An answering service for small business, and the whole front office behind it

An answering service for small business usually stops at a message slip. Zanus AI keeps going: the same AI picks up the phone, the website chat, the e-mail and the web forms, then books the appointment, drafts the quote for your yes, follows up, opens the support request and gives your staff answers from your own documents. Whether you run a repair shop, a dance studio, a cleaning service or an accounting office, every customer gets the same quick and correct answer at every door, and every conversation lands on one record. Each module below is shown at work in a local business with its own screen. Start the 7-day free trial with your own website, get the AI demo, or open the module's page for every detail.

Answers & books: no inquiry left ringing

Calls, chats, e-mails and forms answered at once, and the appointment, the visit or the job put in the right calendar.

AI Phone

The local business line answered while you serve the counter

AI Phone is the answering service for small business owners who cannot leave the customer at the counter. It picks up your local business number from the first ring, day or night, in the caller's own language, and your number stays yours. It books a haircut or a repair drop-off during the call, answers from what you approved, and transfers anyone who asks for you, saying first who it is and what they need. Nobody free? It takes a message and reads the callback number back.

AI Booking

Local appointments booked into each person's own free hours

AI Booking fills the calendar of your local business from every door: a call, the website chat, a web form or your own booking page. A client wants the late lesson on Tuesday, an office needs the carpet cleaner on Friday, a bride asks for a fitting: each lands in the free slot of the right person, room or resource, at the right location. Every customer is verified before the booking enters your book, and a reminder goes out before the day.

AI Webchat

Website visitors of your local shop answered by text or voice

AI Webchat is the answering service for small business websites. A neighbor browsing your local shop's pages at eleven at night asks whether you fix electric bikes and where to park, by typing or by speaking, in any of 40 languages, and gets the answer from your pages and approved documents only. When the visitor is ready, the chat books the visit in the same conversation, and it offers a person when asked or whenever it is not sure.

AI E-mail

Every customer e-mail to your local business sorted and drafted

AI E-mail reads each message that reaches your local business inbox and sorts it by department: a catering order to sales, a late delivery question to service, a request for an invoice copy to the office. It drafts every reply from approved information, in the customer's own language. You pick the kinds that go out on their own, like directions or holiday hours; the rest waits for a person with the draft already written.

AI Web Forms

Web form requests from local customers answered on arrival

AI Web Forms puts forms on your website that reply the moment they are sent, in the customer's language. A homeowner asking about a local move answers up to five questions of your own: how many rooms, which floor, which date. The form can collect a file, such as a photo of the job, or book a slot. It reads your screening rules, and the contact record of that customer is created on the spot.

AI Avatar

A talking face that welcomes local visitors in their own language

AI Avatar gives your website chat a face whose lips follow her voice. A visitor who would rather listen than read is greeted by voice or text in her own language, then hears your studio's class schedule or your shop's return policy explained from your approved pages. When the question belongs to someone on your team, she hands over to the right person at your local business, and she never pretends to be a member of your staff.

Sells: quotes out the same day and every lead followed up

Quotes from your price list, proposals, e-mail campaigns and gift cards, with every reminder stopping the moment a customer writes back.

AI CRM

A customer record for every local regular, filled without typing

AI CRM fills itself from the calls, chats, e-mails and forms your local business already receives. The regular who books a trim every month, the property manager who sends cleaning requests, the new caller from across town: each one has a single record holding the whole conversation, with its source, language and time zone. People from the same company are grouped together, and a deal opens on the first sign that someone wants to buy.

AI Quoting

Quotes for local jobs priced from your own list, sent on your yes

AI Quoting prices what callers, chat visitors and e-mails ask for using your own price list: a fence repair, a set of curtains, a weekly office clean, or a purchase order from a local company down the street. Every quote waits for your yes before it leaves. The customer reads and accepts it on their own quote page, then pays the way you already take payments; the AI takes no card itself.

AI Proposal Studio

Proposals for bigger local projects written from your rate card

AI Proposal Studio handles the larger requests that reach a local business with documents attached: a landscaping plan for an office park, a renovation brief, a year of event catering. It reads the request and every attachment page by page, asks three questions at most, writes from your own knowledge and prices each line from your rate card, printed on your letterhead. A manager approves it, a person on your team sends it, and it is tracked from then on.

