Why it exists

A missed call is not a missed call. It is a customer who has already rung somebody else by the time you see the notification. AvenDesk picks up in two rings at three in the morning, answers what they asked, books the job, and has it in your inbox before you are awake.

Watch it work

Under a minute, from the missed call to the job on the books.

A call answered at nine at night, priced, booked and confirmed. A sales call screened. Then every screen it lands in. The dashboard, the appointment book, the inbox and the meeting room in the film are real captures of the portal, not mock-ups, and the voice answering the call is the one AvenDesk actually answers with.

Spam screening, on every plan

Real customers in.
Spam out.

Robocalls and sales pitches ring the same number your customers do. Your receptionist answers every call, tells a pitch from a job, and spends its time on the people who actually want the work done.

  • Customers are never screenedAnything that sounds like a job, a price or a time that suits switches screening off for the rest of that call. A real customer is answered, priced and booked.
  • A sales pitch hears a polite noYour receptionist says it is your business's AI receptionist, that you don't accept sales or spam calls, and asks customers to say so. You choose whether it then hangs up on anyone who doesn't within 7 seconds.
  • You see who it wasOn Business Pro and Max+, your portal lists every screened call with the number and what they were selling, so a repeat caller can be blocked with your phone company. If it hangs up on someone, you are sent their number straight away.

A sample evening. Your portal shows your real one.

Inside the portal

Never miss another job.

Fifteen pages behind one login. Every one of them is on the screen today.

Your front desk

The morning read, in one screen.

Money booked this month, calls answered, where the work came from, your busiest hours, and which jobs are still waiting on you.

Appointments

Every job on the books.

Taken on a call, agreed over text, or typed in by you. Move one, cancel one, price one, and play the recording beside it.

Your inbox

Everyone who rang, texted or wrote.

Messages in, texts out, call transcripts and scheduled follow-ups on one screen, because they are one relationship rather than four.

Team chat

Your staff, off the group text.

Channels and direct messages for the people you work with, over the internet rather than over a phone number.

Voicemails & recordings

Hear it for yourself.

The rare call it could not take, and every call it did — played back in the browser with the transcript beside it.

Spam screened

The calls you never heard.

Sales robots and cold callers caught before they reached you, listed with the numbers they came from so you can block them.

Reviews

A reply, already drafted.

Google reviews land here with a response written for you. Nothing posts in your name until you have read it.

Business Pro and up

Video meetings

A room on the same login.

Schedule a video call, or open your personal room now, and send a link the other side can just click — no download and no second subscription.

Check its answers

Mark its homework.

Read what your receptionist told a customer and say whether it was right. What you correct is what it says next time.

Aven

Ask about your own business.

Our assistant, answering you rather than your customers. Ask in your own words — busiest week, who never called back, what changed since May.

Your receptionist

How it sounds, and what it says.

Its name and voice, your opening line, house rules, the jobs you refuse, the hours it books into, and who a caller is put through to.

Phone numbers

Your line, and any more you need.

The included number, call forwarding set up with your own carrier's codes, and extra lines at a published price you can cancel yourself.

Connections

Into whatever you already run.

Your calendar, the mailbox replies go out from, and a webhook or HubSpot key that pushes every job onward.

Plan & billing

Every figure behind the bill.

Minutes, texts and chats used this month against what you bought, the bill itemised line by line, your card, and every receipt.

All of it, one desk

Every channel. One list.

The phone line

Answered in about two rings, every hour of every day. It knows your prices, your hours and the jobs you turn down, and it books the appointment rather than taking a message.

Texts and messages

Business texting registered with the carriers, threads that pick up where the call left off, and follow-ups scheduled for the people who never rang back.

Video meetings

Your own room, always open, and a scheduler for everything else. The other side clicks a link — no download, no account — and the notes land on the customer the meeting belonged to.

One list, and the figures under it

Every call, text and meeting arrives on one screen with a value on it, so the month adds up to a number instead of a feeling.

Not a mockup

This is the actual product.

Seven screens from the real portal, filled with sample data rather than drawn for this page.

A text conversation in the AvenDesk portal: a customer reporting a roof leak, two appointment slots offered back, and the booking confirmed — all in one thread.

Texts, in the thread the call is in

A customer texts, your receptionist answers, and the booking it made is on the same conversation. Reply from here in your own words whenever you want to take over.

The Appointments page: six jobs today worth $3,604, 27 in the next seven days, and today's route in order with each customer's address.

