What it uses
The parts of Papalocal this is about.
AI Call Assistant
Keep your own cell number, forward the calls you don't pick up, and an AI answers in your business's voice. You tell it about the business in a handful of plain questions, and every answered call comes back to you as a logged call with a summary.
Call System
Buy local phone numbers for your business and choose what happens when one rings: ring a real phone, hand the call to your AI assistant, or play a message. Numbers can take texts too.
Call Tracking
Every call to your business is logged — who called, when, how long, whether it was answered or missed, and which ad or sign it came from. You can turn on recording and a written transcript per number.
Voice menus
Build what a caller hears before anyone picks up — "for a quote press 1, for an existing job press 2" — and choose where each key sends them: the people who answer, another menu, voicemail, a different number, or a polite goodbye. Callers can say it instead of pressing. You decide what happens when someone presses a wrong key, and every menu puts a label on the call so you find out what people are actually ringing about.
Texts
See every text between your business and a customer as one conversation, newest first, with the person's name from your contacts instead of a bare number. Messages that came through your tracking service and messages Papalocal carried appear in the same thread, because the same person is the same person.
Customer Line
One conversation between a business and each of its customers that never closes. Messages, photos and video go both ways, and the records of the work the business sends land in that same thread.
