FlintCrew

Other AI receptionists say “you’re booked.” FlintCrew checks.

Every call answered. Then the result is checked against the real record.

When Hailey books a job, cancels one, changes an address or takes a message, FlintCrew looks in the real system itself instead of taking the AI’s word for it, and seals every check in a tamper-proof record you can verify yourself. Customer details are swapped for placeholders before the AI that runs the call reads them. Don’t run an AI receptionist on trust.

Verified, not promised

What goes wrong without it. What FlintCrew does instead.

An AI receptionist that sounds right is not the same as one that did the job. These are the failures we built FlintCrew to catch.

❌ An AI receptionist on trust
✓ With FlintCrew
“You’re booked.”The calendar write failed. Nobody knows until the customer is waiting for a tech who was never sent.
Your calendar is checked.FlintCrew opens your Google Calendar itself, read-only, and looks for the job. If it isn’t there, the check comes back ✗, not ✓.
“That’s cancelled.”The appointment is still on the books.
The cancellation is checked.FlintCrew reads the appointment record itself and checks it really is cancelled.
“Got your new address.”The old one is still saved, and the tech drives to the wrong house.
The address is checked.FlintCrew checks the address actually saved is the one the caller gave.
“I’ll pass that on.”The message was never stored.
The message is checked.FlintCrew checks the message was actually saved.
“Trust us.”A log the vendor could quietly change.
A sealed, tamper-proof record.Every check is sealed into a signed chain. Change, remove or reorder one entry and the chain breaks, and you can check it yourself: ask us for the free checker, a short standalone program you can read in full.
Your customers’ details, as spoken.Names, addresses and phone numbers go to the AI model that decides what to do.
Placeholders, not people.The AI that runs the call reads placeholders instead of the names, addresses and phone numbers we detect.
A caller talks the AI into something.Clever phrasing becomes a booking or a message nobody should have acted on.
Screened before it acts.Before a booking or a message goes through, the caller’s words are screened for manipulation, and a flagged request is refused.
An invented price or promise.The AI writes its own answer and says something you never offered.
Fixed, written lines.Hailey speaks set lines filled in with the caller’s details. She does not write her own.

You should not run an AI receptionist without this.

What FlintCrew checks today: bookings, cancellations, address changes and messages. It does not yet check emergency texts, customer confirmation texts or text-message consent; we will add each one here when it does. Detection of customer details is best-effort: a detail we do not recognise is not replaced. A sealed chain cannot by itself show entries cut off the end; keep a seal you saw earlier and the checker catches that too.

How It Works

Hailey runs your front desk. You run your business.

No scripts to write. No training. Hailey knows HVAC, plumbing and electrical out of the box — hours, services, and what counts as an emergency. More trades are rolling out; tell us yours and we’ll set you up by hand meanwhile.

1

Call Comes In

Hailey picks up in under 3 seconds, 24/7. No busy signals, no voicemail. Your customer always reaches a live voice.

2

Hailey Qualifies

What broke, where, how urgent. She works out whether this is a real emergency or a Tuesday appointment.

3

A Real Person Is Paged

If your on-call tech isn’t answering, a real FlintCrew person is paged the moment the ladder stalls. Nothing sits in a queue waiting to be noticed. Hailey does not transfer live calls.

4

Tech Dispatched — and Chased

Your on-call tech gets a text with the address, the issue and the callback number. No reply? We escalate, then call them. The customer gets a confirmation either way, and the whole chain is written down.

2am Emergency Call

The Comparison That Matters

You are not choosing between us and voicemail.

You are choosing between us and a person. That is the honest comparison, because a person is what we replace: we answer, book and get the tech chased down, and page one of our people if the ladder stalls.

A hired receptionist

$3,750–$4,600/mo

Salary, payroll tax and benefits, all-in. Answers during business hours. Takes holidays. Does not chase an on-call tech at 2am.

A human answering service

$179–$649/mo

Takes a message and passes it on. No booking into your calendar, no escalation ladder, and no record of what was decided.

FlintCrew

$49.99–$199.99/mo

Answers, qualifies, books (on the $199.99 plan), dispatches, escalates when nobody replies, and pages a real person if the ladder stalls. Every call written down.

