For property managers who owe residents 24/7 emergency cover and cannot staff it. It answers after hours, tells the caller it is an A.I., and puts them through to your on-call number the moment they ask.

The office closed at five. The lease commits you to 24/7 emergency cover; the rota does not.

The transfer happened because the caller asked for it — on a phone call, nothing else starts one.
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. Most setups open with “This call will be recorded and processed by an A.I. assistant” and a keypress to continue; set up without that, the agent says it itself. Either way the notice is part of the platform — you can add your own words after it, you cannot remove it.
Asking for a person is a trigger the agent listens for, and on a phone call nothing else starts a transfer — not the word emergency, not a raised voice. It finishes the sentence it is saying before it dials, then stops talking. It will not dial the number the caller just rang, so it cannot loop them back into itself.
The line is answered by the platform rather than by whoever happens to have their phone on that night. By default a caller first hears a short consent step — press 1 to continue on a recorded line — and the agent speaks after that. It is the default on a number we connect, and it is one of the things we set with you.
It answers from what you have loaded: office hours, where rent goes, what your emergency policy actually says. When it does not have the answer it says so rather than inventing a deposit rule or a fee you would then be held to. It is also blocked from confirming or denying that a particular viewing slot is free, which is the most expensive thing a leasing bot can get wrong.
Speech recognition is set to a dedicated English model rather than one that keeps re-guessing which language it is hearing, with a longer pause allowed before it decides the caller has finished. That is the whole language story on the phone today. If a large share of your residents call in Spanish, those calls are not the ones to put here yet — web chat and email are a different matter.
Each call opens a conversation in your inbox against the number that called, so the morning after is a list of who rang and when rather than a voicemail queue. The honest limit: on a phone call we do not write a transcript or the caller's message into that conversation today. Anything that has to reach a person tonight should go out through the transfer, not sit waiting for you.
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.
Third-party managers running other people's buildings. Community association managers with a board that reads every complaint. Single-family portfolios scattered across a metro. Student housing in turn week. Two calls cost you money and they arrive at opposite ends of the day: the prospect who rings at 7:40pm, gets voicemail, and calls the next listing on the page; and the leak at midnight that is a ceiling by 2am, an insurance claim by Thursday, and a habitability complaint after that. If you already pay an answering service for that line, it is usually because something — the lease, the management agreement, or your state's habitability rules — commits you to cover the rota cannot provide. This is a different way to answer that line. What it costs, and the monthly minute ceiling that comes with it, we agree with you on the call rather than after the fact. What it is not is a dispatcher: it does not page a technician, open a work order, or decide who gets woken up. It answers, it says what it is, and the moment the caller asks for a person it dials the on-call number you gave us.

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 portfolio while you watch, then ask it the questions your residents and prospects actually ask — your emergency policy, your office hours, where rent goes, what happens with a lockout. If it handles them badly, we will tell you so on the call rather than let you find out in month two.
We build the agent live, point it at your real questions, and tell you straight whether it is ready for your callers.
