AI Concierge — Use case
AI Concierge for After-Hours Coverage — Capture the 5pm-9am Opportunity
Customers don't research at 10 AM Monday. They research at 11 PM Tuesday, 6 AM Friday, all weekend. An AI concierge captures every one with the same professional experience your daytime office provides.
Industry data shows 40-55% of inbound business inquiries come outside business hours. Most businesses lose them to voicemail. An AI Concierge keeps you 'open' 24/7 — handles inquiries, books appointments, captures leads, routes urgencies — without overtime, on-call schedules, or burned-out staff.
Cost comparison: a live answering service averages $1,500-5,000/mo for 24/7 coverage. An AI Concierge starts at $19.99/mo (consumer/solo) or $349/mo (multi-line business) with unlimited call volume.
For businesses with true emergencies (medical, legal, plumbing, etc.), the concierge knows the urgency triggers and routes those calls to your on-call provider while non-urgent ones get morning callback scheduled.

- →Dentist: weekend dental abscess — patient routed to emergency line, regular calls scheduled for Monday

Frequently asked questions
What happens when an emergency call comes in at 2 AM?+
You define the urgency rules. Real emergencies trigger immediate paging to your on-call (SMS, phone call, or both). Non-emergency calls get a friendly explanation that someone will call back when business hours resume.
Do I get a summary of what happened overnight?+
Yes — morning digest email lists every call: who, what, what was handled, what needs your follow-up.
Will my brand voice be maintained at 3 AM?+
Yes — the concierge uses your configured voice (warm/professional/casual) consistently 24/7. There's no 'tired night staff' degradation.