Governance, included

FlintCrew checks what Hailey does before it happens, and checks the result after.

FlintCrew is our AI governance gateway. When Hailey books a job, cancels one, changes an address or takes a message, the request goes through FlintCrew. It comes with both plans.

Customer details are protected

Names, phone numbers and addresses are swapped for placeholders before the AI that runs the call reads them. The real details are put back only where they are needed, such as the booking itself.

Each action is checked

Bookings and messages are screened for manipulation before they run, and every action is checked against the list of actions Hailey is allowed to take. If it fails, it is refused.

The result is checked

After a booking, a cancellation, an address change or a message, FlintCrew looks in the real record itself. A check that fails comes back ✗, not ✓.

Everything is written down

What was asked, what was protected and what was refused are recorded for each action, and every check’s result is sealed into a tamper-proof record, so there is something to show when someone asks what your AI did.

Today FlintCrew governs Hailey. It does not yet cover other AI tools in your business, such as ChatGPT or Copilot.

Every Monday Morning

Proof it worked. Not a promise that it will.

Plain English, no jargon. How many calls were handled, how many got a tech dispatched, and what was escalated and why. It arrives whether the week was good or bad — a report you only get when things go well is not a record, it is marketing.

Calls handled

Every call Hailey answered, what she did with it, and which ones needed a human.

Dispatches & escalations

Who was texted, who answered, who did not, and what happened when they did not.

What it does not count yet

Redactions and blocked requests. Caller names, addresses and phone numbers are replaced before a model reads them, but the report carries no figure for that, because we do not publish a number we have not measured.

Show it to your insurer. Show it to a customer who asks. It is your documentation, not ours.

Who You’re Buying From

Built on Flint values.

FlintCrew takes its name from where we come from — Flint, Michigan, and the people there: the kind of place where showing up and doing the work isn’t a virtue, it’s just what you do.

We’re based in North Carolina and we’re small on purpose. Every FlintCrew customer gets a direct line to the people running the system. No support tickets. No call centre. We own the process and we own the outcome.

“Show up. Do the work. Help people.”

That’s not a slogan. It’s the standard we hold ourselves to when a call goes wrong at 2am.

Questions

Straight answers.

No. Hailey uses natural voice AI — most callers don't realize they're not talking to a person. Call +1 (984) 238-4018 right now and hear for yourself before you sign up.
Google Calendar is built in. We can integrate with Jobber, Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan and other tools, but those integrations are not live today — they are next on our list. We don't require any specific field service platform.
Before the AI that runs the conversation reads anything, Hailey replaces the names, addresses, and phone numbers she detects with placeholders. Before she books a job or takes a message, the pipeline also screens for prompt injection attacks — attempts to manipulate your AI receptionist through clever phrasing. Every action Hailey takes is checked against the list of actions she is allowed to perform. All of this is logged in an audit trail. You can pull up a plain-English proof report any time.
Hailey knows her limits. For anything outside her approved scope — an unusual situation, an upset customer, a complex bid — she takes a detailed message with full context for you to call back. She does not transfer live calls. She never makes up answers or handles things she wasn't trained for.
Most shops are live within 48 hours. We handle setup with you — no IT department required. You tell us your service area, on-call schedule, and dispatch rules. We do the rest.
Today it covers Hailey. When she books, cancels, changes an address or takes a message, the request goes through FlintCrew, which protects customer details, checks the action and keeps a record. It is included with both plans at no extra charge for now. It does not yet cover other AI tools in your business, such as ChatGPT or Copilot.
No annual contracts. Month-to-month. Cancel any time. We're confident enough in the product that we don't need to lock you in.

Security Pipeline

The AI that runs your calls works from placeholders, not your customers’ details.

FlintCrew replaces names, addresses and phone numbers with placeholders before the AI that runs the conversation reads them — and gives you a plain-English weekly report of what happened on your calls. The report does not yet count what was redacted or blocked.

What Actually Runs

Seven layers. Real time.

Built by engineers who've seen what happens when AI goes wrong.

