Sound familiar?

Every missed call is a customer who calls someone else.

You're busy with your work, and that's exactly when customers call and message. Claudia catches them, so you never miss anyone again.

The phone rings while you're busy

A customer in the chair, your hands full or on the road: you can't pick up. And not every caller tries again.

WhatsApp messages pile up

Questions about prices, hours and appointments stack up. Whoever waits hours for an answer goes elsewhere.

The same questions, all day long

How much is it, are you open, can I come by tomorrow? You or your staff type the same answers every day, time that should go to your work.

What Claudia does

One assistant for your phone and your WhatsApp.

Claudia knows your business: your services, prices and business hours. You choose what she does for you, and she helps your customers right away. Whatever your team needs to know is ready in the dashboard.

She answers the phone

Friendly, calm and in plain sentences, with no phone menu.

Answers WhatsApp

Voice notes and photos too. Choices appear as buttons, one tap to answer.

Books appointments in your calendar

From your business hours: only times that are free, classes and groups too until they're full.

Takes orders

Through your menu or product list in WhatsApp. The customer hears as soon as the order is ready or on its way.

Books stays and rides

A room, a tour or a taxi ride, with the dates and the pickup address. The customer hears when the driver is on the way.

Helps with a problem

She opens a ticket for your team, tells the customer where it stands and lets them know when it's solved.

Takes urgent jobs, day and night

Whoever is on call gets a WhatsApp message right away, and callers who need a person are put through.

Reminds by WhatsApp and phone

At the moments you choose, for example a day and an hour before. Confirming takes one tap.

Calls your customers herself

From your own number: to sell, remind someone of a payment, run a short survey or win back old customers.

Transfers when it matters

Callers who need a person get your team. Missed? She notes who called.

Catches new customers

Name, number and what they want, with a WhatsApp alert to your team.

Claudia, a receptionist or a chatbot?

She's never too busy, never complains and never asks for a raise.

Your team does the work that needs people. Claudia handles the rest: the calls and messages that always come at the wrong moment.

Never too busy

Phone and WhatsApp at the same time, and nobody waits hours for an answer.

Never gets sick

No sick days and no vacations, so nobody has to fill in.

Never complains

Even the tenth time someone asks the same question, she stays friendly and patient.

Never asks for a raise

One fixed amount a month. No salary, vacation pay or overtime.

The Claudia method

Understands. Handles. Hands over.

Where a menu bot gets stuck and a receptionist helps one customer at a time, Claudia does three things in one conversation.

  1. 1

    Understands

    Your customer writes or talks the way they always do: typos, voice notes, English or Dutch. No menus, no “press 1.”

  2. 2

    Handles

    She books the appointment, takes the order or ride or notes the lead, straight into your dashboard, while the customer is still there.

  3. 3

    Hands over

    When a person makes the difference, she passes the customer to your team with everything already noted. Your team takes over a chat in one tap.

How minutes and conversations are counted

A call counts from the moment Claudia answers; ringing and unanswered calls are free, and every started minute of a call counts. On WhatsApp, every customer Claudia or your team replies to counts as one conversation for 24 hours, however many messages go back and forth; messages from your customers are free. Unused minutes and conversations don't roll over. Messages after 24 hours of silence (WhatsApp templates, such as reminders) cost $0.04 each, promotions $0.25. Calls Claudia makes herself cost $0.60 a minute, and every minute with a Suriname mobile number (calling or transferring) $1.20; those minutes don't come out of your included minutes. Each extra phone number costs $12 a month.

Questions

Questions, answered.

Is your question not listed? Ask Claudia herself on WhatsApp at +597 879 4472.

What does Claudia cost?

From $29 a month. Phone or WhatsApp costs $29, $99 or $199 a month (Starter, Pro or Business), both together $49, $189 or $379. Call minutes and WhatsApp conversations are included, and there's no setup fee: we set everything up for you.

Can I have more than one Claudia?

Yes. Every plan includes several agents, each with its own job, its own number and its own knowledge: for example one for new customers and one for orders. Starter has 2, Pro 5 and Business as many as you need. They share your plan's call minutes and conversations.

What can Claudia do for my business?

You choose what she does: reception, appointments, a restaurant or shop, bookings, rides, customer service, urgent jobs or calling people herself. Then you choose your industry from 65, from hair salon to taxi company; if yours isn't listed, choose Other industry. Claudia starts with what's usual in your industry, and you can change everything.

