What Jodie does for small businesses
Jodie is an AI answering service for UK small businesses. She answers your calls in your business name 24/7, finds out who is calling, what they need and how urgent it is, and sends you a summary by email and in the Jodie app. Callers get a real answer in the evening or on a bank holiday, not your voicemail.

The problem
You are the business. You cannot be in two places at once.
When you are serving a customer face-to-face, your phone rings and goes to voicemail. When you are making a delivery, you miss three calls. When you are doing the books that evening, you are too tired to call people back. The caller who needed you has already moved on to whoever answered first.

How Small Businesses Use Jodie
New Customer Calling While You Are Busy
The situation: You are serving a customer face-to-face when the phone rings. A new customer found you on Google and is ready to buy, but you cannot stop what you are doing to pick up.
Jodie handles it: Jodie answers, finds out what they need, takes their name and number, and tells them you will call back shortly. You get a text with the details so you can follow up the moment you are free.
Hands Full Mid-Task
The situation: You are carrying stock, making a delivery, or in the middle of a job with your hands literally full. Your phone buzzes in your pocket but there is no way to answer it.
Jodie handles it: Jodie picks up, has a proper conversation with the caller, asks the right questions about what they need, and sends you a summary. The lead is waiting for you when you put the boxes down.
Quote or Pricing Enquiry
The situation: Someone finds your website on Google, likes what they see, and calls to ask about pricing. You are out of the office and miss the call.
Jodie handles it: Jodie answers, asks what service they are after, gets the details you need to put together an accurate quote, and sends you everything by text and email. You can respond with a price before they call a competitor.
After-Hours Enquiry
The situation: Someone is browsing online at 8pm, finds your business, and calls your number. Your phone is off for the evening.
Jodie handles it: Jodie answers as if it were business hours, takes their details, finds out what they need, and lets them know you will be in touch. The message is waiting for you first thing in the morning.
