Questions & answers

Everything else you're wondering.

How Ava works day to day, what she costs beyond the plan price, and how you stay in control.

01 / Getting started

Up and answering in days, not months.

How does Ava answer my calls?

She links to the number you already have through simple call forwarding — on every plan. She picks up the calls you can't: unanswered, busy, and after-hours. Your customers dial the same number as always, and nothing about calling you feels different. Behind the scenes we reserve a dedicated Ava line for your calls to forward to; you can give that number out directly too, if you ever prefer.

Do I keep my phone number?

Yes. Forwarding changes nothing for your callers, nothing is ported or replaced, and it can be switched off in seconds whenever you like.

What does Ava know about my business?

What you tell her during setup — your services, pricing, hours, and service area — plus the content of your own website, which we read into her knowledge base. You can review and update all of it from your dashboard at any time, and the details you type always outrank the website if the two ever disagree.

What is the 3-day human review?

It's part of the Professional plan. For your first three days on Professional, our team reviews Ava's calls daily and tunes her with you, so she sounds like your business — your services, your prices, your way of saying things — before she flies solo.

02 / How Ava handles your calls

What your callers will experience.

Can Ava book appointments?

On Plus and Professional, yes. Ava checks your real calendar — connect Cal.com or Google Calendar — offers open times on the call, and books the visit on the spot. A booked slot can't be double-booked. Booking stays off until you approve it, and you can turn it off again whenever you like.

What if a caller asks for me, or it's an emergency?

Ava handles the call first — that's her job. If a caller asks for you, or the situation is urgent, she connects you on the spot; if you don't pick up, she steps back in and captures the details. For emergencies like gas leaks, flooding, or sparking, she gives safety instructions first and alerts you immediately.

Does Ava speak Spanish?

Yes. Ava answers in English; the moment a caller speaks Spanish, she introduces Gaby, her Spanish-speaking colleague, who continues the call in Spanish — with everything the caller has already said, so nobody repeats themselves.

What if Ava doesn't know an answer?

She never makes one up. She tells the caller someone from your business will follow up, captures the question and a callback number, and it lands in the summary we email you after the call.

Are spam and robocalls billed?

Never. Junk calls are filtered out of your minutes entirely — you only pay for real conversations with real customers.

03 / Plans & billing

No surprises, by design.

How do minutes and overage work?

Every plan includes a monthly pool of minutes: 300 on Starter, 750 on Plus, 2,000 on Professional. Minutes past the pool are overage, charged at a simple rate — $0.39/min on Starter, $0.29 on Plus, $0.25 on Professional. Overage is prepaid: it draws from a credit balance you fund ahead of time in your dashboard, so a busy month can never turn into a surprise bill. Your dashboard shows usage and your balance as they move. Annual billing takes two months off the plan price; your minutes still work month to month.

What happens if my minutes and credit run out?

New calls to your Ava number get a busy signal until you add credit — that's it. Add credit from your dashboard and Ava picks up again right away; your included minutes refresh at the start of your next billing period. Credit never expires, and you can set it to refill automatically so you never think about it.

How does the free trial work?

Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial that includes 30 minutes of calls — enough to judge Ava on real work. Those minutes count toward your first month's allowance. A card is required up front; the subscription begins when the trial ends, and you can cancel before then and pay nothing. Every plan also carries a 30-day money-back guarantee on your first payment.

Can I change plans or cancel?

Anytime, from your dashboard and billing portal — no contracts and no cancellation calls. If you ever leave, turning off the forwarding on your number takes seconds.