AI Inventory

Stock and rentals of your local store answered on every call

AI Inventory keeps the list of what you sell, rent or service, each item with its pictures, price and quantity. When someone calls your local store to ask whether the blue patio umbrella is in stock, the AI checks, gives the price written on its card and e-mails the item's page. It can hold the umbrella for that caller for the hours you set, or book the rental of a pressure washer for Saturday.

AI Gift Cards

Gift cards from your local shop sold at the desk, by phone and online

AI Gift Cards lets neighbors buy a gift for an amount or for a named service, like a massage, a pack of lessons or a car detailing, on your own gift page, on the phone, in the chat or at your desk. A card bought never expires and carries no fee, and you can print QR cards for the counter. Your staff redeem them on any phone or during a call, and a local company can order ten or more as one quote.

AI Follow-up

Open estimates followed up until the local customer writes back

AI Follow-up writes to the people who asked and then went quiet: the inquiry about weekend hours, the quote for new kitchen blinds still unanswered. Each e-mail is written fresh from what that customer actually said, not a canned reminder. The moment they reply, the follow-up stops and the answer reaches your staff, so a hectic month at your local business does not cost you the jobs you already priced.

AI Marketing

Seasonal e-mail campaigns to the local customers who said yes

AI Marketing sends your local business's e-mail campaigns to the group of contacts you filter: last spring's lawn customers, everyone who bought a gift card, the parents of this year's swim students. Each campaign is written from your approved knowledge in each customer's language, and only contacts whose consent allows it receive one. When someone replies to ask about a date or a detail, the AI answers or passes the reply to a person.

AI Auto-Call

Tomorrow's local visits confirmed by a call in each language

AI Auto-Call rings the customers of your local business from your own number to remind and confirm: the piano lesson in the morning, the lawn crew on Tuesday, the alteration pickup before the weekend. It places many calls at once, each in the customer's language, and listens for the answer. A yes confirms, a no frees the slot for someone else, and a request for another day goes to your staff. Every answer is logged.

AI Demo

A personal walk-through of your services for each local prospect

AI Demo builds a personal presentation for one prospect from your pages, pictures and videos: the office manager comparing cleaning services, the couple choosing a wedding photographer. Once you release it, Lisa presents it live on a personal link in the prospect's language, and they can stop her with a question at any moment. Whatever she cannot answer goes to your gap log, so your local business learns what to add next.

AI Live Meetings opens a room with your local business's name on it. The client joins from a link in the browser, nothing to install, and your before-and-after photos, floor plans and videos are one click away. STAND BY hides your screen while you open a private file, Lisa's notes wait for your confirmation, and on a support call you can share the screen to walk a customer through a setting.

AI Online Meetings lets a client meet you from their own browser, with no install and no account: a first consultation at a local interior design studio, a quarterly review with the bookkeeper, a study plan with a tutor. Guests wait in your branded waiting room until you admit them, each kind of meeting has its own template, and Lisa writes the summary, the decisions and the next steps for your yes.

AI Partner Portal

Local referral partners and resellers approved on your terms

AI Partner Portal gives the companies that refer or resell you one link to apply, or an invitation from you: the local hardware store that sends you installation jobs, the realtor who recommends your cleaning crew. The AI researches each applicant on the web for your review. You approve with the scopes you choose and a status that ends on its date, set wholesale tiers, and the Approved tab counts each partner's demos and sales.

Supports: every complaint, return and callback tracked

Service requests, returns and warranty claims checked against your rules, and the calls your people take written down.

AI Tickets

Every local service complaint tracked from first call to answer

AI Tickets turns the calls, chats, e-mails and forms about a problem into tracked requests: the dryer that still squeaks after the repair, the order that arrived short, the class credit that did not show up. Each one carries the whole conversation with the customer identified. The AI answers what your knowledge covers and leaves the rest for the person you name, so nothing your local business promised slips between shifts.

AI Returns & Warranty

Local store returns and repairs judged against your own rules

AI Returns & Warranty starts with troubleshooting, since a simple reset can spare the customer a trip back to your local store. When a return is still needed, the AI finds the purchase in your records, works out the warranty, checks the request against the rules you wrote in plain words and asks for what is missing, such as a photo of the receipt. Every return waits for your yes, and every e-mail is written for you.

Calls your local team takes written down on the customer's record

AI Calls Transcripts writes down the calls your people take on the computer, in the phone app and on every leg the AI transferred, with a short summary on the customer's record, right beside what the AI said before them. When the owner of a local business wants to know what was promised to a caller last week, the answer is there in writing. Recording stays off until you switch it on.

