Julie picks up before your phone goes to voicemail, answers your customers’ questions, checks your calendar and books the appointment — while you get on with the job.
Set up and managed for you · Keep your existing number · Month-to-month after a 3-month minimum
How it works
Add your hours, services, prices and common questions — or point it at your website and it learns from there.
Link Google Calendar or Outlook so Julie can see when you’re free and book straight into open slots.
Keep your number. Calls you can’t take ring through to Julie instead of voicemail — after hours, or all the time.
What it does
Picks up in seconds, day or night, with a natural voice and your business’s greeting.
Answers questions about hours, pricing, services and location using what you’ve taught it.
Checks your live availability during the call and books the slot — no back-and-forth, no double bookings.
Sends emergencies or VIP callers straight to you or your team, with a quick heads-up on who’s calling.
Get the caller’s name, number and what they need the moment the call ends, plus a full transcript.
Robocalls and cold pitches get politely ended so only real customers reach you.
Recognises people who’ve called before, so regulars don’t have to repeat themselves.
Sends callers a booking link, directions or a confirmation by text before they hang up.
Answers in English, Spanish and more, and switches when the caller does.

Pricing
Our fee covers setup, connecting your calendar and tools, and managing Julie day to day. Julie runs on Upfirst, an AI answering platform: you hold your own Upfirst plan and pay it directly, so there’s no hidden markup on your calls.
Founding offer: our first 3 clients get setup free and their first month of our fee at half price, in exchange for a short testimonial.
Extra staff calendar: $49 one-time setup + $20/month. Extra automation: from $150 to build + $25/month.
Calls over your plan’s limit are billed by Upfirst at $0.70–$1.00 each, depending on plan. Upfirst prices as of October 2026.
More than 600 calls a month, or need HIPAA compliance? Talk to us about a custom plan.
No. You keep your number and simply forward calls to Julie — all of them, only the ones you miss, or only after hours.
You connect your calendar once. During each call Julie checks your open times and only offers slots that are genuinely free.
You decide. Julie can transfer the call to you or take a detailed message so you can call back.
Most businesses are live within 3 to 5 days. We train Julie on your business, connect your calendar, set up call forwarding, and test it with you before it answers a real customer.
Julie is powered by Upfirst, an AI answering platform. You own your Upfirst account and pay its plan directly. We’re added to your account as a teammate so we can set it up and manage it for you, and you can remove our access at any time.
Extra calls are billed by Upfirst at a per-call rate. Spam calls and very short calls aren’t counted. If you’re regularly going over, we’ll let you know whether moving up a plan would save you money.
Month-to-month after a 3-month minimum. After that, cancel any time with 30 days’ notice.
