Demo — AI phone receptionistLive

Your line answered — in your voice, not a robot's

Ring Gerty on a simulated call. Same stack members wire to a real business number — built in plain English, without an agency invoice.

Tap Call Gerty — hear the tone, then scroll for what you'd build. Headphones help; allow the mic when you answer.

What you just tried

What is this demo?

GertySystems lets you try a custom AI phone receptionist in your browser: ring, answer, and talk — no dialling a real number on this page. It uses the same voice stack members attach to their own business line: listen, think, speak, with rules you control. Built by a tattoo artist with zero IT background; membership teaches you to deploy it for your shop in plain English.

Why it matters

You're on a job. The phone rings. Again.

Missed calls are missed money — and most “AI receptionist” products sound like a call centre from 2004. You don't need another monthly tool that doesn't know your postcode, your prices, or when to shut up and pass you the handset.

You need your voice on your line — answering the boring stuff while you're hands deep in work. That's what the Business Front Desk track is for. This demo proves the conversation layer first.

After the call

Every demo is something you'll learn to build.

What you tried above is a preview — not a phone service we sell. If you want a line that answers like this for your trade, salon, clinic, or shop, membership shows you how to wire it up yourself.

01
Sounds like a person — not hold music
Customers hang up on robotic menus. Gerty holds a real conversation: FAQs, messages, booking when you wire the scope — in your tone, not a generic script.
02
Your number, your rules, your doc pack
Generic AI doesn't know your prices, areas, or what you never promise. Membership teaches you to ground voice in your business brain — then attach it to a real line.
03
Build it yourself — without agency money
Consultants often quote £8k–£25k for a chatbot you don't own. Liam's a tattoo artist from Sheffield with zero IT background. The course is the path he wished he'd had — plain English, proof first.

Honest maths

Build vs buy vs miss the call

Option	Typical reality
Miss it	Voicemail. Callback tag. Customer rings the next name on Google.
Rent a bot	Monthly fee, generic tone, per-minute surprises — you don't own the stack.
Hire an agency	Often £8k–£25k+ for something you can't fix at 9pm on a Sunday.
GertySystems	Learn to build and own it — plain English, live proof, first access via the waitlist.

Figures are typical bands, not guarantees — your setup and usage will vary.

For you if…

→You run a shop, trade, salon, clinic, or small team with no IT department
→You've thought “I need something on the phone when I'm on a job”
→You'll maintain a simple FAQ/doc pack — AI on chaos lies confidently
→You want one workflow working before you boil the ocean

Not for you if…

—You need enterprise procurement, SOC2, or a multi-tenant SaaS product
—You want AI to replace your whole team — we teach hybrid: routine vs human
—You won't spend time on one pilot workflow

Questions

Before you join the waitlist

Is there a real phone number on this page?: No. This is a simulated call in your browser — try the conversation without dialling a real number. Sessions are kept short so the demo stays fair for everyone. In membership you connect the same stack to your own business number.
How does AI phone answering work for a small business?: Someone calls your number. Speech-to-text captures what they say. An LLM decides the reply — short, because it's voice. Text-to-speech speaks back in your chosen voice. You set rules: what to book, what to escalate, what never to promise. GertySystems teaches you to build and own that pipeline — not rent a generic receptionist you can't fix.
Do I need to be a developer or coder?: You'll learn to make AI work for you — not become a developer. You follow steps and make business decisions while Liam's workflow directs AI to build. Individual membership covers the foundation; Business membership adds customer-facing phone and chat.
How is this different from ChatGPT or an AI receptionist subscription?: ChatGPT is a general tab. Receptionist SaaS is rented, generic, and often per-minute. Here you build something that knows your docs and sounds like your shop — on infrastructure you understand. This demo is the receipt; the course hands you the keys.
What does membership cost?: Individual is £19.99/month (full curriculum + toolbox). Business adds the Front Desk track (chat, phone, docs, one paying workflow) at £49.99/month. Limited initial membership opens soon — join the waitlist for first access. See pricing for the honest feature list — no fake urgency.

How the stack works (technical)+

You've heard her answer. Here's how the voice stack works — and how it becomes a real receptionist on your own number.

The four moving parts

Listen — speech-to-text turns what the caller says into words.
Think — the model picks a short reply, because a phone call is a conversation, not an essay.
Speak — text-to-speech answers back in Gerty's voice (pick one, or clone your own in the course).
Your rules — what she can book, what she must hand to a human, what she must never promise.

This page vs a real phone line

	This demo	What you build in the course
Number	Simulated — browser only	Your real business number
Knowledge	Showroom personality	Your prices, services, and area
Limits	Short demo session	Caps and handoff rules you set
Ownership	A preview on this site	Your stack, your choices

Where this lives in the course

The Business track walks you through wiring this conversation layer to a real line — usually once you've nailed your brand voice and a solid FAQ. (See the business path.)

It's hybrid by design: Gerty handles the routine calls; you take whatever needs a human. We don't sell "sack your staff" — we sell "stop missing the call when you're hands-deep in a job."
