Every call answered. 24/7. In your company's words.

Our AI picks up your business line, answers like someone who works there, quotes the job and books it. It does that at two in the afternoon and at two in the morning. A front-desk hire runs $37,670 a year in wages, and works weekdays.

$297 CAD to start, then $97/mo on a one-year term. That is our own line, answered by the same system you would be buying. Ask it for a quote.

The short answer

MannVenture's AI receptionist answers your business phone 24/7, in your company's words. It answers questions, quotes the work, books the job and sends you the recording, the transcript and the summary. $97 CAD a month plus a one-time $297 implementation fee, on a one-year term. A front-desk hire runs $37,670 a year in wages, before employer costs.

Call 236-500-MANN. That is our real line, and the AI answers it.

It is the same agent you would be buying, configured for our business instead of yours. Here is how to catch it out.

The question you are actually asking: will this embarrass me?

It is the right question. Your name is on the truck, and a bad phone experience costs you more than a missed call does.

So here is exactly what happens.

If a caller asks whether they are talking to a person, it tells them the truth.

It says it is an assistant for your business and carries on. It does not pretend, and it does not perform a personality.

When it does not know something, it says so and gets you.

It does not guess at a price, invent an availability, or improvise a policy. You set what it can quote and what it must escalate.

Emergencies go straight to your phone.

You write the rules for what counts. No heat in January, water on a floor, whatever your trade's version of urgent is.

You hear every call.

Recording, transcript and a plain summary, in your inbox. Nothing is relayed to you second hand, and nothing happens in your business that you cannot listen to.

If it is not right, we keep working until it is.

In your first 30 days that work is at no extra charge, implementation fee included. There is no form to argue with to get it fixed.

We built this on our own line first and let strangers call it before we sold it to anyone.

The phone rings hardest exactly when you cannot reach it.

A call answered is a job booked, not a message to return.

  • Answered every time, at two in the morning and on a Sunday
  • Callers get quoted and booked without waiting for you to call back
  • Every call recorded, transcribed and summarised, so nothing gets reconstructed from memory
  • Emergencies route straight to you, on rules you write
  • You stop losing the job to whoever picked up first

You do not change your number, and you do not lose it.

Forward it

Your number stays exactly where it is with your current carrier. Calls forward to the AI. Nothing about your billing or your listings changes, and you can switch the forwarding off yourself in under a minute.

Port it

We move the number onto our system. Same number, one bill fewer.

Either way it is your number. If you ever leave, it leaves with you.

Wages are $37,670 CAD a year from WorkBC's Receptionists career profile, checked 20 July 2026; employer costs on top are real and are not in it. The answering-service price is from smith.ai/pricing/receptionists on the same date and is in US dollars. Ours are in Canadian dollars and exclude tax. The honest limit is unchanged: it is very good at the first ninety seconds of a phone call, and anything unusual it hands to you.

Everything it costs, including the month you go over.

$97CAD a month

One-time $297 implementation fee

One-year term, billed monthly. At the end of the year it renews for another twelve months at the then-current rate, unless you tell us before it does.

Included: 75 calls a month. Past that, $0.75 CAD per call. Spam and wrong numbers do not count.

We don't stop configuring until your AI receptionist answers every call, quotes accurately, and books the job. If it's not right in your first 30 days, we keep working at no extra charge until it is, implementation fee included.

No hourly billing. No mystery quotes. No surprise invoice.

All prices are in Canadian dollars and exclude tax.

If you are busier than that

75 calls is two or three a day. A month where the phone rings 150 times costs $97 plus $56.25. You see the count in your dashboard all month, so it never arrives as a surprise.

One-year term, billed monthly. At the end of the year it renews for another twelve months at the then-current rate, unless you tell us before it does.

If you leave before the term is up, early termination is 3 months of the monthly subscription: $291 CAD at $97 a month. The one-time implementation fee covers work already delivered and is not refunded.

The AI Receptionist runs on its own.

Answering the phone is half of it. The AI Website answers the people who find you online, quoting and booking them the same way, and the AI Growth Engine is what makes the phone ring more often in the first place.

All three bought together are the Complete System, $397/mo CAD and a one-time $997 implementation fee. That is $94 less every month, and $94 off the implementation fee, than buying the three separately.

You could be answering every call by the end of next week.

  1. Today

    You start the setup and book your call. Nothing touches your phone line yet.

  2. Day one

    Thirty minutes. How you answer the phone, what you quote, what counts as an emergency, who it reaches and when.

  3. Days two to four

    We build the agent on your business, wire it into how you take bookings, and test it. You get a number to call and try before anything touches your real line.

  4. When you say go

    You forward your line, or we port it. Not before you have heard it yourself.

  5. Every month after

    Recordings, transcripts and summaries in your inbox, and we keep tuning it on what your real callers actually ask.

Nothing goes near your real phone number until you have called the agent yourself and said yes.

What owners ask before they forward their line.

An AI agent that answers your business phone like someone who works there. It greets callers in your company's words, answers their questions, quotes the job, books it, and hands you the recording, the transcript and the summary. Ours runs 24/7 and hands anything unusual to you.

$97 CAD a month plus a one-time $297 implementation fee, on a one-year term. Caller qualification, emergency routing, recordings, transcripts and summaries are all included. A front-desk hire runs $37,670 a year in wages, before employer costs and still clocks out at five. Prices exclude tax.

No. We forward or port your existing number, whichever you prefer. Either way it stays your number.

It says so and routes the call to you, and it flags emergencies immediately. You set the rules for what gets escalated. Everything else gets answered, booked and summarised.

If they ask, it tells them, plainly. Most callers care about one thing: somebody picked up, answered the question and booked them in. Call 236-500-MANN and judge for yourself.

Calls past 75 a month bill at $0.75 CAD each. Spam and wrong numbers don't count. You can see the running count in your dashboard, so it never arrives unannounced.

An answering service takes a message. This answers the question, quotes the work and books the job, then sends you the recording, the transcript and the summary.

Some field-service tools now bundle one. The difference is that ours is set up for your business by people who do it for a living, wired to your website and your follow-up, and tuned every month on what your real callers ask.
