Hear it for yourself
Call (980) 222-1163
The AI assistant picks up in Jesse's voice and tells you it's an assistant, not him. Ask it about the business, have it book a real time on his calendar, or leave a message. It is the same assistant he builds for local businesses.
Story ideas
The angles
An assistant in his own voice
Jesse trained an AI phone assistant on his own voice. It answers his business line, books real callbacks on his calendar, takes messages and puts urgent calls through. Call (980) 222-1163 and try it.
One person, no templates
Every site is built from a blank file by the person who answers the phone. The work runs from a fill dirt pit in Maiden to a pizza shop in Cork, Ireland.
What local businesses miss
Calls that go to voicemail after hours, and websites the AI assistants people ask can't read. Jesse runs a free website check and talks plainly about what to fix first.
