The problem
Your business doesn't close at 5pm.
Your phone line does.
Your customers don't call during business hours. They call when they think of you — on a lunch break, after work, on a Sunday, at 3am when something breaks. When nobody picks up, they call the next name on the list.
128 hours
a week with nobody on the phone
There are 168 hours in a week. A nine-to-five covers 40 of them. The rest is voicemail.
168 hours minus a 40-hour week.
~$53,000
a year for one receptionist
And that buys you the 40 hours you already cover — not one minute of the other 128.
Median pay $37,230 (BLS, 2024), plus benefits and payroll taxes.
One at a time
is all a person can answer
Caller two hears a busy signal. On your busiest day, the day you most need the work.
Self-evident, but worth saying out loud.
Every one of those calls was already yours. You just weren't there to take it.
Receptionist cost: US median pay of $37,230 (Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook, May 2024), grossed up for benefits and payroll taxes using the BLS finding that wages are 69.9% of total employer compensation cost in private industry (Employer Costs for Employee Compensation, March 2026). Everything else here is arithmetic.
What it does
Meet your new employee.
One agent, built around how your business actually runs, handling the part of the job that never fits inside office hours.
Answers every single call
Picks up on the first ring, sounds natural, handles real back-and-forth conversation. Never rushed, never rude, never on another line. Transfers to your team when it should.
Books appointments automatically
Checks live availability, offers real open slots, writes the booking into your system, and texts a confirmation before the caller hangs up.
Qualifies leads before you call back
Asks about scope, timeline and budget, captures the details, and flags the hot ones. Your team spends its day on people who are ready to buy.
Remembers everything that was said
Full recordings and searchable transcripts for every call. You always know exactly what was promised, by whom, and when.
Works 24 / 7 / 365
Evenings, weekends, holidays, 3am emergencies. Your business stays open while you sleep, and there is no such thing as a busy signal.
Live in 48 hours
We handle the integration and configure the agent around how you actually work. No IT project, no six-week onboarding, no technical knowledge required.
Do the math
What are those missed calls actually costing you?
Most owners have never put a number on it. Move the sliders — this runs entirely in your browser and nothing is sent to us.
Your numbers
Adjust these to match your business. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Everything that rings your main line.
Busy, after hours, weekends, voicemail.
Or the lifetime value of one new client.
Be conservative — not every caller buys.

Why us
Built for businesses your size.
Enterprise platforms are built for enterprise budgets and enterprise timelines. You have a business to run and a phone that keeps ringing.
Days, not months
Typical setup takes 48 hours, not a six-week implementation cycle with a project manager.
No IT department required
We do the integration and the configuration. You approve how it sounds and go back to work.
Priced for a real P&L
From $549/month — not the $2,000+ enterprise suites quote before add-ons.
A person picks up
When something needs attention you reach us directly, not a ticket queue with an SLA measured in business days.
Configured around your workflow
We build the agent around how your front desk already runs, instead of making you change to fit the software.
Measured on revenue, not features
Reporting shows calls captured, appointments booked and what they're worth — the only numbers that matter.
The agents
One platform. Three kinds of agent.
Different businesses need different things taken off their plate. We build the one that matches yours — or combine them.
The Receptionist
Appointment-based businesses
Answers, books, reminds and routes — so an empty front desk never costs you a patient or a client.
- Answers calls and books directly into your calendar
- Asks the intake questions your front desk asks
- Sends SMS confirmations and reminders to cut no-shows
- Routes genuine emergencies to your on-call team
- Covers evenings, weekends and holidays
Built for

- Answers inbound sales calls intelligently
- Captures job scope, timeline and budget
- Scores and tags leads by priority

- Pushes hot leads to your team immediately

The Customer Service Rep
Businesses handling support volume

- Handles common customer questions 24/7
- Looks up order and account status in your system
- Starts returns, refunds and change requests
- Escalates anything complex to a human with full context
- Keeps support responsive outside business hours

Ongoing
Tune and expand
Weekly reporting shows calls captured, appointments booked and revenue influenced. We refine as you find new things to hand off.
Founding customers
We're taking on a small first group.
MrClockwork is early, and we're being deliberate about it. We're onboarding a limited number of founding customers so every agent gets built and tuned personally rather than handed to a setup wizard.
Direct line to the founder
Your account is set up, monitored and tuned by the person who built the product.
Locked founding rate
Your pricing stays where it starts for as long as you're a customer, whatever we charge later.
7-day refund
If the agent isn't earning its place in the first week, we refund the setup fee. No questions asked.
Your roadmap input
Founding customers tell us what to build next, and we build it.
Pricing
Simple, transparent pricing.
Published up front, because you should know what something costs before you get on a call about it.

Questions
The things people ask before they sign up.
How does the agent know what to say?
We configure it during setup. You tell us how your front desk handles calls — what you ask, what you book, what gets escalated — and we script the agent around that. You listen to it and tell us what to change before it takes a single real call.
Will callers know they're talking to AI?
Most don't notice, and we don't think you should hide it — the agent identifies itself as a virtual assistant if asked. What callers care about is that someone picked up, understood them, and got their appointment booked instead of sending them to voicemail. If a call needs a person, the agent transfers it to your team.
Does it work with my calendar or practice management system?
We integrate with most common systems including Google Calendar, Outlook, Dentrix, Salesforce, HubSpot, Square and Acuity. If you're on something less common, tell us during the consultation and we'll confirm whether we can connect to it before you pay anything.
What happens if something goes wrong?
Calls are the part of your business that can't be down, so we monitor closely through your first week and stay reachable after that. Professional plans get a 24-hour response commitment, and multi-location accounts get a dedicated manager.
Is there a free trial?
No — every deployment involves real setup work on our side, so we don't offer a free trial. Instead there's a 7-day refund: if the agent isn't working for you in the first week, we refund the setup fee, no questions asked. Monthly plans are cancellable with 7 days' notice.
Which industries do you work with?
We focus on appointment-based businesses (dental, medical, legal, salons, therapy, veterinary) and home service businesses (HVAC, plumbing, roofing, contractors). If you're outside that, get in touch anyway — we'll tell you honestly whether we're a good fit yet.
Ready to stop missing calls?
Fifteen minutes on a call and you'll know exactly how many calls you're losing, what they're worth, and whether this pays for itself. If it doesn't, we'll tell you.
No obligation. No sales pressure. Just the numbers.
