Boulder AI, answered
What a Boulder phone line loses when nobody picks up
Boulder County has 95 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors, and if a call goes to voicemail, the caller can try the next name on the list. Lithium Marketing runs a managed AI receptionist for Boulder service businesses, so a call that would have gone to voicemail gets answered, qualified and either booked or passed to a person.
For $179 a month with no contract and no setup fee, the receptionist answers 24/7 in your brand voice, books into your calendar and texts the caller what happens next. Custom automation is scoped on its own after a free discovery call, for the work that starts when the call ends: the CRM update, the follow-up text and the review request.

The Boulder market
How an older house changes the first question
The median home in Boulder was built in 1977, so the knowledge base should cover the older systems you meet on a service call. The answers you give about those systems go into the knowledge base in your words, and the receptionist can say what you do without quoting a price.
47.2% of Boulder’s occupied homes are owner-occupied, and a renter may be the one calling about work a landlord has to approve. A rule that asks who approves the job keeps that call from turning into a dead end.

Trades in Boulder County
Repair calls and project calls need different answers
A garage door company and a landscaper get different calls, and the rules should say so. “garage door repair boulder” draws 320 searches a month, and if a caller’s door will not close, the conversation is about today; a landscaper’s caller wants a quote for a project that starts later.
Boulder County has 169 landscaping services and 192 residential remodelers, and neither trade can give a price on the phone that will hold. The receptionist qualifies the job and books the visit; the price stays with the person who will see the property.

Set up for you
Getting from a rule sheet to a working phone line
Nothing goes live until you sign off on the greeting, the questions and the handoff rules.
List the calls you want handled
We start with the calls you already get: the emergencies, the quote requests and the questions your team answers the same way every week.
Write the answers in your voice
Your services, hours, service area and the answers you give most often go into the knowledge base. You approve the wording and choose from 30 natural voices.
Check the calendar and the handoff
We confirm the booking connection with your calendar or CRM before it goes live, and set which calls ring a person and which number they ring.
Hear how it handles your callers
You and your team can hear the recordings and read the transcripts, and any rule that sent a caller the wrong way gets changed.
What the AI receptionist does on every call
The same eight parts go into every AI receptionist setup, wherever the business is.
- Answers every call, 24/7
- Qualifies the lead
- Books the appointment
- Answers common questions
- Sends follow-up texts
- Captures every detail
- Transfers to a real person when needed
- Connects to your CRM and calendar
Proof
Two phone systems doing two different jobs
The plumbing company in the card had after-hours emergency calls landing in voicemail, and Lithium built it a custom AI phone system. The other example is a garage door company, Smart Doors LLC, which took a website from Lithium and later had the AI receptionist answering its phones.

FAQ
Boulder AI receptionist questions, before you switch
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
What happens when a caller asks for a human?
The call transfers to the number you choose. You set which calls go to a person and which get booked, answered or texted, and the transfer can happen at any point in the conversation.
What does $179 a month cover?
It covers the managed receptionist: your brand voice, the knowledge base, booking, the follow-up texts and the transfers, with no setup fee and no contract. The line answers every call 24/7 and handles unlimited concurrent calls, so a busy Monday does not push anyone to voicemail.
Who handles a burst pipe call at midnight?
The receptionist answers it, and your rule decides the next step. A burst pipe call rings the on-call tech, a slow leak gets the first opening on the calendar, and anything unclear becomes a text to your team.
How does it learn my services and my hours?
It learns from what you give us. We take what you already say to customers and turn it into the answers it gives, and you approve the greeting and the wording before a real caller hears them.
What does custom automation add, and what does it cost?
A custom build is a separate project from the receptionist, priced after a free discovery call and usually put together in one to two weeks. The usual jobs are the follow-up text, the CRM entry and the review request, plus document processing when a form or a file has to be read before anyone calls back.
