What Is Calltide and How Does Maria Work?

Calltide is an AI-powered receptionist service for home service businesses. Instead of missing calls or paying someone to answer the phone, Maria—our AI receptionist—handles incoming calls 24/7, even when you're on a job site or helping customers.

How Maria Works

Maria is not a robotic phone menu. She sounds like a real person and has natural conversations with your callers.

What Maria Does

• Answers calls immediately — No voicemail jail, no waiting on hold
• Books appointments — Maria checks your calendar and schedules jobs directly
• Sends confirmations — SMS texts go to customers immediately after booking
• Detects emergencies — Urgent calls alert you right away
• Takes messages — If you're unavailable, Maria takes detailed notes
• Handles both languages — English and Spanish, automatically

Your Business Profile Powers Maria

Maria learns from the information you provide:

• Your services and pricing
• Your hours of operation
• Your service area
• Common customer questions (FAQs)
