Where the savings come from

Three costs, off the books.

A phone that's answered costs a small business in wages, in overtime, and in the calls that never got picked up. Duty Desk AI replaces all three with one fixed monthly fee.

What it does

Everything a good receptionist does on the phone.

Answers every call

First ring, any hour, in the caller's language. Greets them with your business name and answers only from the information you approved. If it isn't sure, it says so and takes a message.

Books appointments

On Book and Front Desk, it offers times from what you've told it, confirms on the call, and texts the caller a confirmation. Reminders go out the day before.

Texts you the message

Who called, what they need, how urgent, anything booked — on your phone seconds after they hang up. Urgent calls are flagged so they reach you first.

How it works

Pick a plan, forward your line, live immediately.

Reasonable business use means the call time included with your plan: 150 minutes a month on Answer, 300 on Book, 500 on Front Desk. Past that it's $0.50 a minute, and we email you at 80% used so nothing arrives as a surprise. *7-day guarantee: cancel within 7 days of purchase and your plan price is refunded; see the note at the bottom of this page.

Questions

Straight answers.

What if it isn't right for me?

Cancel within 7 days and we refund your plan price.* No forms, no questions — it's handled from your account.

Is there a contract?

No. Month to month; cancel from your account and service runs to the end of the paid month.

Can it actually replace a receptionist?

For what a phone rings about — answering, messages, bookings — yes. If your front desk also greets walk-ins or handles delicate calls that need judgment, Duty Desk AI is the coverage you're missing, not a full swap.

Does it pretend to be a person?

No. It introduces itself as your virtual receptionist, under the name you chose, and says so if asked.

What if I go past reasonable business use?

Each plan's allowance is in the small print under pricing. Past it you're billed $0.50 a minute, and we email you at 80% of the way there.

Where does the call data live?

Calls run on voice and telephony infrastructure based in the United States. Your business information and transcripts are yours. The receptionist number belongs to Duty Desk; you keep your own business number, and if you ever leave you simply stop forwarding it.

Who is behind Duty Desk AI?

Duty Desk is a service of Aldsen Inc., an AI implementation company in Mississauga, Ontario. Billing, receipts and your account live with Aldsen.

Stop paying for a phone that still goes to voicemail.

Pick a plan, forward your line, and every call is answered from tonight — for one flat price, with a 7-day money-back guarantee.*
