Built for small businesses, not call centers.

RunDesk AI exists because hiring a receptionist costs $3,000+/month, voicemail loses 62% of callers, and most AI answering services were built to sound like call centers, not like someone who works at your business.

The problem

If you run a service business — plumbing, HVAC, cleaning, law, insurance — your phone is the front door of the company. Every missed call is a potential customer going to a competitor.

But you can't pick up every call. You're on a job. You're driving. You're off the clock. And the "solutions" are bad:

• Voicemail — 62% of callers hang up instead of leaving a message.
• Hiring a receptionist — $3,000+/month for someone who only works 40 hours a week.
• Generic answering services — $200–500/month for someone who doesn't know your business and reads from a script.
• Other AI tools — most answer the call but leave everything else (follow-ups, bookings, invoices) for you to handle.

What we're building

RunDesk AI is an AI employee — not just a receptionist. It answers your phone 24/7, but it also does what happens after the call: books the appointment on your calendar, sends the customer a confirmation text, logs the job to your spreadsheet, and invoices them after the work is done.

It learns from your website during signup. No scripts to write. No forms to fill. In under 60 seconds, you have an AI that knows your services, your prices, your hours, and your voice — ready to answer the next call.

Who's behind this

What we believe

Where we're headed

The goal isn't to be a better answering service. It's to give a one-person shop the same back-office leverage as a company with 10 employees — a receptionist, a scheduler, a bookkeeper, and an assistant, all running 24/7 for the cost of one subscription.

We're early. If you're using RunDesk AI and something feels off — or you have an idea for what should exist — email me directly. I read every message.
