Receptionist
AI employee · Front desk · Phone
Asks one-time or recurring, how many rooms, takes the address, texts you the job.
Cleaning calls come while the vacuum is running, and they are a house, a frequency and a date. Maxxus.ai hires you a receptionist that captures all three in your name, a confirmation agent that makes sure tomorrow's homes are expecting you, and a collections agent for the invoices that slip, each disclosing that it is an AI.
The moment
A one-time move-out clean and a weekly recurring client sound the same on voicemail: gone. An AI receptionist asks whether it is one-time or recurring and how many rooms, takes the address and the callback number, and texts it to you. You send the quote when the vacuum is off.
The roster
Three jobs from the roster, each briefed on your cleaning company. Hire one to start; the others share the brief.
