on, in plain words: what it does on a real call, what it needs from you, and what it costs to run. 24 articles.

Your assistant

Around-the-clock call answering

Your assistant answers your business number — hand it out or forward your line to it — works out what callers need, books or messages, and logs every call.

Recognized callers

When a repeat customer calls, your assistant recognizes their number and greets them by first name; recognition is by phone number only, never by voice.

Voicemail studio

Your own greeting plus a length cap, with every voicemail transcribed to your inbox and summarized; the fallback used after hours or if voice degrades.

Spam screening

Robocalls and solicitors are identified in the first seconds and politely ended; they never show in your stats, count against your calls, or wake you.

Emergency escalation

Two-way texting

Mid-call texting

While on a call, your assistant can text the caller a helpful link like your services page or directions, using your own details; it never texts prices.

Common questions

Do I have to turn every skill on?
No. Skills are switched on per business, one at a time, and your assistant is only ever allowed to do what you've enabled. Turning one on changes what it can do on a live call, so you can start with call answering alone and add the rest as you go.
Does Conduit send quotes, invoices, or take payments?
No. Conduit does not handle money. It answers calls, books work, texts missed callers back, and captures leads — quoting, invoicing, and payments stay in whatever you already use.
