The job
An AI receptionist in the Jobber job management platform answers the company phone, fielding job inquiries and vendor pitches and passing on only the calls the owner needs to take. Inquiries from the website intake form flow straight into the same platform.
Tool: Jobber AI Receptionist
What happened
The AI receptionist costs $99 a month against roughly $4,000 a month in wages and payroll taxes for a person doing the same job.
It handles up to 15 calls an hour.
Before you believe it
The $4,000 is the owner estimate of what a person would cost, not money actually paid out before. Jobber sells the receptionist and its CTO is quoted in the article. No total headcount: the article gives 16 cleaners on staff plus two business partners.
