An AI receptionist and marketing drafts, both coming soon
HoundStack uses AI only where the job is words: answering a client's text, and drafting a post about your business. Both are coming soon. Everything that is arithmetic, like churn risk or pricing, is a rule you can read rather than a model guessing.
A receptionist for the texts that come in during a route
A text that sits unanswered until dinner is a lead that went somewhere else. The receptionist will answer it in seconds with the price your zone pricing gives, answer questions from your own FAQ, and pass the lead to the office. Texting is coming soon, pending carrier registration.
- Your prices, never a guess. Quotes come from your zone pricing, so the number it gives is the number you charge.
- A person makes the promises. It records the lead and hands off. Visit times, discounts and refunds stay with the office.
Hi, how much for weekly cleanup? 2 dogs, backyard only, 98107
Hi! For 2 dogs on a weekly visit in 98107 it is $22 per visit. Would you like us to get you started?
yes please, Thursdays would be great
Great, I have passed that on. Someone from the office will text you today to confirm your first visit.
A first draft when you need to post something
Give it a topic and a tone, and it will write a Facebook post, an Instagram caption, an email to your clients, a Google Business update or a flyer headline. You edit it and you send it. Nothing goes out on its own.
Where HoundStack uses AI
AI receptionistComing soon
Answers texts to your business number with your real prices and your own FAQ, writes down the lead for the office, and hands anything it cannot answer to a person. It never invents a price, a discount or a visit time. Texting is pending carrier registration, and call answering comes after.
Marketing postsComing soon
Drafts of a Facebook post, an Instagram caption, an email to your clients, a Google Business update or a flyer headline, written from a topic you give it and the tone you pick, ready to edit before anything goes out.
Churn risk, suggested zone pricing and the weekly digest are live on every plan and are not AI. They are worked out by written rules from your own numbers. See them on the reporting page.
Fair questions about the AI
Can I use the AI features today?
Not yet. Both are coming soon, and they are switched off in the app until they launch. Nothing is charged for AI while that is the case.
What about churn risk, zone pricing and the weekly digest?
Those are live on every plan, and they are not AI. Each one is a written rule worked out from your own numbers, so the same data always gives the same answer and you can see why. They are covered on the reporting page.
Will the receptionist book visits on its own?
No. It quotes your real price, answers from the FAQ you write, and records the lead so the office can follow up and put the visit on the schedule. It is told never to promise a time, a discount or a refund.
Which model does it use, and whose number does it text from?
Claude, from Anthropic, through Twilio. Texts come from your business number, never from a HoundStack number, and the receptionist says it is an automated assistant.
Plans start at $79 a month
Plans include 1 person on Launch, 5 on Growth, or 20 on Scale, and each extra person is $15 a month within the plan's team-size range. See every tier side by side.
Coming from somewhere else?Switching from Sweep&Go
A named importer with a field mapping preview and a dry run, so nothing is written to your account until you have approved it.