AI Calls Teleprompter

The right answer on screen while a local customer is still talking

AI Calls Teleprompter puts the answer from your own knowledge on your team member's screen while the customer talks, with its source: the warranty on a water heater, the cancellation rule for classes, the parking at your second location. It never speaks to the customer. Your person stays the voice of the call, only better informed, which helps a new hire at a local business answer like someone who has been there for years.

AI Team Assistant

Staff questions at your local business answered from your own files

AI Team Assistant answers your staff from your documents and the records each person is allowed to open, never from the internet. Which supplier do we use for replacement glass? What does our service agreement say about late arrivals? Every answer cites the document and the page it came from. When nothing is written down, it says so plainly and logs the gap, so you see which local know-how still lives only in someone's head.

AI Chat for your team

Research for a local shop's next purchase, with every source shown

AI Chat for your team searches the web the way your staff ask: which commercial vacuum lasts longest, which supplier nearby carries a replacement part this week, what shoppers say about a new line before you stock it. It reads the pages, shows where every fact came from and checks it before you act on it. It never reads your records, so a local business can research freely without opening its customer files.

AI Knowledge holds your website, documents, rules and facts in one tree that the phone, the chat and the e-mail all answer from. Your opening hours, delivery area, care instructions and refund policy sit there once. A question it cannot answer is left for your staff, never guessed. The rules are tested every night, and nothing new goes live until a person on your team approves it, so the customers of your local business hear one story.

AI Team Training lets the person who knows the job explain it once, by talking or by typing: how to open the register, how to measure a room for carpet, how to greet a walk-in at your local shop. Lisa then teaches it to every new hire by voice and on screen, on a personal link. The new hire can ask a question at any moment, then answers a spoken test, and you see who finished.

AI File Cabinet is one archive shaped like a real cabinet: drawers, then a file per customer, supplier or lease, with folders inside. Each document is read the moment it arrives, so the signed estimate for a local kitchen job or a supplier's warranty letter is found again at its exact page. You set rights and retention per drawer, and every time a file is opened, the opening is audited.

The whole story of a local customer, from first call to last visit

AI Time Machine builds a timeline from your own records, a customer's history or a project's story, with every visit, letter, note and document at its date. Before you call back the client whose roof job ran long, you see each step in order: the first inquiry, the estimate, the change of plan, the complaint. It informs; a person on your local business team decides what happens next.

A day at the front desk

A day of customer inquiries at a local business

A local business hears from its customers through six doors in a single day, usually while everyone is busy with someone else. One AI stands behind every door, and your people see only what truly needs them.

Calls before the doors open

The first callers want to know when you open, whether there is a slot today and how long the work takes. Each one is answered on your own number and booked with the right person, and a supplier who asks for the owner is put through with a word on who is calling and why.

A voice question in the website chat

A visitor on your services page taps the microphone and asks, in Spanish, whether you work in her part of town and what a first visit includes. The chat answers out loud from your own pages, then books her for Thursday afternoon before she closes the tab.

A price request over lunch

A web form asks what you would charge for a job you do every week. The customer gets a reply in seconds, the quote is drafted from your own price list, and it sits on your list until you approve it between two customers; only then does it go out.

A return while the shop is full

A customer e-mails about something bought last month that stopped working. The request is checked against your return and warranty rules, opened as a tracked request in the customer's own words, and placed in front of the person who handles returns, while you keep serving the line at the counter.

Tomorrow's bookings confirmed

AI Auto-Call phones everyone on tomorrow's schedule, each in their own language. A yes keeps the booking, a no opens the slot for the next person who calls, and anyone who wants another day is put on your team's list to rebook.

An e-mail after you lock up

A message asks whether you can take a large order for a party next weekend. AI E-mail sorts it to sales and drafts the reply from your rules. You read it with your morning coffee, change one line, send it, and a follow-up is set that stops the moment the customer answers.

Your rules

Where the AI stops and your people take over

A small business answering service has to know where its job ends. You set the limits once, and the AI keeps them at every door, day and night.

Only what you approved

It answers from your website, your price list and the rules you wrote. A question outside them is passed to the person you name, never guessed.

No payments taken

The AI takes no card numbers and charges no one. It answers, books, holds and quotes; the payment stays with your register or your own checkout.

