AI receptionist

Every new customer answered and booked.

Kaj Front Desk is an AI answering service for contractors and trades, starting in Toronto and the GTA, by SensaAI — and we work with businesses anywhere. After-hours and missed calls answered, visits booked.

An example. Names, jobs and figures are made up.

Kaj Front Desk is an AI answering service for contractors and trades, starting in Toronto and the GTA — and we work with businesses anywhere. Toronto is the starting focus, because it makes in-person visits with pilot partners easier. It answers the missed and after-hours calls, texts and DMs you cannot pick up, in your name, finds out what the job is, books the visit, and texts you a lead brief. Founding pricing is C$750 a month for the first 5 shops, locked for 12 months (regular C$1,500), plus tax. You're live in 7 days, the first 14 days are free, then 90 days minimum and month to month after. No setup fee on any plan. A booked-visit guarantee covers your first 90 days, set for your trade: 10 visits for HVAC and plumbing, 8 for electrical, duct cleaning, repair and snow, 4 site visits for roofing and 3 for renovation.

What is Kaj Front Desk?

Kaj Front Desk is SensaAI's answering and booking plan for trades businesses, starting in Toronto and the GTA — and we work with businesses anywhere. Toronto is the starting focus, because it makes in-person visits with pilot partners easier. Every new customer answered and booked.

It is the plan for the work before the job: the missed call, the after-hours enquiry, the visit on the calendar. It is more than an answering service. It asks the right questions, books the visit, sends the reminder and knows your returning customers. Your customers stay yours.

It is not Kaj Assistant, which is your office work, done by text. If you also need the office run — estimates drafted from your prices, invoices, the schedule on jobs already going — that is Kaj Assistant, or both together as Front Desk + Assistant. If you need more customers in the first place, that is Kaj Growth. See the difference below.

The product page is kaj.sensaai.ca/front-desk. Trade-specific pages sit under this one and keep the trade-plus-city searches:

What does it do, and on which channels?

Calls, texts, WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger — plus web form and email — answered in your name day or night.

Marked urgent: you were called at once

Examples. Click a card or use the arrows.

On those channels it:

  • Asks what you would ask: your questions, your areas, your services. Anything that needs you is flagged.
  • Books visits into your calendar.
  • Sends visit reminders.
  • Texts you a lead brief for every new customer.
  • Rings urgent calls through to your mobile, day or night.
  • Texts back every missed call and replies to your Google reviews, like every Kaj.

Add Quote Chaser, Rebooker, Lead Caller for C$250 a month each, plus tax: every open quote followed up, past customers brought back when it's time again, and new web, HomeStars and ad leads called back within a minute.

Kaj Front Desk covers every channel with fair use up to about 1,000 conversations a month, which shops under 10 trucks don't reach. If you go well past it, we keep answering and talk it through with you; nothing gets cut off. We never bill by the minute or by the call.

Do I need a new app? No. Leads, bookings and updates come to you by text, and you text Kaj to change anything. The owner app is there when you want the full picture.

How does booking work?

Visits can be booked into your calendar. It only offers times you're free, and by default you confirm each visit with one reply. The visit lands in your calendar with the details and photos.

If you want those visits in the calendar you already use, we connect Kaj to the tools you already use as part of setup. Connecting a calendar is optional, and it is custom-built for your shop as needed — Kaj has no live or native calendar or field-service integration.

You approve bookings, or let it book straight into your calendar. Your choice.

If your shop already runs a tool such as Jobber, ServiceTitan or Housecall Pro, say so during setup. Larger setups — several trucks, numbers or locations, or shops already on a field-service tool — are scoped with you and quoted before any work starts. That is a custom setup, not a ready-made integration inside those products.

What happens on after-hours and emergency calls?

Calls are answered in your name day or night, including after hours in the GTA. This is the missed-call and after-hours answering plan, not an office-hours message service.

An urgent call rings your mobile with the job read out, or up to six people in the order you choose. Gas smells, carbon monoxide alarms, sparks, flooding or someone hurt get one fixed safety line, and you're called at once.

Will it give safety, code or repair advice? No, in any trade. It takes the details and says you'll confirm.

Trade-specific versions — a no-heat call at night, a flood, sparks — are on the trade pages and in questions from trades owners.

Do I stay in charge?

Yes. You stay in charge. You set every price. It only shares the price guide you give it, and says it's a guide. The real quote is always yours. You approve bookings.

An AI receptionist that answers in your business's name. It never claims to be a person, says what it is if asked, and anything unusual goes to you. You choose whether it says so up front.

