AI phone assistants for small businesses · from $99 a month
The call came in at 6:40 on a Tuesday. You were with a customer.
The business that answered it got the job.
Owners who built something from scratch tend to do everything themselves for too long. The calls, the follow-ups, the same answers to the same five questions, the evening spent copying orders from one screen into another.
And somewhere in the back of your mind is the feeling that other businesses have figured something out that you haven’t had an afternoon free to look at.

Why we do this
We’ve been the owner doing everything
For ten years we ran our own e-commerce business, in a category so heavily regulated that no ad platform would take our money. We built the software ourselves, fought the payment processors, handled the compliance and did our own books.
I started my first business on a shoestring, so software was one of the places I saved. Competitors who’d been around longer were paying for tools I couldn’t afford, and they looked more professional for it. So I built my own, and that turned out to be the advantage: it fit the way we actually worked in ways their off-the-shelf software couldn’t, and our customers noticed.
Whenever I can, I hire the small, dedicated business, the one run by someone who still cares about every customer. Most of them are where I was: they need tools that match the competition, at a price they can actually afford. That’s who we build for.
We still run on what we build. When you call our office, the phone is answered by Alan, an AI assistant we built.
How we work with you
You don’t need to understand AI. You need to understand your business, and you already do.
That’s the hard part. Every business runs a little differently, so we start with how yours works and build around it. You can see where things stand at every step.

Tell us what’s eating your week
Sign up online, call Alan, the AI assistant on our own phone line, or write to us. Describe it however it comes out.
-
We ask how your business actually runs
You know your business; we know the tools. One of us goes through what you told us and works out what would really help.
-
You see the price before anything starts
And if it isn’t something we can help with, we’ll say so.
-
You try it before it goes live
You call it, test it, and tell us what it got wrong. It goes live when you’re happy with it.
-
We keep making it better
We watch how it does with your customers, fix what it gets wrong, and keep improving it as your business changes.

Hear one for yourself
Alan answers Solanova’s own phone. Calling him is the quickest way to hear what one of these sounds like on a real business line.
What it’s like
It’s Saturday. Your phone buzzes once.
Not a missed call. A summary of one: who called, what they need, and when they’d like to hear back. You read it in ten seconds and get on with your weekend.
It’s the same technology everyone else is already using. The difference is that now it’s working for you, set up around the way you already run things.
Signing up starts with a short form about your business. Or call Alan: he’ll ask what you’re dealing with, and one of us will get back to you.
No long contracts. You keep your number. You see the price first. Nothing goes live until you’ve heard it.
