Your phone rings.
You're under a sink.
She answers anyway.
Star Answering runs your whole front desk — answers every call day and night, books the job, chases the unpaid invoice, even screens your next hire. Everything a salaried desk does, from $99 a month. You get your hours back.
A missed call isn't a missed call. It's a booked job — for a competitor.
The meter is what unanswered calls cost, ticking by the second. The sliders are your version of it — set them to your week and see what walks out the door every month.
Forwarding takes minutes. She's live in days.
No new number, no hardware, nothing for your customers to learn. Three steps — and two of them are ours.
Forward your calls
Keep the number your customers already know. Forward everything, or only the calls you miss — your phone, your rules.

Dial once from your business phone — done.

She answers & books
Picks up in under three seconds, sounds like your best front desk, and books the job into a calendar that can't double-book.

Answers, 24/7
Picks up in under three seconds — sounds human, never rushed, never a menu.
Books the job
Knows your hours, services, and rules — schedules the visit into a calendar that can't double-book.
Takes the message
Name, number, address, and what they need — texted to you before they hang up.
Blocks the spam
Recognizes robocalls and telemarketers and ends them — your lead list stays clean.
Chases the invoiceadd-on
Polite, persistent reminders from your business name until the bill is settled — you stop being the bad guy.
Screens your hiresadd-on
Applicants call a dedicated line, get interviewed and scored — you only talk to the good ones.
The first four come with every plan. The add-ons bolt on when you want the whole desk — or come included with Autopilot.
She's on shift right now.
Call her right now. Try to stump her.
Yes, she's AI. If your customers could tell, we wouldn't give you the number.
No cherry-picked recordings on this page. The line is live around the clock — dial it, ask what a customer would ask you, and grade her yourself. Hardest graders welcome.
Every plan starts with 14 days free, so the second test is even easier: let her answer your phone for two weeks.
Whatever the call is, she handles it — illustrative exchanges, not recordings
“My water heater's leaking all over the basement floor.”
Stella: “That can't wait — I'm flagging it as an emergency. What's the address, and is the water shutoff accessible?”
“The AC died and it's 95 out. How soon can someone come?”
Stella: “I have tomorrow at 9 AM open — want me to lock that in and text you the confirmation?”
“Half the outlets in my kitchen just stopped working.”
Stella: “Let's get an electrician out Thursday morning. Does 10 AM work? I'll note which outlets are dead.”
“There's water coming through my bedroom ceiling.”
Stella: “I'll mark this urgent and book an inspection — are you home tomorrow afternoon, say 1 to 3?”
“I need to talk to someone about a car accident last week.”
Stella: “I'm sorry that happened. Let me take a few details so the attorney can call you back today.”
“Can I get a balayage with Jess this Saturday?”
Stella: “Jess has 11 AM or 2:30 PM on Saturday — which works better for you?”
While you work the job, she works the phone.

A front desk does more than answer.
Stop interviewing people who never show.
A dedicated hiring line for your job posts. Applicants call, she interviews them, scores them, and ranks them — you only talk to the good ones.
Bolts onto any plan
The invoice chaser you never wanted to be.
Polite, persistent follow-up on unpaid invoices — from your business name, not a collection agency — until the bill is settled.
Bolts onto any plan

Straight answers before you talk to us.
Is it a robot?
Yes — Stella is software, not a person, and we won't pretend otherwise. Here's why your customers won't hang up: she picks up in under three seconds, knows your services and prices, and books the job instead of taking a maybe-message. Don't take it from us — call (631) 519-8054 and judge for yourself.
What if she can't answer something?
She never dead-ends a caller. If a question is outside what she knows — a custom quote, a one-off situation — she takes a complete message (name, number, and exactly what they need), flags it urgent if it is, and it lands in your app instantly. You call back knowing exactly what the job is.
¿Habla español?
Sí. When a caller speaks Spanish, she carries the whole call in Spanish — booking, message, everything — and your app still shows it to you in plain English. Bilingual coverage, no extra hire, included on every plan.
What counts as a minute?
Talk time while Stella is on a live call, billed in 30-second increments. Ring time and hold time don't count against your minutes.
Do I keep my current number?
Yes. Calls forward to Stella when you can't pick up — your customers keep dialing the number they already know.
Can I change plans anytime?
Yes — upgrade or downgrade whenever your call volume changes. No long-term contract, cancel anytime.
How fast can it go live?
Days, not months. We set up your hours, services, and emergency rules with you — and you hear Stella take calls before you pay a dime.
