About VoiceScout

You’re thinking about forwarding your phone number to a stranger.

That’s a bigger ask than most software makes, and it deserves a straight answer about who we are rather than a page about our mission. Here is who built her, why, what she runs on, and what happens to the calls she takes.

Everything on this page is checkable against the privacy policy and the terms. If you find a place where this page says more than those do, the policy wins and we want to know.

The short version

What it is
An AI receptionist for home-service businesses, and the direct mail that makes her phone ring.
Who’s behind it
The people behind Home Service AI LLC, a direct-mail company for the trades. Same outfit, same person answering your email.
How many customers
None yet, publicly or privately. That’s why this page exists instead of a wall of logos.
What she’s built on
ElevenLabs for the voice, Anthropic for the language model, Lob and USPS for the mail. Named here and in the privacy policy.
Why we built her

Our whole job was making contractors’ phones ring. Then we listened to what happened next.

Mail that nobody answers is an expensive receipt for postage.

VoiceScout came out of Home Service AI LLC, our direct-mail company for home-service businesses. The job was straightforward: pick the right households, put a card on the mat, make the phone ring. We were good at the first three-quarters of that sentence.

What we kept running into was the last quarter. The cards landed on a Saturday. The calls came at seven in the evening, or on a Sunday, or in the ninety minutes a two-truck landscaping business is out on a job with nobody in an office, because there isn’t an office. A campaign that a contractor paid real money for was being judged on whether anyone happened to be near a phone.

You can’t fix that with better artwork. So we built the part that answers: an AI receptionist who picks up on the first ring, knows what the business actually does, checks whether the caller’s address is somewhere you’d drive, and writes the whole thing down. Plenty of businesses now buy her on her own and never mail a postcard, and that’s fine. She was always the half that mattered.

We’re early. There is no customer logo wall on this site because there is nothing honest to put on it, and inventing one would be a strange way to ask you to forward us your business line. What we can do instead is let you talk to her before you commit to anything, and put you on the phone with the person who wrote the code rather than a rep working from a script.

Where that leaves you

  • You can hear the product before you talk to anyone. The demo is on the site and it isn’t a recording.
  • You are early, and early has a price and a payoff. The payoff is that the person who builds it answers your email.
  • Nothing about the setup is irreversible. Your number is yours the whole time, and call forwarding is a switch you control at your own phone company.
  • If she isn’t right for your business, we’d rather hear it in week one than take a year of subscription for a phone she’s answering badly.
Being early

What working with us actually looks like right now.

Not the version we’ll have when there’s a support department. The version you’d get this month.

You talk to the founder The first call is with the person who built her. There is no discovery call before the real call, and nobody is going to hand you to an account executive.
Setup is done with you, not sent to you She reads your website, then you answer the questions your trade actually gets asked, in your own words. We don’t write your answers for you and she won’t use a question you haven’t answered.
You hear her before you buy her Talk to her in the browser, and listen to how she handles a price question or a ZIP code that isn’t in your area. That conversation tells you more than this page can.
Leaving is a switch, not a project Your number was never ported and never transferred. Turn the forwarding off at your phone company and calls ring exactly where they always did, the same day.
What she runs on

The parts we didn’t build, and who does build them.

Every company that touches a call is named below, the same list that appears in our privacy policy, because a vendor you only find out about by reading a policy isn’t much of a disclosure.

  • ElevenLabs The voice and the transcription. The audio you hear, and the written record of what was said. The voice is theirs; what she knows, what she is allowed to say and what she does with an address is ours.
  • Anthropic The language model behind her replies. The reasoning that turns a rambling caller into a name, an address, and a clear description of what’s wrong.
  • Lob Print and mail. Postcards printed and handed to the postal system, with delivery tracked back to us rather than guessed at.
  • USPS Delivery. Including every-door carrier routes, which is what makes saturation mail on a whole neighbourhood possible without buying a list.
  • Fly.io Hosting. Where the application, your dashboard and your data live.
  • Cloudflare DNS and network security. The layer in front of the site and the app.

This is borrowed credibility, and we’ll say so out loud

We didn’t train a speech model and we didn’t build a printing plant. Listing the companies that did is the honest substitute for a customer wall we haven’t earned yet: it tells you the parts you can’t judge from the outside are being done by people who do only that. The parts we did build, what she asks, what she refuses to invent, what happens to the lead ninety seconds later, you should judge by talking to her, not by a logo.

Your calls, your data

In plain language, before you read the policy.

The privacy policy is the document that binds us. This is the same thing said the way you’d say it out loud.

Every call is recorded, and the caller is told

She says she’s an automated assistant and that the call is recorded, in her first sentence, before the caller has said a word. It isn’t a setting a business can switch off. You can add your own greeting after it, never instead of it.

Several states require everyone on a call to agree before it’s recorded. Saying it out loud, every time, is the straightforward way to be on the right side of that, and it’s the decent thing to do besides.

The recording belongs to the business that took the call

Recordings, transcripts and the details she captured go to the business the caller rang. We use conversation data to run and improve the service. We do not sell personal information, and we don’t hand your callers to anybody else’s marketing.

We don’t buy phone numbers

A mailing list holds names and addresses. It does not hold phone numbers, and we don’t go and buy them. That’s why she greets someone by name after a QR scan and answers a plain dial as a stranger. That is a limitation we’d rather keep than fix that way.

Your mailing list is used for your campaigns and nothing else

Not resold, not blended into anyone else’s file, not used to market to your customers on somebody else’s behalf. It runs your campaign and then it sits still.

How long we keep it, and what we’d rather

Today the policy keeps campaign records, transcripts and lead data while your account is active, so you can go back through your own history.

We think an open-ended window on call recordings is the wrong answer, and a stated number of months is the right one. When that changes, the policy changes first and this paragraph changes with it.

If you got a postcard from us

You can ask us to stop. Email hello@voicescout.ai with your address and we’ll add it to the suppression list for future VoiceScout mailings, and you can ask for a copy of anything a conversation captured, or ask us to delete it.

The rules we write to

Three things we’ve decided not to do.

These are the actual copy rules this website is written to. Publishing them is the only way you can hold us to them.

We don’t invent proof

No testimonials, no customer logos, no case studies, and no “businesses miss X% of their calls” statistic dressed up as research. If a number appears anywhere on this site and it isn’t yours, it is a competitor’s own published price with a link and a date next to it, or it is inside a labelled product mock-up.

We don’t imply she knows more than she does

She greets a homeowner by name when they scan the QR code on their postcard, because the scan tells her which card it was. When someone dials the printed number instead, she doesn’t know who they are and she won’t pretend to. Every page that mentions the clever bit also mentions that.

We don’t sell what she can’t do yet

She takes estimate requests. She does not book appointments into your calendar, sync to your CRM, or take payment over the phone. Plenty of products in this category imply all three. When any of it ships, the product page changes before the sales pitch does.

Straight answer

Should you hand your phone to a company with no customers?

Not on the strength of a page like this one, no. Do it on the strength of a conversation with her: ask her something awkward, give her a ZIP code you don’t cover, ask for a price she hasn’t been given. Ninety seconds tells you more than any amount of copy, and if she isn’t good enough for your customers you’ll know inside the first thirty.

Questions for a human first? hello@voicescout.ai. It comes to us, not a queue.

The boring, necessary details

VoiceScout is a product of Home Service AI LLC. That’s the name on the terms, and it’s the name you may see on a card statement, worth knowing before it turns up there and looks like something you didn’t sign up for.

The terms of service and the privacy policy are the documents that actually govern what we do. Nothing on this page overrides them, and where this page is shorter, they are the longer and more accurate version.