Every job on the books

Taken on a call, agreed over text, or typed in by you — one list, with the price, the address and how to reach them on every row.

The spam screening page: 15 sales calls screened out of 761 taken, the eleven numbers behind them, and the time given back.

The calls you never had to take

Sales robots and cold callers screened before they reach you, counted, and listed with the numbers behind them — including the time it gave you back.

The voicemails page: a list of messages with a player open on the newest, the reason it went to voicemail, and a call-back link.

The rare one it could not take

A message left at a beep is playable here, with why the call ended up there and a Call back button that does what it says.

The video meetings page: a personal room number with a passcode, and a form for scheduling a meeting with a topic, date, time and duration.

A meeting room, always open

Your own number that never changes, and a scheduler for everything else. The other side clicks a link — no download, no account, no second subscription.

The Team chat page: a channel list and direct messages for the people who work at the business.

Your staff, off the group text

Channels and direct messages for the people you work with, over the internet rather than over a phone number — so nothing you say to your own crew comes out of your texting allowance.

The receptionist settings page: the business's phone number with call forwarding confirmed working, and tabs for how it sounds, when it answers, putting callers through and call recording.

How your phone gets answered

Its name and voice, the opening line, the house rules, the jobs you turn down and the hours it books into. Change one and it applies on the next call.

Your portal

The screen you will
actually open.

One login per business, on a laptop or in the van. Appointments, calls, texts, chats, meetings and reviews in a single list — and nobody sees it but you.

For the owner

Everything it took
while you were out.

One screen answers the only question worth asking on a Monday: was answering the phone worth it. Money booked this month, calls answered, where the work came from, and the jobs still waiting on a call back.

  • Money booked, with the jobs still unpriced counted separately
  • Where the work came from — phone, chat, your contact form, or you
  • Recordings and transcripts attached to the appointment they made
  • Your allowance live, so a limit is never a surprise
Look round the portal
The AvenDesk portal dashboard, showing money booked this month, calls answered, where the work came from, and the month's charts.

For the van

The same desk,
in your pocket.

The portal is the same product on a phone — not a cut-down app. Read the transcript of the call you just missed, text the customer back, move a job, and see the day's list, from the seat of the van.

  • Reply to a customer by text from the same thread the call is in
  • Move or cancel a job and the customer is told automatically
  • Team chat with your staff, over the internet rather than by text
  • Nothing to install — it is the same portal you sign in to on a laptop

The phone, the texts and the meeting room — behind one login, on one bill, in one list.

Available now

A meeting room on the same login.

Video meetings that run in the browser, the way Zoom does — no download, no separate account, and a link the other side can just click.

  • Runs in the browser on a laptop or a phone — nothing to install, either side
  • One click from an appointment, so the room is already tied to that job
  • Share your screen, and bring anyone in with a link
  • Notes and the recording land on the same customer record as the call
  • No second subscription and no per-seat licence

What it costs

Four plans.
Published, so you can decide today.

When a good month runs long

The phone does not stop when the allowance does.

Most metered services cut you off, or quietly bill you for a month you never agreed to. We do neither. Your receptionist keeps answering, you are told what it is costing as it happens, and you have 10 days to settle it.

  • We tell you at 80%, while there is still room to act
  • Past the allowance the line keeps working — nobody reaches a dead number
  • Usage past the allowance is $0.20 a minute and $0.03 a text
  • See it coming? $15 for 100 extra minutes bought ahead is cheaper
  • 10 days to pay it off, and you can move up a plan at any point instead
  • Rather never pay for extra? One setting stops it at the allowance and sends calls to you

free plan, no card/no setup fee/no contract/stop at the end of any month

On every plan, whichever you pick

  • The AI receptionist, answering calls 24/7
  • Callers who speak Spanish answered in Spanish
  • Your own phone number, kept or newly issued
  • Your business portal, with a login for each person who needs one
  • Booking, rescheduling and cancelling, by phone or portal
  • An email to you the moment a lead lands, and the job waiting in your portal
  • Your calendar connected, and every call transcribed
  • Thirty days of call history on every plan, and any call you mark kept for longer
  • Spam and robocalls screened out before they reach you
  • Your allowance, live in the portal, so a limit is never a surprise

Every plan includes a phone number. Business Pro includes 2 in all, and Business Max+ includes 4 in all. Any line beyond what your plan includes is $2 a month — you buy it in your portal and you can cancel it there, which stops the charge.