Can I step in or switch it off? Any time. One text takes over a conversation or pauses every automatic message, and you can hand it back when you're done.

A person on our team still reads every conversation, every day.

Do I keep my number?

Yes. Keep your number. Forward the calls you can't take. Only missed calls and new enquiries come to us.

Who owns my customers? You do. Enquiries from your own number or website are only ever yours and are never offered to another company.

Who is Kaj Front Desk a good fit for — and who should skip it?

We talk plainly, and we will tell you honestly whether we can help.

A good fit if:

  • You are a trades or home-services shop — HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, renovation, duct cleaning, snow and property, or other home repair and service. We start in Toronto and the GTA, and we work with businesses anywhere.
  • Customers call or message you to book a visit.
  • You miss new-customer calls while you are on the tools, after hours, or on the road, and you do not want those callers going to voicemail.
  • You want more than a name and number: the right questions asked, the visit booked, the quote followed up.
  • You want to set prices, approve bookings, and keep your number.
  • For Kaj Front Desk and the booked-visit guarantee, you get 5 or more new-customer calls a week, counted from your call log or your 14 free days.

Not a good fit (or not this plan) if:

  • You get fewer than five new-customer calls a week. Shops with fewer than 5 new-customer calls a week, counted from your call log or your 14 free days, can join without the guarantee, or may be a better fit for Kaj Assistant or Kaj Growth. You can still join Front Desk without the guarantee; quieter shops may prefer Assistant.
  • You mainly need office work — quotes from site notes, chasing, scheduling on jobs already going. That is Kaj Assistant, not Front Desk. If you need both, that is Front Desk + Assistant. Front Desk + Assistant includes both the booked-visit guarantee and the two-worst-jobs guarantee.
  • You want it to give repair, permit, code or safety advice, or to set prices for you. It will not. You set every price.
  • You want callers to believe they are talking to a person. It never claims to be a person.
  • You run a clinic, or an agency that calls lists of businesses. That is Ador or Dak, not Kaj. See sensaai.ca.
  • Your phone is quiet and you need more customers in the first place. That is Kaj Growth, our lowest price.
  • You already pick up every new-customer call. Say so on the shop audit. We will tell you honestly whether we can help.

What does Kaj Front Desk cost, and what is guaranteed?

Kaj Front Desk answers and books your calls and messages: C$750 a month for the first 5 shops, locked for 12 months (regular C$1,500), plus tax. You're live in 7 days, the first 14 days are free, then 90 days minimum and month to month after.

First 5 shops · next 5 C$1,000 · regular C$1,500, plus tax.

A booked-visit guarantee for your first 90 days, set for your trade: 10 visits for HVAC and plumbing, 8 for electrical, duct cleaning, repair and snow, 4 site visits for roofing and 3 for renovation. If we're short, the months after are free until we get there.

A booked visit is a visit with a new customer that we booked from a call or message you didn't answer, counted from your go-live day. If we're short at day 90, the months after are free until we get there, for up to 90 more days, or you can leave with no minimum. Shops with fewer than 5 new-customer calls a week, counted from your call log or your 14 free days, can join without the guarantee, or may be a better fit for Kaj Assistant or Kaj Growth.

Every Kaj starts with 2 weeks free. Front Desk then runs 90 days minimum; Assistant takes a card on file and is month to month; Growth has a 3-month minimum. Founding prices stay locked for 12 months. No setup fee on any plan. Several locations are quoted. We never bill by the minute or by the call. Kaj Front Desk covers every channel with fair use up to about 1,000 conversations a month.

Add-ons: Add Quote Chaser, Rebooker, Lead Caller for C$250 a month each, plus tax: every open quote followed up, past customers brought back when it's time again, and new web, HomeStars and ad leads called back within a minute. Bookings from past customers don't count toward the guarantee, which is about new customers.

The two-worst-jobs guarantee is for Kaj Assistant, not for Front Desk.

The math

Say you get 10 new-customer calls a week and miss 1 in 4. Over a month that's about 11 callers, over C$5,000 of work at a C$500 average job. Front Desk is C$750 plus tax: book 2 of them and it has paid for itself.

Estimates only, not a promise of results.

Can I try it before it talks to my customers?

Yes. Try the demo first. Then you get two weeks free in shadow mode: calls are answered live from a script you've approved, and every text, DM and follow-up is checked by our team before it goes out. We read every call the same day.

Set up in 7 days. One call for your number, hours, services, postal codes, minimum job size and calendar. We do the setup; you check it. Once it goes live: it replies on its own. A person on our team still reads every conversation, every day.

