AI reception

She picks up.She calls back.

We paid an answering service $500 a month to transfer callers blind and promise callbacks nobody tracked. I own nine laundromats in Des Moines. CallsBack.ai is what I built to replace them — and it runs my stores today.

Chat with Demo Laundromat

Same Demo Laundromat facts as the phone line — web chat, not a substitute for hearing her answer your number.

Web chat for Demo Laundromat lives on the product page so this homepage stays fast on phones.

Built in the stores

Why I built CallsBack.ai

Twenty-seven years in enterprise IT, then nine laundromats. The phones were the part I couldn't fix with staffing: the same eight questions, at hours nobody wants to work, from people who'd already tried voicemail once and given up. I built the receptionist for my own stores first. She's answered over a thousand calls for us. That's the only reason she's for sale.

— Mike Ramberg, The Laundry Place, Des Moines

Receptionist

Voicemail is where callers give up. She isn’t.

On the demo line: hours, pricing, machine status, card balance, mid-call SMS — and she takes a message and texts the team. Real store tools on the live demo.

Voicemail replacement paths & config →

Assistant

Call her. Hand off tasks. She works the phones.

Owner-assistant outbound is in testing. Receptionist mode on the demo line is live today — hear it yourself.

CallsBack answers everything. FollowsUp makes sure nothing — and no one — slips away.

Pairs with followsup.aiemail and SMS before the call; CallsBack is the live voice when the lead needs a human. One pipeline, two products.

Live today

What she actually does

Voicemail replacement

Voicemail is where callers give up. She isn’t. Answers every call — hours, machines, store questions — for a real operating store.

Mid-call SMS

She texts you directions, links, and confirmations while you’re still talking.

Takes a message and texts the team

When a caller needs a human, she takes a message and texts the team so someone can follow up.

Languages (in testing)

Spanish detects and answers — in testing. Live interpretation for staff transfers is being built. No language ships by name until it passes our tests.

Laundry-card balance

FasCard balance on the live call path through LaundryOS — proven on real store traffic.

Pricing

Three plans. One setup fee.

Store $149 · Store+Card $249 · Fleet (5+) on the call. Setup $299 once per location. Add-ons: Owner Assistant $99/mo · Staff Assistant (per user) $39/mo. Full add-on list and a cost calculator on the pricing page.
