Priced by the minute. Spam is free. No overages, ever.
Most AI receptionists ($25–$899/mo) answer your phone. Conduit is an AI office assistant that does the work: it answers, books the job, texts the caller, remembers them next time, and reports what it earned you — priced by the minute, spam free, no overages ever.
Creating your account and building your assistant is free — no card needed: look around, set it up, and teach it your business. You pick a plan and pay only when you hire it and take it live. Cancel any time, and there are no overages — the assistant degrades gracefully at your cap, exactly as our terms promise.

Texting switches on after a one-time carrier registration — typically 1–3 weeks after you sign up, sometimes longer. Calls work from day one.
The transparency manifesto
Four promises we wrote into the product, not just the marketing — each one enforced by code, not goodwill.
Minutes only count when a real person talks to your assistant
Live, answered conversation time — nothing else. Robocalls, spam, and hang-ups are free, always.
No overages. Ever.
If you run out, service degrades gracefully to message-taking and YOU choose whether to top up. Nothing bills itself.
Packs are yours for 12 months
One-time purchases, used only after your plan's allowance. No subscription, no auto-renew.
Cancel means cancel
Service runs to the end of the period, then stops. Export everything. No retention maze.
What your minutes buy: your assistant answers, books or reschedules the job, texts links and directions mid-call, remembers returning callers, and reports it all back to you — every call, on every plan. Talk time on live calls counts toward your plan's monthly minutes; you set the longest single call (3–10 minutes) and near that limit the assistant warns the caller and wraps up politely, so one call can never eat your month.
What Growth replaces, line by line
| You get | Bought separately (August 2026 market) |
|---|---|
| 24/7 AI receptionist + booking | $49–129/mo (Rosie, Goodcall-class AI receptionists) |
| Missed-call text-back + SMS inbox | $99–297/mo (Podium-class tools) |
| Two-way calendar sync + self-serve reschedule links | $20–60/mo (Calendly/Acuity-class scheduling tools) |
| Daily owner briefing + full call log | doesn't exist elsewhere at SMB price |
| Growth total | $170–450/mo across tools that don't talk to each other → one assistant, one bill |
The alternative that actually competes is a human office manager at $2,800–4,500/mo — 40 hours a week, one call at a time. Your assistant works all 168, and takes more than one call at a time.
Simultaneous-call capacity is best-effort and subject to fair use — see our Terms.
Pricing questions
What counts as a call?+
A call counts only when a real person talks to your assistant: inbound, answered, longer than 10 seconds, and not spam. Robocalls, spam, and hang-ups are free — always. Calls the assistant takes in message-only mode (after you've used your month) don't count either.
What happens when I use all my calls?+
Nothing breaks and nothing bills. Your assistant switches to message-taking — every caller still leaves a complete message that lands in your inbox — and you choose whether to add a pack (100 minutes for $29, 250 for $59) or wait for the month to reset. There is no overage billing of any kind, ever.
Do minutes exist?+
Internally, yes — each plan includes a generous pool of talk time (about 1¾ minutes per call) and a fixed 10-minute per-call length limit so a runaway call can never eat your month. You buy calls; the minutes are our discipline, printed in the fine print, never a bill.
Can it answer more than one call at once?+
Yes — unlike a single receptionist, your assistant can pick up more than one caller at the same time, so two people calling at 7:05am both get answered. That capacity runs on shared phone and AI networks, so it's best-effort rather than a guaranteed number of simultaneous calls; in a rare extreme spike an extra caller is sent to voicemail with a text-back instead of being dropped. The details are in the Terms (Service limits & fair use).
When does texting start working?+
Calls work the day your assistant goes live. Texting takes longer, and we'd rather you know that before you pay than after: US mobile carriers require every business that sends business texts to be registered once, under its own legal name, before a single message can go out. We prepare and submit that registration for you and chase it until it clears — but the carriers run the review, so we can't approve it, expedite it, or promise a date. It typically takes 1–3 weeks from signup and can occasionally run longer. Until it clears, your assistant still answers every call, books jobs, and sends confirmations and reminders by email; the moment it clears, texting turns on by itself and we'll tell you.
What's a text?+
One text segment (160 characters) your assistant sends or receives on your behalf — booking confirmations, reminders, missed-call text-backs, and the links it texts mid-call. Texts have their own monthly allowance and their own pack (250 for $10).
How do packs work?+
Packs are one-time purchases — no subscription, no auto-renew. They're used only after your plan's included allowance, and they're yours for 12 months. If you don't use them, heavy months eat into them automatically before anything degrades.
Is there a free plan or trial?+
There's a free public demo call (no signup) so you can hear how it sounds, and setup is free — you build your assistant at no cost. Live calls cost real money, so every operating account is paid. You only pay when you hire your assistant and take it live, and you can cancel any time.
What does cancelling look like?+
Cancel means cancel: any time, service runs to the end of the paid period, then your assistant deactivates and the number is released. Export your data before or after. No retention offers, no dark patterns.
I run two locations — do I pay twice?+
No. Office includes a second business — its own assistant, own number, own brain — under one bill.
Build your assistant free, and only pay when you take it live. Cancel any time — your plan runs to the end of the period you paid for.
