Real calls, handled.
Traditional answering services charge per call, put callers on hold, and still miss the ones that come in at 2 AM. Polu is different: unlimited parallel calls, no hold queue, no per-minute billing. The AI knows your business, your hours, and what your customers actually ask — and handles each call with the right response.
Urgent call at 9 PM
Polu recognizes the emergency, gives any immediate safety guidance the caller needs, and alerts you by call and text within 15 seconds. You decide whether to call them back now or send a tech out.
Routine appointment request
Polu checks your Google Calendar, offers two time slots, books the one the customer picks, and texts them a confirmation with your business address.
Non-urgent quote request
Weekend call about pricing or availability. Polu takes the full details, texts the summary to you, and queues the lead in your dashboard for Monday-morning follow-up.

Questions
An AI receptionist is software that answers your business phone calls using artificial intelligence — understanding what the caller wants, asking the right follow-up questions, and taking action (booking an appointment, taking a message, routing to the right person). Unlike pre-recorded phone trees or basic voicemail, an AI receptionist has a natural conversation with the caller and gets the information you need to serve them.
Three main differences. (1) Flat pricing — $49/month regardless of call volume, vs. $1-3 per call for human services. (2) Instant response — Polu answers on the second ring, 24/7, with no hold queue. A human service can hold a caller for minutes during peak hours. (3) Smarter triage — Polu books on your calendar directly, flags emergencies with context, and doesn't need to transcribe hand-written notes.
Yes — Polu identifies itself as 'the automated assistant for [business name]' at the start of each call, per the recording disclosure legally required in two-party-consent states (CA, FL, IL, MD, MA, MI, MT, NV, NH, PA, WA) and best practice everywhere else. Transparency builds trust; a caller who thinks they're talking to a human and realizes they aren't gets angry fast.
On the Pro plan, yes — Polu checks your Google Calendar in real time, offers two available slots, and books whichever the customer picks. On Starter, Polu takes the appointment request and texts you to confirm. Direct integrations with Jobber, ServiceTitan, and other field-service systems are on the 2027 roadmap.
