ObraVoice

Your phone gets answered.
In English and Spanish.

You are on a roof, under a sink, or driving. ObraVoice picks up, talks to the caller in their own language, gets the name, the number, the address and the job — and sends it straight to your phone.

Built for California contractors. Now onboarding our first customers.

A missed call is a missed job

27%

of calls to home-service contractors go unanswered. That is the most conservative number we found — other studies say worse.

$1,400–1,800

is the average HVAC job. One call you never hear about costs more than a year of answering it.

$245–325

per month is what a human answering service charges — $245 for 50 minutes, $325 for 100. Ours starts at $99 for 200.

How it works

Step 1

Forward your line

Keep your number. Forward it to ObraVoice when you are busy, after hours, or all the time — your choice.

Step 2

It answers and asks

English or Spanish, whichever the caller speaks. Name, callback number, job address, what they need. Nothing invented, nothing promised.

Step 3

You get the lead

The second the call ends it is in the ObraVoice app on your phone — who called, how long, every word they said, and a Call back button.

Hear it before you buy it

The same wind knocked down the same fence twice: once for an English-speaking caller, once for a Spanish-speaking one. Nothing here is scripted — the assistant is answering questions it has not seen before.

“A section of my fence came down”

Read it instead

Assistant: Sierra Fence and Repair. This is the assistant. How can I help you?

Caller: Hi, yes, last night's wind actually knocked down a section of my backyard wooden fence, and I need someone to come out and take a look at it this week if possible.

Assistant: I understand. What is your name and best callback number?

Caller: My name is Maria Lopez, and my number is (559) 555-0148.

Assistant: Thank you, Ms. Lopez. Let me read that number back to you: 559-555-0148. Is that correct?

Caller: Yes, that is correct.

Assistant: And what is the address of the job, including the city?

Caller: It's at 1215 Oak Street, right here in Fresno.

Assistant: Got it. And when would you like the work to be begun?

Caller: I'd really like to get someone out here to look at it this week, especially since there are nails sticking out and I have a dog to worry about.

Assistant: I understand your urgency. I can't promise a specific date, but the owner will call you back to schedule. To confirm, it's 1215 Oak Street in Fresno for a knockdown wooden fence. The owner will call you back. Goodbye.

Caller: Thank you so much, I'll be waiting for the call. Goodbye.

“El viento tiró una sección de la cerca”

Read it instead

Assistant: This is Sierra Fence and Repair, I'm the assistant. How can I help you?

Caller: Hola, buenas tardes. Mire, es que el viento de anoche tiró una sección de la cerca de madera de mi patio trasero y necesito que alguien venga a repararla esta misma semana.

Assistant: Entiendo. Para programar una visita ¿podría darme su nombre y un número de teléfono?

Caller: Sí, claro. Mi nombre es María López y mi número de teléfono es el (559) 555-0148.

Assistant: Gracias, María López. ¿Podría verificar que el número es 559 555 0148?

Caller: Sí, exacto, ese es mi número: 559 555 0148.

Assistant: ¿Y cuál es la dirección del trabajo, incluyendo la ciudad?

Caller: La dirección es 1215 Oak Street, aquí en Fresno.

Assistant: De acuerdo, ¿y qué tipo de trabajo necesitan realizar?

Caller: Es para reparar una sección de la cerca de madera que se cayó; tiene clavos salidos y me urge porque tengo un perro y necesito que vengan esta semana.

Assistant: Entendido, es para reparar una sección de la cerca de madera. No puedo prometer una fecha exacta, pero el propietario la llamará para coordinar. ¿Hay alguna otra pregunta o detalle?

Caller: No, eso sería todo por ahora. Espero la llamada del contratista entonces, muchas gracias.

Assistant: Repito, el nombre es María López, número 5 5 9 5 5 5 0 1 4 8, y es para reparar una cerca de madera en Fresno. El propietario le llamará para coordinar. Gracias por llamar a Sierra Fence and Repair.

Caller: Muchas gracias a usted, estaré esperando la llamada. ¡Que tenga un buen día! Adiós.

Assistant: Igualmente. Adiós.

