Where we are

Calhoun, GA

We build every line with the owner, on a call with the people who write the agent. Setup happens on that call, so it works the same in Dalton as in Atlanta.

Your phone, over one day Calhoun, GA

An example day with the shop open from 7 AM to 6 PM. Forge answers before 7 AM and after 6 PM, and takes the calls you miss while you are open.

Set your own hours. Before and after them, and whenever you are busy, calls you send to Forge get answered.

Hours shown are an example. Lime is when Forge answers.
AI or people

What you get when an AI answers.

A traditional answering service puts a person from a call center on your line. They read a general script, type up a message and bill you by the minute or by the call. That works for plenty of businesses.

Forge Voice puts an AI agent on your line instead. It works from a script our team writes with you around your own services, your service area and what counts as urgent in your trade. It tells callers it is an AI assistant if they ask, and it never pretends to be a person.

On every call it takes the caller's name, number and what they need, and notes an appointment request for your team to confirm. Every call is recorded, so you can hear exactly what was said. Written summaries, live transfer to your cell for urgent calls and Spanish are set up by our team on request.

You pay a monthly plan with minutes included. Each call counts as at least 1 minute. We round each call up to the next full minute. See how it compares with voicemail and a call center.

English and Spanish

Questions

Questions North Georgia owners ask.

Do you only work with businesses in North Georgia?

No. Setup happens on a call with our team, so we build lines for businesses anywhere in the United States. We are based in Calhoun, Georgia, so North Georgia is home.

Can we meet in person?

If you are near Calhoun and would rather sit down than talk on the phone, ask when you call. The whole setup can also happen on one call.

Do I keep my phone number?

Yes. Forward your main line to the agent when you are busy or closed, or answer on a new number from us. Your callers do not have to learn anything new.

Will my callers know they are talking to an AI?

If a caller asks, the agent says it is an AI assistant for your business. We never tell it to pretend to be a person.

How does the free trial work?

Your first 7 days are free. They include up to 100 minutes of answered calls. If your trial goes past 100 minutes, we keep answering and never bill you for those minutes. You add a card to start. We do not charge it during the trial. When the trial ends, we charge your plan's monthly price, then on that date every month until you cancel. Cancel before the trial ends and you pay nothing.

How are minutes counted?

We count the time your agent is on each call. Each call counts as at least 1 minute. We round each call up to the next full minute. Unused minutes do not carry over to the next month.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There is no contract. Cancel online in your account, or email billing@forgedev.studio. Cancel during the free trial and you pay nothing. After that, your plan runs to the end of the month you paid for.