L1

PII Detection & Placeholders Always On

Before the AI that runs the conversation reads anything, the transcript runs through Microsoft Presidio — an industry-standard NER (name recognition) engine. Names, addresses and phone numbers it finds are replaced with placeholders, so that AI works from "{{PERSON}} at {{ADDRESS}}", not the real details. If that step can't run, Hailey skips the AI for that turn rather than send it anything. Detection is best-effort: a detail the engine does not recognise is not replaced. The real details are kept on our side so Hailey can read them back and book the job, and they are stored securely. When a booking or message is screened for manipulation (L3 and L4), the screening models read the request with the names and addresses we detected replaced by placeholder words. Anything we did not detect is read as given. An appointment lookup or an address change does not go through this route yet. Where those requests are screened, the screening model reads the request as the caller gave it. A lookup by phone number alone is not screened for manipulation.

L2

Threat Pattern Detection Bookings & Messages

When Hailey is about to act on something a caller said — a booking, a non-emergency message — those words are compared against a live database of known AI attack patterns — sourced from OWASP, Lakera, and Anthropic security research and checked for new entries by a scheduled daily job. If the input matches a known prompt injection technique or jailbreak attempt, the action is refused before it runs. Emergency dispatches are never held up by this check. The database covers known attack vectors, not new ones nobody has published.

L3

Prompt-Injection Screening Bookings & Messages

When Hailey is about to act on something a caller said — booking an appointment, taking a message — the caller's words are screened by an AI safety model for prompt injection, jailbreak, and data-exfiltration attempts before the action runs. A flagged request is refused and recorded instead of carried out. If the screen itself can't run, the request is rejected rather than waved through.

L4

Semantic Intent Analysis Bookings & Messages

A second AI model scores the same request on a 0–1 scale for manipulation intent — separate from the injection screen. Where that screen asks "is this an attack on the AI?" this layer asks "is this caller trying to manipulate the AI?" A score of 0.7 or higher blocks the action.

L5

Tool Authorization Always On

Every action Hailey takes — booking an appointment, dispatching a tech, taking a message — is checked against the fixed list of actions she is allowed to perform before it runs. An action outside that list is refused and recorded. This check does not compare the action with what the caller asked for.

L6

Spoken-Line Guard Always On

Hailey's lines are fixed wording filled in with the caller's own details, not text an AI writes freely. The last step before a line is spoken checks it for a leftover placeholder: if one is there, the line is not spoken and Hailey asks the caller to repeat instead, so nobody hears a code word. This guard checks for placeholders only. It does not review a line for other content.

L7

Audit Trail Always On

Each call is recorded turn by turn as it happens: what the caller said, what Hailey said, and the actions she took, with names, addresses and phone numbers replaced by placeholders. Actions that go through FlintCrew get a second record there, including the ones it refused. The recording runs in the background so it can never slow a caller down, which also means a turn can be missed if the recorder fails. It is a working record, not a guarantee of every line. Every Monday you get a proof report by email: what Hailey did that week, in plain numbers. It does not count redactions or blocked requests. No jargon. No tech degree required. If you ever need to show a customer, insurer, attorney, or regulator what happened on a call, this record is what we pull.

Sample Proof Report

Every week, proof — not a promise.

Your proof report tells you what Hailey did with the week's calls. It arrives by email every Monday. The figures below are an example, not a customer's.

Sample Proof Report — Week of June 16
31
Appointments booked
2
Emergencies dispatched
5
Calls passed to a person
3
Callers who left before getting what they came for
6
Calls where no one spoke

A line with nothing to report is left out, and a week with no calls gets one sentence, not a grid of zeros. If we could not produce a figure, the report says so instead of showing a zero. It is a short email with no attachment, and it does not report on redaction or blocked requests.

Your customers trusted you with their home address.

So we are precise about who sees it. The AI that runs the conversation works from placeholders — the names, addresses and phone numbers Hailey detects are replaced before it reads a word, and if that step can’t run, Hailey skips it for that turn rather than send it anything. We do see it, and so does your tech: that is how somebody gets to the door. The difference is that every time it happens it is written down and scoped to your business alone.
