Question 1

What is DevHouse AI?

Accepted Answer

DevHouse AI answers your business phone calls, responds to text messages and web inquiries, and books appointments automatically — 24 hours a day. We handle incoming leads so you never miss a call or follow-up again.

Question 2

How does it work?

Accepted Answer

We connect to your phone number, business messaging accounts, and online forms. When a customer calls or reaches out, our team answers, captures the information, and books the appointment directly into your calendar. You receive a summary at the end of each day.

Question 3

How long does it take to set up?

Accepted Answer

We start answering your calls within 7 days. After your 15-minute discovery call, we spend 3-5 days configuring our system to your business, then activate within 48 hours. No technical knowledge required on your end.

Question 4

What if I miss calls during business hours?

Accepted Answer

Many businesses get calls during lunch, restroom breaks, or when staff are with other clients. Our system can answer immediately during your business hours too, ensuring no lead ever gets a voicemail. You decide which hours we cover.

Question 5

What communication channels do you cover?

Accepted Answer

Phone calls, SMS text messages, WhatsApp, web forms, email, Instagram DMs, Facebook Messenger, and LinkedIn messages. One service covers every place your customers might reach out.

Question 6

How is this different from hiring a receptionist?

Accepted Answer

A receptionist costs $45,000-$60,000+ annually plus benefits, training, and management time. They work 9-5, take breaks, call in sick, and need vacation coverage. We work 24/7, never miss a call, answer within 60 seconds, and cost a fraction of annual salary.

Question 7

How many leads are businesses actually losing?

Accepted Answer

Studies show 40% of small business calls come after business hours. Many daytime calls also go unanswered due to staff availability. We typically find businesses are losing 15-30% of potential revenue from unanswered calls and slow follow-up alone.

Question 8

Will appointments actually get booked accurately?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our system captures all essential details — name, phone, email, preferred time, service needed — and enters them directly into your calendar. You can set rules for what gets booked automatically, and we handle exceptions manually.

Question 9

Will customers know they're talking to AI?

Accepted Answer

Our approach is conversational and professional. Customers experience a smooth, helpful interaction. They get their questions answered and appointments booked without being transferred around or left on hold.

Question 10

Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes. No long-term contracts. You can cancel with 30 days notice. We also have a 7-day trial period where you can review how we're handling your leads before committing to ongoing service.

Question 11

Do the pricing tiers include everything?

Accepted Answer

All tiers include 24/7 call answering, lead qualification, appointment booking, and daily summaries. Higher tiers add additional features like SMS follow-up automation, multi-location support, and dedicated account management.

Question 12

Does this integrate with my calendar or CRM?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We integrate with Google Calendar, Outlook, Calendly, most CRMs, and over 100 business tools. If your system isn't on our list, we can usually build a custom integration.

Question 13

What if I'm concerned about slow response times?

Accepted Answer

We answer calls within 60 seconds. Text and email inquiries get responses within 2 hours during business hours, 8 hours after hours. Most businesses see 5-10x faster response times compared to their previous setup.

Question 14

How does follow-up automation work?

Accepted Answer

After a lead is captured, our system can automatically send follow-up texts or emails on a schedule you set (e.g., 2 hours later, next day, 3 days later). This keeps leads warm and increases booking rates without you lifting a finger.

Question 15

Does this work if my business grows?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our system scales with you. Whether you get 10 calls a day or 100, we handle them all consistently. You can upgrade your tier anytime to add features or increased capacity.