Quotes and refunds wait for you

A quote leaves only on your yes, and a return or warranty request that falls outside your rules goes to a person to decide.

No professional advice

For offices whose work is advice, such as a law, tax or insurance office, the AI gives none: it answers from what you approved and books the conversation with a professional.

A person when your rules say so

You choose, department by department: AI only, AI first or a person first. A caller who asks for you reaches you, with a word on who is calling and why.

Compared

Small business answering service compared: voicemail, a live answering service, a hire or AI

When the phone rings in the middle of a sale, a job or a session, small business owners weigh the same choices: let it go to voicemail, pay a live answering service staffed by a call center, hire another person, or put one AI on every door.

Frequently asked questions

Questions small business owners ask about an answering service

What is an AI answering service for small business?

It is one AI that picks up your phone, website chat, e-mail and web forms the moment a customer reaches out, answers from your own website and price list, and books the appointment or the job. Zanus AI goes further than a message pad: it confirms, reminds, drafts quotes for your yes and follows up, and every conversation lands on one customer record that fills itself.

Can I keep my business phone number?

Yes. The number on your sign, your business cards and your online listings stays exactly as it is. You forward it to the AI the way you would to any answering service, with no porting, no new phone system and nothing to install, and you can stop forwarding whenever you like.

What happens when a caller asks for me or someone on my team?

The AI transfers the call to the person who should take it and tells them first who is calling and why, so nobody picks up cold. If no one is free, it takes a message and reads the callback number back to the caller, so the number you call is the right one.

Can customers book appointments straight into my calendar?

Yes. Customers book by phone, chat or web form into the calendar of the right person, room or resource: a stylist's chair, a service bay, a lesson slot or a meeting room. Each booking gets a confirmation and reminders, and AI Auto-Call can place a reminder call that takes the answer: yes confirms, no frees the slot.

Does it answer after hours and on weekends?

Yes, day and night, every day of the year. After you close, the AI keeps answering under the after-hours rules you write: it books open slots, answers questions from your website, takes messages and holds anything that needs a person for the morning. An urgent call can be transferred to whoever you name.

Does it handle website chat and e-mail too?

Yes. The website chat answers visitors by text or by voice in 40 languages, from your own pages, with a talking avatar if you want one, and books them before they leave. Web forms get a reply in seconds. AI E-mail sorts every message by department and drafts the reply; you choose what goes out by itself and what waits for a person.

Can it send quotes and follow up with people who asked for a price?

Yes. The AI drafts each quote from your own price list, and nothing reaches the customer until you say yes. Then the follow-ups go out on their own and stop the moment the customer replies, so the jobs you quoted in a busy week are not lost while you are working.

What kinds of local businesses is it for?

Any small business that serves customers in its town and hears from them by phone, chat, e-mail or form: shops and boutiques, salons and studios, repair, cleaning and moving services, fitness and lesson businesses, offices and agencies. You tell Lisa what you sell, who does what and when you are open, and the AI answers as your business, in your words.

Will it replace the people who answer our phones?

That is not what it is for. It takes the repeat questions, the overflow during a rush and the calls after closing, so the people you have can stay with the customer in front of them. You choose for each department whether the AI answers alone, answers first or passes the customer to a person first.

Does the AI give advice or take payments?

No to both. It answers only from what your business approved and passes everything else to a person; in an office whose work is advice, such as legal, tax or insurance, it books the conversation with a professional instead of answering. It takes no card payments: it answers, books, holds and quotes, and the payment stays with you.

How much does an answering service for small business cost?

Zanus AI is priced per company, never per seat, so your whole team works under one subscription however many people answer customers. You choose the modules your business needs, and the plans are on the pricing page. The free trial costs nothing and asks for no card.

Which languages can it speak with my customers?

Your customers' own. The phone answers each caller in the language they speak, the website chat works in 40 languages, and a call can be passed to the person on your team who speaks it. Your neighborhood may speak several languages, and your front office can answer in every one of them.

How fast can it start answering my customers?

In about 2 minutes. Forward your line and tell Lisa your services, your team, your hours and your prices. She reads your website for everything else, shows you each change before it goes live, and the AI starts answering as soon as you say yes.

What is the difference between the 7-day free trial and the demo?

The free trial builds a private sandbox of your own business from your website for 7 days, with no card: a phone line that answers as you, your site with Lisa on it and a dashboard. The demo needs nothing from you: a ready-made AI front office reaches your inbox in about 2 minutes.
