Calls in Great Falls
Where a Great Falls call starts
For “plumber great falls”, the Map Pack came first when we checked, and a tap on one of those listings dials a number. The receptionist has your services, hours and service area loaded, so a call that starts on a map listing gets the same answers as one that starts on the website.
The rest can arrive from the site, from a yard sign and from a customer who was told to call back. Lithium also does AI consulting on that side of the business: where the administrative work piles up, what is worth automating and what should stay with a person.

The Great Falls market
Housing, weather and the answers on your phone line
72.3% of Great Falls homes predate 1980, and owners live in 66.1% of the occupied ones. If your callers ask about older houses, the answers belong in the knowledge base: a furnace that keeps quitting, a line that freezes, a roof near the end of its life.
Great Falls winters are very cold, long and often snowy, and there is an average of 20.8 nights with a low of 0 °F. If a cold snap pushes a run of calls past the workday, the receptionist keeps the same rules at midnight that it uses at noon.

Trades in Cascade County
Which Great Falls trades need the line answered
A caller who reaches voicemail cannot book the job on that call. Cascade County holds 85,029 people and 43 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors, and the business that answers is the one with a chance to book it.
The project trades work differently. For a builder or a landscaper, the receptionist can collect the address, the scope and a timeline before anyone drives out, then book the estimate. The same call rules should not run both kinds of business.

Set up for you
What the setup involves
Every rule gets your approval first, and the line goes live after a test call from your own phone.
Sort the calls by urgency
You tell us which callers need a person, which can be booked and which only need a text back, and every rule follows that order.
Load the answers in your words
Your services, hours, service area and the questions you hear most go into the knowledge base, written the way your best tech would say them.
Connect the calendar and the transfers
Bookings go to the calendar you name, and a transfer rings the number you choose, once we have confirmed both connections work.
Scope the automation separately
The receptionist covers the phone. Custom automation, from review requests to CRM updates and document processing, is a separate project scoped after a free discovery call, and builds typically take one to two weeks.
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
Working phone systems
Two service businesses, two phone systems
The card below covers a plumbing company whose after-hours callers were reaching voicemail, so Lithium built a custom AI phone system to catch them. Smart Doors LLC, a garage door company, came to Lithium for a website and added the AI receptionist to its phones afterward.

Published price
What the AI receptionist costs here
$179
per month, fully managed
No contract and no setup fee, so you can cancel anytime. The voice, knowledge base, call rules and calendar and CRM hooks are all set up by Lithium. Custom AI automation is scoped after a free discovery call.
What happens when a caller asks for a human?
The call transfers to the number you choose, and you decide which requests qualify: emergencies, existing customers, or anyone who asks to speak to someone. The rest get an answer, a few questions and either a booking or a text, all inside the rules you wrote.
Is automation included in the $179?
The two are separate. The $179 a month covers the receptionist, with no contract and no setup fee. Custom automation is a separate project scoped after a free discovery call, and AI consulting comes first when you want help deciding what is worth building.
How long does setup take?
Usually days. Once the call rules, services and calendar access are in, we run test calls with you on the line and fix what sounds wrong before a customer hears it.
Will it handle an emergency the way we do?
It follows the urgency rules you write, so the answer is the one you would give. You name the calls that count as emergencies and the person they reach, and those calls transfer straight to that person at any hour. A job that can wait gets booked, and the rest get a text with the details.
Where does AI consulting come in?
It comes before any build. We look at the work that eats time every week: the data entry after a job, the follow-up texts, the review requests, the documents nobody wants to retype. Some of it is worth automating and some is not, and the discovery call is where we sort that out.
Free action plan
Call the demo line, then build yours
Call the demo line and listen to a service call being answered. Then send over the calls you take and the ones that must reach a person. A co-founder will turn both lists into the rules on a short video call.
