For businesses that lose work by not picking up — property managers, trades, clinics, agencies. It answers, it tells the caller what it is, and it puts them through to you the moment they ask.

The office closed at five. This would normally be a voicemail nobody hears until morning.

The call is in your inbox by morning, under the number that called.
The agent speaks in Corebee’s own voice — the same Cartesia voice your phone agent is configured with. The caller is synthesised too, and is not a real customer. A scripted example, not a recording of a real call.
Illustrative scripts, not recordings of real customer calls.
Nearly everyone has been trapped in an automated system that could not understand them and would not let them out. That experience is common enough that “we use real people” is a selling point our competitors build an entire business on.
We think the part they get right is the honesty, and the part they get wrong is the conclusion. What people object to is an AI pretending to be a person. So ours does not pretend. It opens by saying it is an A.I., and it puts you through to a human the second you ask — not after it has tried to help you twice more.
The rest is a question you can only settle by watching it work on your own business. That is what the call is for. If it handles your callers badly, we would rather you found out in 30 minutes with us than in month two on your own.
Every call says it is an A.I. before anything else happens. On the setup most businesses start on, the first thing a caller hears is “This call will be recorded and processed by an A.I. assistant”, and they press 1 to carry on. Set up without that keypress, the agent opens with “You’re speaking with an A.I. assistant, and this call may be recorded.” Either way the notice is part of the platform, not a setting — you can add your own words after it, but you cannot edit it out or switch it off.
Asking for a person is a trigger the agent listens for. It puts the caller through to the number you give us — it does not try to help one more time first, and it does not loop. When no transfer is available it says a member of the team will follow up, rather than pretending it has done something it has not.
Evenings, weekends, and the rush you did not staff for. The call that would have hit voicemail gets answered and dealt with instead.
Speech recognition is set for English spoken with a strong accent — a dedicated English model rather than one that keeps re-guessing the language, and a longer pause allowed before it decides you have finished speaking.
Your hours, your services, your policies. When it does not have the answer it says so and takes a message, rather than guessing at something you would be held to.
Each call opens a conversation in your inbox against the number that called, with the time it came in and how long it ran, so the morning after is a list rather than a voicemail queue. The call itself is not written out — what you get is the record that it happened, not a transcript of it.
What happens to a call: a call you would otherwise have missed comes in. Corebee answers it and tells the caller it is an A.I. assistant. From there the call either goes to a person on your team the moment the caller asks for one, or Corebee handles it — and either way the call arrives in your inbox as a conversation against the caller’s number.
Property managers fielding maintenance calls out of hours. Trades and home services who are under a sink when the phone goes. Clinics and practices where the front desk is already three deep. Agencies answering for several clients at once.

Answering services are usually sold by the minute with an overage rate on top, so the months your phone is busiest are the months you pay most. This is not priced that way.
Voice is set up with us rather than self-serve. That is a real constraint, and it is why the first step here is a call rather than a signup form.
We build the agent on your real business while you watch, then ask it the questions your customers actually ask. If it does not handle them well, we will tell you so on the call.
We build the agent live, point it at your real questions, and tell you straight whether it is ready for your callers.
