The part you don't believe yet
You're picturing a robot. That's the whole objection.
Nobody's real worry about an assistant answering their phone is philosophical. It's that it'll sound like every automated system you've ever been trapped in — the flat voice, the menu, the "I didn't get that", the customer hanging up because they can tell. You've been trained by fifteen years of bad phone robots to expect exactly that.
It isn't that anymore, and no amount of adjectives on a website will convince you — which is why there's a button below instead. She talks at the speed a person talks. She can be interrupted, and she stops. She says "mm-hm" while you're finishing your sentence. And you choose how she sounds: her voice, her accent, and whether she answers your line in English, in French, or in whichever one the caller happens to use.
She'll tell you she's an assistant.
You still won't quite
believe her.
Try her. Right now.
Pick the kind of business and the accent she answers in, then either talk to her in this browser or have her ring your phone. She'll answer as that business — so try to book an appointment, order a pizza, or tell her your pipe just burst, and see how far you get before it stops feeling automated.
Talk to her now
Needs your microphone — nothing is recorded or kept, and you can hang up by closing the tab.
Have her call you
Leave your number and she rings you — the same way she'd answer for you. It's the only demo that really settles it.
We text a code first so we can only ever ring a phone whose owner asked us to. She also confirms it with you at the start of the call.
She says she's an assistant on every call — including this one.
Why she wins
Three things no voicemail ever did.
A real conversation
No menu, no beep. She talks, asks the one follow-up that makes the message worth having, and handles the simple stuff on the spot.
how she works →You read what matters
Every call becomes a short summary and a full transcript — urgency flagged, numbers captured, nothing to listen to twice.
what you get →She never pretends
First sentence of every call: she says she's an assistant. No human mode, no voice clone, no setting to hide it.
why that's the point →The app
This is what you get on the first day.
Real screens from the live app, not drawings. The service is the phone line; the app is where you read what she took and tell her how to behave.
Plans
Free to let her answer. Paid when she saves you the day.
Plans for individuals
No card to start. Your free month runs without one — we ask for payment details only when it ends, and never charge without you saying so. Cancel any time from the app, in two taps; it stops at the end of the period you have already paid for, with no fee and nothing to phone anyone about.

founding pricing is locked for life — for as long as your account stays active, on your plan. Tandem is priced separately when it lands, and never as a share of your savings.

The more concretely you describe the work, the more useful our first reply will be. We answer every one ourselves.
250 founding seats. — still open.
75 general seats at $6.99 a month, locked for life — for as long as your account stays active, on this plan — with the first month free and no card at signup. 175 student seats at $4.99 with three months free, on a verified school address. The two pools are separate: a student taking a seat never uses up a general one. . Refer a friend and you each earn 250 rays the day their line goes live — four referrals is a free month. If pricing ever changes, founders get twelve months' notice.
