Key facts decision-makers quote

  • Traditional answering services cost $200-$500/month for basic message-taking. ConvoCore costs $99/month and actually handles calls — booking appointments and qualifying leads that would otherwise wait until morning.
  • Website visitors expect fast answers; delayed replies lose qualified demand.
  • Ground AI answers in your live pages and docs, then escalate when confidence is low.
  • Measure lead quality and containment, not raw chat volume.

The problem businesses face

  • 40% of calls coming after hours and going to voicemail
  • Traditional answering services providing robotic, scripted responses
  • Per-call billing making answering services expensive at volume
  • No ability to book appointments or answer questions after hours
