# Book the next job while you’re on this one.

Audience: SMB

An after-hours caller can get a real appointment instead of waiting for a callback. Our forward-deployed engineers build and run the workflow around your hours, service area, and calendar.

## Start with the calls your team misses

### Answer the questions you hear every day

We teach the agent your services, hours, and coverage area. It answers routine inquiries and sends pricing exceptions or unfamiliar requests to the person you choose.

### Put the booking in your calendar

The agent checks a connected calendar, offers an open time, and confirms the booking after the calendar accepts it. If a slot disappears, it offers another.

### Follow up on unfinished requests

We flag inquiries that still need a person. For outbound callbacks, we configure Call Defense checks and opt-out handling, then review the calls with you.

## We run it. You choose how to pay.

We handle setup, testing, launch, and ongoing improvements. Your proposal can bill for usage or an agreed result, such as a confirmed booking or a customer-service conversation the agent handles.

## After-hours calls that become appointments

Compare confirmed bookings from after-hours inquiries before and after launch. Track callbacks still owed so your team knows who needs attention.

## Small business booking questions

### What does my business need to provide for an AI receptionist?

Give the team your business hours, service area, approved answers, calendar access, and a person to take exceptions. Assistable’s engineers configure and test the agent. Your team reviews sample calls and checks the resulting appointments before sending after-hours traffic to it.

### What happens if an after-hours caller asks for a slot that is already taken?

The agent checks the connected calendar and offers an available time. If another customer takes the slot before the booking completes, the agent can offer another time or leave a callback request. A booking counts once the appointment exists in your calendar.

### Can a small business pay per booked appointment?

A managed proposal can price the service by usage or by an agreed result. For appointment pricing, identify the calendar that proves a booking and agree how duplicates, cancellations, and reschedules affect billing before launch.