Can Claudia call my customers too?

Yes, from your own number. She calls to remind customers of an appointment, at the moments you choose, for example a day and an hour before. Or she calls a list of people with one goal: selling, a payment reminder, a short survey or winning back old customers. Calls Claudia starts herself cost $0.60 a minute.

Can she do something else later?

Each Claudia has one job, so her dashboard fits exactly what she does. Another job is a new Claudia within your plan; you delete the old one when you no longer need her.

Is it worth it if I only get a few messages a day?

If you get a handful and always answer quickly yourself, you may not need her yet. Does it cost you time between customers every day, or do messages wait for hours? Then use the free calculator in the Claudia Academy to count what a missed customer costs you, and how many you miss now.

How does it work, and what do you need from me?

There's nothing to install. When you sign up you choose what Claudia does and your industry; if you have a website, she reads it. You check what she knows, choose a plan and connect your WhatsApp or phone. Rather have help? Then we set it up with you in a short conversation. You and your team use the dashboard in your browser, on a computer or a phone.

Does Claudia really sound human?

She speaks with a warm, natural voice, in plain sentences rather than phone menus. Talk to her with the button at the top of this page, or message her on WhatsApp at +597 879 4472, and hear for yourself.

Do my customers know they're talking to an AI?

You decide how Claudia introduces herself, for example as your digital assistant. Anyone who would rather talk to a person, she passes to your team.

Which languages does she speak?

English and Dutch, in the language your customer speaks or writes. Need Spanish or Portuguese too? Ask us what's possible.

What if Claudia doesn't know something?

She transfers the call to your team, or notes the question so someone from your team can call the customer back.

Are conversations recorded, and who can see them?

Yes. Every call is recorded and transcribed, and every chat is saved. You can listen back, download or share it from the dashboard. Only your own team sees them, and we only look when we're helping you. We never sell your data.

Can I keep using the WhatsApp Business app?

Yes. Your team can keep replying from their phones and take over any conversation in the dashboard. Claudia takes it back afterward.

Which countries does Claudia work in?

WhatsApp works for businesses anywhere. Claudia answers phone lines in the US, Canada and Suriname: you get a local number, or you keep your own and forward it to her. Elsewhere, ask us what's possible.

Is there a free trial?

Yes, 3 days, with your card. You pay $0 today. The trial ends after 3 days, or sooner if its usage runs out: 20 call minutes on a plan with phone and 25 WhatsApp conversations on a plan with WhatsApp (a plan with both has both limits). Then your plan starts and your card is charged every month. Cancel during the trial and you pay nothing. One trial per business.

Do I need a credit card?

For the free trial, yes: it runs on your card. You can also go without one: pay by bank transfer in US dollars, each month in advance, with an invoice for every payment. Then there is no free trial, and Claudia goes live once your payment comes in. There is no setup fee, and you can cancel any month.

What if my minutes or conversations run out?

Claudia keeps answering. An extra minute costs $0.45 to $0.50 and an extra WhatsApp conversation $0.25 to $0.30, depending on your plan. Extras go on your next invoice, up to a monthly limit you set yourself. Your dashboard shows exactly what you use, with an alert at 80%.

Two paths

A year from now: with or without Claudia.

Doing nothing is a choice too. Here's what each one looks like.

Without Claudia

You keep doing it yourself

  • Answering the same questions between customers every day: how much is it, are you open, is there room tomorrow.
  • A customer in the chair or your hands full, and the phone rings again. Whoever can't reach you tries the next business.
  • Messages wait for hours and only get answered when things quiet down.
  • Who asked what, and what was promised, lives on notes or in your head.
  • When it gets busier, the only fix is hiring someone extra.

With Claudia

Claudia takes it off your hands

  • Every customer gets an answer right away, even when you and your team are busy.
  • Appointments, orders and new customers land in your dashboard, with nothing to type over.
  • You see every conversation and take over whenever a customer needs you.
  • More messages don't mean more staff: one fixed amount a month.
  • You keep your time for the work you're good at.

Never miss a customer again. Let Claudia answer.

Send us a WhatsApp or talk to Claudia herself, and we'll talk about what she can do for your business.
