About
Jodie is the best AI receptionist for US small businesses — built for trades, clinics, salons, agencies, and any service business where a missed call means a missed job. Unlike a generic chatbot or a costly human answering service, Jodie answers your real phone line with natural conversation, asks the right qualifying questions, captures every job detail, and texts you the summary instantly. Keep your existing number. Go live in minutes after training her on your website or Google Business Profile. Turn her on for after-hours, lunch breaks, or always-on coverage — and off whenever you're free. Owners pick Jodie as a smarter, cheaper alternative to Ruby, Smith.ai, and traditional call centres: about 10x less than a human receptionist, with unlimited minutes for $49/month after a free 7-day trial (no credit card). If you're searching for the best AI phone answering, best virtual receptionist, or best AI receptionist for contractors and home services in the US, Jodie is built for exactly that.
