Solution
AI after-hours call handling — every call answered, every lead captured, every emergency escalated.
40% of inbound calls happen after 5pm. Voicemail loses 80% of those callers forever. Talos builds AI voice agents that answer every after-hours call, qualify the caller, book appointments, and escalate true emergencies — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
An AI after-hours voice agent answers every call between 6pm and 8am, weekends, and holidays — qualifying the caller, booking real appointments on your calendar, and escalating true emergencies — so you never lose another night-time lead to voicemail.
If your business goes dark after 5pm…
Home services & contractors
HVAC failures, plumbing emergencies, and roofing damage happen at night. Homeowners call whoever answers first.
Medical & dental practices
Patients with urgent questions or new patient inquiries don't wait until 9am — they go to whoever is available.
Law firms
People call for consultations when they have time — evening and weekend calls are some of your highest-intent leads.
Real estate agents
Buyers are searching online at 8pm. When they call about a listing, whoever answers first gets the showing.
What AI after-hours call handling covers
24/7 call answering
AI answers every call in your brand voice — evenings, weekends, holidays — as if your best employee picked up.
Lead qualification
AI collects name, number, service needed, and urgency level — every call logged with full context for your team to review in the morning.
Appointment booking
Callers who are ready to book get an appointment confirmed before hanging up — no callback required.
Emergency escalation
True emergencies route to your on-call team immediately via call or SMS — configured to your definition of emergency.
Bilingual support
English and Spanish with automatic language detection — every caller served in their preferred language.
CRM logging
Every after-hours call logged with transcript, caller info, and call outcome — your team wakes up to a full picture.
What happens to your after-hours calls right now vs. with AI
Without AI after-hours handling
- 40% of your calls go to voicemail after 5pm — most callers don't leave a message
- Emergency callers can't reach anyone — they find a competitor who answers
- You arrive Monday morning with no record of who called over the weekend
- After-hours leads generated by your ad spend cost you $50–$200 each — and they're being wasted
With Talos after-hours AI
- 100% of calls answered — every caller gets a live response and a next step
- Emergencies escalated immediately — your on-call team only handles true urgencies
- Monday morning briefing: every after-hours call, caller info, and outcome ready to review
- Every dollar of ad spend generates a captured lead — not a voicemail that never gets heard