And what you will never be billed for

  • No setup fee
  • No card on the free plan — and nothing on it expires
  • No contract — stop at the end of any month
  • No per-seat pricing — the logins come with the plan
  • No cut-off mid-month — going over is charged, never switched off

When you reach the limit

The line never goes dead.

The allowances above are real limits, not fair-use wording. What they are not is a way to bill you more.

80%

We tell you early

An email and a flag in your portal while there is still room to act — not a notice after the fact.

100%

It keeps answering — on a paid plan

The line is not cut off and nobody reaches a dead number. Usage past the allowance is charged at $0.20 a minute and $0.03 a text — the same rate the portal sells minutes at, so waiting costs you nothing extra. Buying a fixed pack ahead of time is the only cheaper route: $15 for 100 extra minutes. Rather it stopped? One setting in your portal sends calls straight to you instead, and nothing extra is charged.

Free

On the free plan, it stops

This is the one place the free plan works differently, and it is worth knowing before you rely on it. Once the 15 receptionist minutes are gone, even partway through a call, the receptionist stops answering for the rest of the month — your number still rings and callers are put straight through to you instead, so nobody reaches a dead line, but the AI does not pick up again until the month resets. Video meetings are capped at 20 minutes a day rather than by the month. Nothing is charged as an overrun, because there is nothing to charge it to: upgrading is what starts it answering again.

10 days

You settle what you went over by

The balance is shown in your portal as it builds, and you pay it off there. Leave it unpaid past those days and the account can be suspended until it is settled — so it is worth watching, and worth moving up a plan if it keeps happening.

Asked before

The questions that decide it.

Every figure below is the real one. Nothing here changes after you sign up.

When am I charged, and what if it isn't for me?

At the checkout. Signing up is three steps — choose a plan, fill in your details, add a card — and your first month is charged there and then, with the same figure on the same day each month after. Your portal opens the moment it goes through. There is no free trial on the paid plans, so there is nothing to forget to cancel and no date on which a bill appears by itself. Stopping is self-serve in the portal and takes no longer than signing up did — you stay on until the end of the month you have paid for, and nothing renews after that. Whatever the receptionist booked stays yours, and exports from the portal. If you would rather see it work before paying, that is the free plan — roughly five calls a month, no card, and it does not run out or turn into anything. Move up when the calls do.

Will it waste my time on spam and sales calls?

No — screening them is part of answering the phone, and it is on every plan, the free one included. When a caller turns out to be selling something, your receptionist says plainly that it is your business's AI receptionist, that you don't accept sales or spam calls, and asks customers to say so; you choose whether it then hangs up on anyone who doesn't within 7 seconds. Calls it screens don't use up your minutes. Anyone who sounds like a customer — a job, a price, a time that suits — is never screened for the rest of that call, so a real customer is answered and booked as normal. On Business Pro and Business Max+, your portal lists every screened call with the number and what they were selling, so a repeat caller can be blocked with your phone company. We do not block numbers ourselves — only your phone company can.

What happens if I run out of minutes?

Your receptionist keeps answering — that is the point of it. We flag it in your portal and by email at 80%, and past the allowance the extra usage is charged at $0.20 a minute and $0.03 a text. Pay it in the portal within five days of going over, or your receptionist pauses and calls come straight to you until you do; the month's balance is due 10 days after the month ends. It is shown to you as it builds, so it is never a surprise, and if it goes unpaid past those days the account can be suspended until it is settled. If you would rather buy more time before you get there, the portal sells it at the same rate — $0.20 a minute and $0.03 a text, up to $20 at a time — so waiting costs you nothing extra, and past that it points you at a bigger plan because that is the better deal. The one cheaper route is a fixed pack bought ahead: $15 for 100 extra minutes. And if you would rather never pay for extra at all, one setting in the portal makes your receptionist stop at the allowance instead and send calls straight to you, with nothing charged.

How do I know which plan I am?

Count the calls you take in a normal week and multiply by four. Business covers roughly 100 calls a month, Business Pro roughly 330 and Business Max+ roughly 660, at about three minutes a call. If you land between two, start lower — moving up in the portal takes one click, and your usage is on the dashboard from day one.

Can I reply to Google reviews?

On Business Pro and Business Max+. Your Google Business profile connects to the portal, new reviews land there, and a reply is drafted for you to approve or rewrite — nothing is ever posted in your name without you reading it first. Business does not include the review centre.
