Capture and follow up
AI lead capture and follow-up that replies while they’re still interested.
Every inquiry goes to one place, gets a personal reply right away and receives follow-up until it answers or books. You see who to call first.
A good fit for
- Businesses buying leads from ads or directories
- Teams that reply to inquiries between other jobs
- Owners who lose track of who has been followed up

FAQ
Questions about AI lead capture and instant follow-up
Will the replies sound automated?
We write them with you, in your tone, and use the details the lead shared. Where a reply needs AI, it works from your approved information and rules.
Can it work with the lead sources we already pay for?
Usually, yes. Most sources offer a form connection, an API or email notifications we can read. We confirm each source during the audit.
What happens when a lead replies?
Automated follow-up stops. The conversation either continues with the assistant or moves to your team, depending on the rules you choose.
Often paired with
Missed-call text-back and appointment booking
Missed calls become text conversations and booked appointments instead of lost jobs.
