The receptionist for businesses on the move

Stop losing the calls you can't answer.

Roddy answers your business line only when you don't. Your phone still rings first — you stay in control — and Roddy quietly catches the calls you'd otherwise miss, books them, takes a message, or hands the urgent ones straight to you.

Call our fake plumbing shop — try to stump the receptionist.

Meet your receptionist — pick the face that fits:
Sound familiar?

The call you can't take is the customer you don't keep.

You already know the feeling. Here's where the work slips away.

The mid-job missed call

Both hands on a wrench, phone buzzing in your pocket. By the time you're clean, they've already dialed the next plumber in the list.

The voicemail nobody leaves

Your greeting plays, the caller hangs up. No name, no number, no idea who needed you or what for. The lead just vanishes.

The after-hours gap

The burst pipe doesn't wait for 9 AM. Calls come in after close, on weekends, mid-dinner — and there's nobody there to catch them.

Roddy doesn't take your calls — it catches the ones you were already missing.

The honest part

Worried an AI will embarrass you in front of your customers?

Fair concern. Here's exactly how Roddy is built so it doesn't.

Roddy only answers when you don't.

Your phone rings first, every time. Roddy doesn't intercept your calls — it picks up the ones that would have gone to a dead voicemail. Pick up, and it never engages.

It's upfront that it's a virtual receptionist.

No pretending to be a human staff member. If a caller asks, Roddy says it's the business's automated assistant — and it never gives medical or legal advice.

You get a transcript and summary of every call.

Nothing happens in the dark. Every call lands in your dashboard with a full transcript, a plain-English summary, and how the caller sounded — so you can check Roddy's work.

Books, takes a message, or transfers the urgent ones.

It books straightforward jobs into your calendar, takes a clear message when it can't, and patches genuinely urgent callers straight through to your cell.

How it works

Four steps. Mostly Roddy's.

It rides along with the phone you already have — your line still rings first.

1

Your phone rings first

A customer calls your business line. Your phone — or your whole team's — rings like it always has.

2

Roddy picks up when you can't

No answer? Roddy takes the call in a natural voice and finds out exactly what the caller needs.

3

Booked, answered, or handed to you

It books the job into your Google Calendar, answers questions, takes a message — or patches an urgent caller straight to you.

4

You get the full story

Every call lands in your dashboard with a summary, transcript, and sentiment. Bookings and messages hit your inbox too.

What Roddy does

Everything a great front desk does. None of the payroll.

Set it up your way, then let it answer your way — day and night.

Sounds like a person, works like a pro

No robot menus, no "press 1." Callers just talk, and Roddy just helps.

Booked straight onto your calendar

Roddy finds a slot that's actually free and puts the job on your Google Calendar while the caller's still on the line.

Answers the questions you answer all day

"Are you open Saturday?" "Do you come out to Pflugerville?" Handled — from the profile you control.

Messages that actually reach you

No more voicemail roulette. Roddy emails you who called and exactly what they need, the moment the call ends.

Real emergencies still reach you

Burst pipe at 2 PM? Roddy hears the urgency, patches the caller through to your cell, and emails you either way.

A note from the founder

I built Roddy because I kept missing calls while on the job — and every missed call was a customer who just dialed the next name on the list. For the first ten businesses, I set everything up personally, and you have my cell. No call center, no fake logos, no invented stats. Just a tool I needed, and a live line you can call right now to judge it yourself.