If you want a picture of the problem first, start with the free shop audit — that is the first step of every Kaj.

How is Kaj Front Desk different from Kaj Assistant?

They are two of the three places Kaj can start: before the job, and after the call. Start with the one that costs you most.

Kaj Front Desk is every new customer answered and booked. It answers calls, texts, WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger in your name, books visits, and texts you a lead brief. It has a booked-visit guarantee for the first 90 days and a 90-day minimum after 14 days free. That is the AI answering-service plan.

Kaj Assistant is your office work, done by text. You text it like an office manager. It drafts estimates from your prices for you to approve, sends invoices and payment reminders, keeps the schedule, and updates clients and subs. Its guarantee is: Your two worst office jobs running within 14 days of giving us access, or your first paid month is free. It is month to month after 14 days free, with a card on file. It does not replace Front Desk, and it does not answer your missed calls as its job.

If you need the phone answered and the office run, that is Front Desk + Assistant, not a stretch of either plan. Front Desk + Assistant includes both the booked-visit guarantee and the two-worst-jobs guarantee.

What is Front Desk + Assistant?

Front Desk + Assistant is both for 20% less: C$1,200 a month for the first shops (regular C$2,400), plus tax.

First 5 shops · next 5 C$1,600 · regular C$2,400, plus tax. Both · 20% less.

Calls all day and several jobs on the go? Front Desk wins the work, Assistant runs the office. It includes everything in Kaj Front Desk, everything in Kaj Assistant, and one record of every customer and job, from first call to final invoice. It includes both guarantees: the booked-visit guarantee for your trade (because Front Desk is part of it), and the Assistant two-worst-jobs guarantee — Your two worst office jobs running within 14 days of giving us access, or your first paid month is free.

No setup fee. Several locations are quoted. It runs 90 days minimum after the 14 free days.

Straight answers.

What owners ask about Kaj Front Desk.

Yes. Kaj Front Desk is an AI answering service for contractors and trades, starting in Toronto and the GTA, by SensaAI — and we work with businesses anywhere. Every new customer answered and booked. It answers every call, text and DM in your name, after hours too, books the visit, and texts you a lead brief. It is not Kaj Assistant, which runs office work by text.

Calls, texts, WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger, plus web form and email, answered in your name day or night. Answered 24/7 in your name. Add Lead Caller and web form and ad leads are called back within a minute. This is also the after-hours and missed-call answering plan for GTA trades.

Keep your number. Forward the calls you can't take. Only missed calls and new enquiries come to us. Do I need a new app? No. Leads, bookings and follow-up updates come to you by text. The owner app is there when you want the full picture. Who owns my customers? You do.

Kaj Front Desk answers and books your calls and messages: C$750 a month for the first 5 shops, locked for 12 months (regular C$1,500), plus tax. You're live in 7 days, the first 14 days are free, then 90 days minimum and month to month after. Next 5 shops: C$1,000 plus tax. Regular price: C$1,500 plus tax. No setup fee on any plan. We never bill by the minute or by the call.

A booked-visit guarantee for your first 90 days, set for your trade: 10 visits for HVAC and plumbing, 8 for electrical, duct cleaning, repair and snow, 4 site visits for roofing and 3 for renovation. A booked visit is a visit with a new customer that we booked from a call or message you didn't answer, counted from your go-live day. If we're short at day 90, the months after are free until we get there, for up to 90 more days, or you can leave with no minimum. Shops with fewer than 5 new-customer calls a week, counted from your call log or your 14 free days, can join without the guarantee, or may be a better fit for Kaj Assistant or Kaj Growth.

Yes. Try the demo first. Then you get two weeks free in shadow mode: calls are answered live from a script you've approved, and every text, DM and follow-up is checked by our team before it goes out. We read every call the same day. Set up in 7 days. Or start with the free shop audit.

No. Front Desk answers and books new-customer calls and messages. Assistant runs the office work after the call. If you need both, Front Desk + Assistant is both for 20% less: C$1,200 a month for the first shops (regular C$2,400), plus tax. Front Desk + Assistant includes both the booked-visit guarantee and the two-worst-jobs guarantee.

If you get fewer than five new-customer calls a week, you can join without the guarantee, or Kaj Growth or Kaj Assistant may be a better fit. If you need more customers in the first place, start with Growth. If your main problem is office work, not missed calls, start with Assistant. If you want it to set prices or give repair advice, it will not. If you have a clinic or you call lists of businesses, that is a different SensaAI product.
