Common questions

Will customers know it's an AI?

Yes — every call opens with a clear AI disclosure ("This is an AI-powered assistant for [Business Name]..."). It's required for TCPA compliance and customers actually appreciate the honesty.

Do I have to change my phone number?

No. Calls forward from your existing business line. SMS replies and confirmations also come from your business number — not a random platform shortcode like our competitors.

What if the AI gets confused?

If a caller asks something off-script, the AI either takes a callback message or transfers to your designated emergency line. We monitor every call and you get a daily report of anything flagged.

Are calls recorded?

Yes, with consent disclosed at the start of each call (per California Penal Code 632). Recordings are kept for 90 days for quality and dispute purposes, then auto-deleted. Full details in our Privacy Policy.

Will this replace my front-office staff?

No — and we don't want to. VigilDesk is built for the 128 hours a week your team isn't on the phone (nights, weekends, lunch breaks, on-the-roof moments). Most of our clients use the time saved to grow revenue, not cut payroll. Your people stay your people; we just stop the leads from leaking after hours.

How does the free pilot work?

We forward your business line to our AI for 14 days — no card, no contract, no setup fee. If we don't book you at least 3 paying jobs in those 2 weeks, you walk away owing nothing. Once we hit 3 jobs, billing starts at your chosen tier ($499 or $999/mo). We're betting our time, not yours.

Our stance

Augmentation, not displacement.

We started VigilDesk because every HVAC owner we know was losing $1,500 to $4,000 a week to the phone ringing at 6:42 PM, midnight, Saturday morning — times no human reasonably wants to be on the phone. The fix isn't replacing the people who run these businesses. The fix is giving small home-services teams a 24/7 backstop so they can win the AI shift without getting steamrolled by it.

Small businesses, big presence. That's the whole job.

Stop losing jobs to voicemail.
