Canadian small businesses that book work by phone: trades, clinics, salons, restaurants and professional services
About Cedri
Cedri is an AI receptionist for Canadian small businesses. It answers your business line 24 hours a day, in English and French on the same call, and books the job while the caller is still on the phone instead of taking a message.
You get a local Canadian phone number. Callers can book, move or cancel an appointment, ask about your services, hours and prices, and be transferred to a person when they need one. You and the customer both get a text confirmation, and returning callers are recognized.
Cedri is set up for your trade, with templates for more than 100 kinds of business, from plumbers and dental clinics to salons and restaurants. It uses the words your customers use.
Every call gets a summary and a full transcript in the iPhone and Android apps and on the web. Bookings sync with Google Calendar and Outlook (beta). Bookings and call transcripts are stored in Canada.
One plan: CA$18.99 a month with 30 answered calls included. No per-minute charges, no contract.

Call Welcome
Call Welcome is a cloud-based AI phone receptionist for Canadian home-service trades. It answers calls forwarded from an existing business number. The receptionist tells callers it is AI and that the call is transcribed, answers business-defined questions about hours, service area and services, and collects the caller's name, callback number, address, job details, urgency and preferred callback time. Messages are texted to the business and saved in an online inbox with a transcript. Businesses can define emergency conditions for routing calls to the owner's phone, choose whether the service answers outside business hours, and have sales calls declined. Use cases include plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling, roofing, garage doors, painting, tile, paving, landscaping, pools and home cleaning. Plans include monthly call-minute allowances, with per-minute overage or voicemail options when the allowance is used.

SwiftGuard
SwiftGuard is an AI receptionist for plumbing and heating businesses. When the plumber is under a sink or out on a callout, SwiftGuard answers the phone in the company's name, tells the caller it is an AI assistant, takes the caller's name, address and problem, and books the job into the connected Google Calendar based on real availability. A business chooses whether SwiftGuard answers every call or only the calls nobody picks up; forwarding is a short code dialled on the existing phone, so the business keeps its number. Callers can also move or cancel an existing appointment or leave a message, and every call lands in the dashboard with a recording, a transcript and the caller's details. Calls it cannot handle are flagged for a callback. The agent speaks English, Dutch, German, French, Italian and Spanish and switches language mid-call. Calls and transcripts are encrypted and deleted after 90 days. Three flat monthly plans include a bundle of call minutes with no per-minute charge.

Sorted Calls
Sorted Calls is a cloud-based AI phone receptionist for UK trades and other small businesses that cannot always answer incoming calls. It handles calls diverted from a business number, greets callers using the business name, and identifies itself as an AI assistant. During each conversation it gathers the caller’s details, the work requested and its urgency, then sends the business an email with a call transcript and a push alert so staff can follow up. The service is aimed at plumbers, electricians, roofers, cleaners, salons and similar small firms that want to capture enquiries while working, driving or serving customers. Plans include monthly call-minute allowances with per-minute charges above the allowance, and a seven-day trial capped at 20 minutes. This gives small teams a way to collect enquiries without answering every call live.
