01 / THE PROBLEM
Voicemail
VOICEMAIL DOES NOT SAVE THE LEAD

Every missed call can cost you a real job.

When someone's locked out at midnight or has a burst pipe at 2 AM, they're not leaving a voicemail. They're calling the next company on Google.

03 / CAPABILITIES

Missed calls get answered.

Gideon is not voicemail. It asks the questions you approve, collects the caller's details, and sends your team a clear summary.

Answers When You Cannot

When your team is closed, busy, or on another call, Gideon picks up and gets the important details.

Captures Appointment Requests

Gets their name, number, address, and what they need. Sends your team the details needed to schedule or dispatch.

Prepares a Clear Summary

Name, callback number, reason for calling, and urgency are organized for the notification path approved during setup.

Follows Urgent-Call Rules

You define what counts as urgent. Gideon collects the critical details and follows the escalation or callback rule approved before launch.

Set Up For Your Business

Your services, hours, service area, and approved questions. Gideon is set up around how your business works.

Matches Your Coverage Plan

Configure after-hours, all-call, or overflow answering according to the plan and routing reviewed before launch.

04 / HOW IT WORKS

MULTILINGUAL BY DEFAULT

Gideon can help capture caller details across common languages.

If a caller switches languages, Gideon can still collect the job details and summarize them for your team. Language support depends on the call flow and configuration.

Callers can explain the job naturally instead of getting stuck at voicemail.

Your team still receives the name, phone number, job need, urgency, language, and next step.

Useful for service businesses that serve customers from different communities.

06 / SETUP TRUST

Reviewed before your calls go live.

The Call Taker does not ask you to guess at phone forwarding or launch blind. Your setup questions give us the basics to prepare the call flow and test-call steps before live routing starts.

SAFE LAUNCH CHECKPOINTS
Setup questionsWe use your answers to prepare the call flow before launch.
Test calls firstForwarding and answering are checked before live routing.
Private summariesCaller details stay in your business workflow, not public claims.
You approve flowRules, urgency, summaries, and handoffs are based on your setup packet.

Actual results depend on call volume, caller intent, follow-up speed, and the setup rules you approve.

07 / PRICING

Choose the call coverage you need.

Choose a plan and enter a card through secure Square checkout. The checkout remains pending until a signed Square event creates a human-owned onboarding review.

Current billing model: $0 due today for a 14-day card-backed trial. Unless canceled before renewal, the selected plan renews monthly at $97, $497, or the approved $997 base amount. Custom scope above $997 requires a separate exact quote.

Signed payment confirmation, then a human-owned onboarding review
1 / CHECKOUT

Pick the plan and continue to secure Square checkout.

2 / HUMAN REVIEW

Only a validated signed Square event creates the client record and one human-owned onboarding task. A person then confirms the setup questions and launch timing.

07 / FAQ

Questions we
hear every day.

The live Gideon demo is temporarily unavailable while verification is in progress. You can use the contact options in the footer.

How does call forwarding work?

Your customers keep calling your regular number. After your setup questions are submitted, we guide the forwarding and test-call steps for your phone setup.

What does Gideon actually sound like?

Gideon is designed to sound natural while asking the questions you approve. The live demo is temporarily unavailable while its verified path is completed.

Can it handle appointment requests?

It captures their name, number, what they need, and the requested timing. Direct calendar booking is available only when it is included in the plan you approve.

What if the caller needs a real person?

Gideon follows your approved escalation rules. If someone needs your team, it collects the context and sends the next step to the right person.

How fast can I get set up?

After a signed Square confirmation, a person reviews onboarding and confirms the setup questions, call flow, forwarding steps, testing, and launch timing. Checkout itself never starts service.

How does checkout work?

You choose the plan, enter a card through Square, and start a 14-day trial with $0 due today. Unless canceled before renewal, the selected plan renews monthly. Setup submission does not by itself verify billing or activate service.

How is this different from a regular answering service?

Traditional answering services often stop at taking a message. Gideon asks your approved questions, collects the details, and sends a useful summary so your team knows what to do next.

Can it connect with my existing tools?

Yes, on custom plans. We review your calendar, CRM, and scheduling tools before promising a direct connection so the setup stays reliable.

What about data privacy and security?

We keep caller details private, use approved tools, and review compliance needs before any regulated call setup goes live.

Can I use this for multiple locations?

Yes. Each location needs clear hours, service area, urgent-call rules, and the right person to notify before launch.

HUMAN REVIEW AFTER SIGNED PAYMENT CONFIRMATION

Start with clear call coverage.

Submit secure Square checkout and remain payment pending while we wait for signed confirmation. Only then does one human-owned onboarding review collect the business basics and confirm forwarding, testing, and launch timing.
