Testimonials

Real results from businesses like yours

"We used to miss 4-5 calls every weekend. Since Speak Lento, every single one gets answered. We booked 3 new clients in the first week."

James R.

Riverside Plumbing, Baltimore MD

"I was skeptical an AI could handle the sensitivity of funeral home calls. It's handled every call with complete professionalism. Families can't tell the difference."

Patricia M.

Heritage Funeral Home, Frederick MD

"My cleaning crew is always busy — we were losing leads left and right. Now the AI books them while we work. It paid for itself in week two."

FAQ

Everything you want to know

Real answers before you book a call.

Getting Started

We configure everything within 72 hours of your discovery call. Most clients are live answering real calls within 3 business days. We handle all setup — you just show up for a short onboarding call.

Zero. We handle all configuration, testing, calendar integration, and launch. All you do is answer a short onboarding call to tell us about your business. That's it.

We'll have a quick 20-minute call to learn about your business, answer your questions, and show you exactly what your AI receptionist will sound like. If it's a good fit, we start building immediately — and you're live within 72 hours.

The AI

Yes. Our AI uses natural voice technology with real pauses, inflection, and conversational flow. Most callers don't realize they're speaking to AI. Call (775) 764-6116 right now and hear it yourself.

The agent flags the call immediately and sends you a real-time text with the caller's name and reason. You can call them back within minutes. No lead gets left behind.

We configure it all during onboarding — holiday hours, emergency escalation, after-hours handling, call transfer rules, and any special scripts your industry requires.

We connect to your existing calendar (Google Calendar, Calendly, Cal.com, or others) and your AI books appointments directly during the call. You get a real-time text notification for every new booking.

In most cases, yes. We work as a call forwarding layer on your existing number — your number stays the same, but Speak Lento answers before it ever hits voicemail. We walk you through setup on the onboarding call.

Pricing & Contracts

Everything to get you live: custom AI voice & personality, full knowledge base buildout (your services, FAQs, call scripts), calendar integration, SMS follow-up setup, and complete testing before launch. Starting from $2,000 depending on complexity.

Ongoing AI monitoring, script updates as your business changes, performance reporting, and support. Starter is $297/mo (500 min). Growth is $497/mo (unlimited minutes, multi-location). No long-term contracts — month-to-month only.

Yes — month-to-month, no long-term contracts. We earn your business every single month. Cancel anytime with no hassle, no fees.

Comparisons

Traditional answering services use offshore agents reading generic scripts who know nothing about your business. Speak Lento's AI is trained specifically on your business — it handles objections, books appointments, and follows up automatically. No human answering service does all of that.

A full-time human receptionist costs $35,000–$45,000/year — and they still take lunch, call in sick, and go on vacation. Speak Lento's managed plan costs under $6,000/year and works 24/7, 365 days without a single day off.

Funeral homes, plumbing & HVAC, home cleaning, dental offices, med spas, law firms, home care agencies, veterinary clinics, and more. If your customers call before they book — we're a fit.
