After-hours call answering
Step away without losing the next call.
When the workday ends or you are tied up with the job in front of you, route calls to Conductor. If an office manager calls about cleaning a 2,400-square-foot space twice a week, Conductor sends an immediate text summary with the details so you can decide whether to arrange a walkthrough.
Choose Conductor when you want calls you route after hours answered and summarized before deciding which callbacks to make.
100 calls and texts free. No credit card required.
Spots open a few at a time; apply in about 30 seconds and Conductor texts your invite when yours is ready.
When the workday ends
Close the day with the next call covered.
Conductor keeps the first conversation moving when you are away from the phone, then hands the decision back to you.
02 · Understand
Let the caller explain
Conductor answers in a natural voice and asks follow-up questions about what the caller needs.
03 · Hand off
