Who we work with

Built for how the island actually works.

Busy season is when you have the least time to answer questions, and the most people asking them. We handle the repetitive part so your team can run the boat, the crew, the kitchen or the course.

Charters & tours

Fishing, dolphin, sunset, kayak and eco tours. Questions get answered while you're out on a trip, and weather days are handled in one tap.

Landscaping & home services

Lawn care, pest control, pools, HVAC and cleaning. Quote requests come in with photos while your crew is working.

Golf courses

Tee time and rate questions answered instantly, outing inquiries captured, and frost-delay notices sent automatically.

Vacation rentals

Guest messages answered around the clock, maintenance requests routed, and owner reports drafted.

Real estate

New leads get a reply in under a minute, followed up until they book a showing.

Restaurants

Questions about hours, waits and the menu answered, reviews replied to, and social posts drafted.

What we offer

Three ways we help your business run itself.

Start with one and add more when you're ready. Everything is built around your own services, prices and policies, and connected to the tools you already use.

How it works

Live before the season starts.

Most setups take about a week. You'll talk to the person who builds it, not a call center.

Free audit & plan

We test how your calls, texts and website questions get answered, then give you a one-page plan with what to set up first and what it's worth.

Build

We set everything up with your prices, policies and tone, and connect it to the tools you already use.

You test it

You try it, ask it tough questions, and tell us what to change. Nothing goes live without your OK.

We keep it sharp

We check in every month, update prices and seasons, and send you a short report.

Pricing

Simple, and less than a part-time hire.

A one-time setup plus a monthly plan for hosting, monitoring and updates. Month to month, and seasonal businesses can pause over the winter.

Questions

What owners ask us.

Don't see yours? Email us. You'll hear back from a real person here on the island.

Do I need all three products?

No. Most businesses start with Front Desk, then add Autopilot or Web later. The free audit will tell you which one makes the biggest difference for you.

How long does setup take?

Most businesses are live in about a week. We spend the first month fine-tuning based on real conversations, and most of that happens without taking up your time.

How does the assistant know about my business?

We build it from your own information: services, prices, hours, policies and the questions you get every day. It only answers from what you've approved, and we update it when something changes, like seasonal hours or new rates.

What happens when it doesn't know the answer?

It tells the customer someone will follow up shortly and texts you a one-line summary. Refunds, complaints and anything unusual always go to a person.

What if it gets something wrong?

It only answers from information you've approved, and anything it isn't sure about goes to you. We review conversations every month, and if something's off we fix it that day.

Will my customers know it's AI?

If a customer asks, it tells them it's your automated assistant. Most people just care that they got a fast, correct answer.

Does it speak Spanish?

Yes. It replies in whatever language the customer writes in, and Autopilot messages to customers or crews can go out in English or Spanish.

Does it work with the software I already use?

Usually, yes. We connect to common booking, scheduling and CRM tools like FareHarbor, Peek, Jobber, golf tee-sheet systems, Google Calendar and more. We'll confirm what you use during the free audit.

What about my customers' data?

Your customer information stays in your accounts. We only use it to run your setup. We never sell it or share it, and you can ask us to delete it at any time.

Is there a contract?

There's a one-time setup fee and then a month-to-month plan. Cancel anytime. If you're seasonal, we can pause your plan over the winter.

Which areas do you serve?

Hilton Head Island, Bluffton, Okatie and the surrounding area in person, and anywhere remotely.

Find out how many customers you're missing.

Get a free missed-call audit and written plan. We'll call, text and message your business the way a customer would. Then we'll show you what they experience, and give you a one-page plan with what to set up first. No strings attached.
