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.
1 min readRecognized 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.
1 min readVoicemail 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.
1 min readSpam 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.
1 min readEmergency escalation
When a caller describes danger like gas, flooding, or sparking, your assistant advises 911 or the utility, then rings your emergency contacts in order.
1 min readAfter-hours answering
Choose what happens when you're closed: your assistant keeps answering fully, callers get voicemail plus a text-back, or calls forward to your cell.
1 min readConfirmations & reminders
Every booked job gets a confirmation text, a day-before reminder, and an optional morning-of reminder; customers can confirm or reschedule by reply.
1 min readMissed-call text-back
When a call is missed or abandoned, the caller gets a text within seconds, before they dial the next shop; needs carrier texting approval.
1 min readTwo-way texting
Customers text your business number and your assistant replies to booking questions and follow-ups; you see every thread and can take over instantly.
1 min readMid-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.
1 min readAssistant inbox
One place where everything your assistant does lands: overnight voicemails, call reports, quote and invoice updates, each item linking to its evidence.
1 min readMorning briefing
Every morning at your chosen time: calls answered, jobs booked, money quoted, and the short list of things that need you, by email, text, or both.
1 min readMonthly recap
On the first business day of each month, one inbox card shows what your assistant did last month, every number a real count from your account.
1 min readQuestions it couldn't answer
When callers ask something your assistant can't answer, it notes the question; recurring ones become an inbox card you answer in a sentence to teach it.
1 min readWebsite prefill
Paste your website or Google Business Profile link at setup and your services, FAQs, and hours are drafted for you to review and edit.
1 min readUniversal search
Press Cmd-K to search everything — contacts, calls, texts, quotes, invoices, jobs — with fuzzy matching so 'the lady with the noisy furnace' finds Judy.
1 min readLead sync (Zapier & webhooks)
Send every completed call and booked appointment to any tool via a webhook (a Zapier Catch Hook works out of the box) as signed, verifiable JSON.
1 min readEmail inbox (coming soon)
Coming soon: give your assistant its own email address and auto-forward chosen mail; it triages, summarizes, and drafts replies for your approval.
1 min readFull email sync (coming soon)
Coming soon: true two-way sync with Gmail or Outlook so your assistant can send as you; ships after the providers' security reviews.
1 min readReview requests (coming soon)
Coming soon: after a job wraps, the customer gets a friendly text asking for a Google review; tell us you want it and we'll notify you when it ships.
1 min readSocial marketing (coming soon)
Coming soon: Facebook and Instagram posts drafted from your real jobs and reviews, sequenced after the money features earn your trust.
1 min readDispatcher brain
A planned upgrade, not active yet: routing bookings around addresses, drive time, and your crew. For now, set your service area in Settings → Business.
1 min readScheduling
Booking & scheduling
Your assistant books real jobs into your open slots, never double-books, and reads the booking back; callers can reschedule or cancel by phone.
1 min readCalendar sync
Connect Google Calendar so bookings appear within seconds and your own events block those slots; Google is the only provider today, not Outlook or Yahoo.
1 min readCommon 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.