Recorded August 26, 2026 against our own line. The contractor, the caller, the address and the number are invented — we have no customers yet and will not borrow anyone's story. The assistant's thinking pauses are shortened; nobody's words are edited.

Or call it yourself, right now

Talk to it like a customer would. Try it in Spanish too.

(213) 566-1136

This is a live demo line. It will tell you it is an AI and that the call is transcribed — every caller hears that first.

The call is only the start

Every ObraVoice account comes with an app that installs on your phone's home screen — no app store, no download. It is where the lead lands, and where the paperwork gets done before you leave the driveway.

Calls

Every call written out in the caller's own words, with a Call back button. Search it when you cannot remember who the Tuesday guy with the leaking water heater was.

Estimates by voice

Talk it through — “two hundred linear feet of cedar fence, tear-out, two guys, two days” — and it comes back as a line-item estimate in feet, sheets and gallons. You fix the numbers before anything leaves your phone.

Contracts, invoices, change orders

The estimate the homeowner accepted becomes the contract, the contract becomes the invoice, and extra work becomes a written change order instead of an argument. The notices California requires are printed for you, and the app picks the short form or the full one by the job — not by a checkbox you might get wrong.

Hours

Clock your crew in and out per job. Overtime is figured by California's rules — over 8 and over 12 in a day, over 40 in a week, the seventh day in a row — and the hours land on that job's invoice.

Jobs

One address, one folder: the call it came from, the estimate, the contract, the hours and the invoice, in the order it happened.

Your license, on every page

California requires your CSLB number on estimates and advertising. You type it once in Settings and it prints on every document you send.

Every document downloads as a PDF and can be emailed to the homeowner from the app. Sending documents by text is built and waiting on carrier registration — until it clears, you send by email or share the PDF yourself. The app is in English and Spanish, and switches with one tap.

What it will never do

It never quotes a price

No rates, no estimates, no promises about when you will show up. It takes the message and says you will call back.

It never gives safety advice

Gas, wiring, structure — it does not guess. If someone describes an emergency, it stops the conversation and tells them to hang up and call 911.

It never pretends to be human

The first thing every caller hears is that they are talking to an AI assistant and that the call is transcribed.

It never says you are licensed or insured

Those words are regulated in California. Only you say them, in your own words, on your own paperwork.

Get started

A human answering service costs $245–325 for 50–100 minutes. One saved HVAC call pays for a year of Pro.

Run past your minutes and the line keeps answering — we tell you, we do not hang up on your customers. Charging for minutes over the package starts only when card payments do, and we will say so before it does.

Card payments are not switched on yet. Today we set the line up with you and you pay by invoice once it is answering your calls.

Get started

Tell us where to reach you. We set up your line, you try it on real calls, and billing only starts once it is live and you say so.

We are a new company taking on our first California customers. We do not have a wall of logos to show you, and we are not going to invent one. Call the demo line above and judge it yourself.

Questions

Do I have to change my phone number?

No. You keep your number and forward it — always, after hours, or only when you do not pick up. Your carrier does this in a couple of taps.

How good is the Spanish?

It is not a translation of an English script — the assistant speaks Spanish natively and stays in it for the whole call. Call the demo line and try it.

How do I actually get the message — do you text me?

The call lands in the ObraVoice app on your phone the second it ends, and you can have it pushed to you in Telegram as well. Text messages are built but not switched on yet: US carriers make every business register before it can send them, ours is filed and pending. We would rather say that than promise you a text that never arrives.

Is there an app to install?

There is an app, and there is nothing to install from a store. You open obravoice.com/app on your phone, sign in, and add it to your home screen — after that it opens like any other app. It works in English and Spanish.

What happens in an emergency?

If a caller describes gas, fire, injury or violence, the assistant stops taking a message, tells them to hang up and dial 911, and alerts you immediately. It never calls 911 for them: emergency dispatch is routed by the phone's registered address, so a call placed by our server would send help to the wrong place.

Are calls recorded?

Calls are transcribed so the message can be passed to you, and every caller is told that in the first sentence, before they say anything. California requires all parties to know.

What if it does not work for me?

Cancel any time, no contract and no cancellation fee. You keep your number, because it was always yours.
