An AI receptionist picks up the moment a project call goes unanswered, and the chat answers questions on your site. Your firm enters the RFP conversation first — before the other firms even know the project exists. No voicemail. No cold callbacks. First contact is yours.
Architecture firms that respond quickly win far more projects than those that wait a day.
Why architecture firms lose projects before the RFP
In a competitive RFP, whoever responds first gets to frame the conversation. They establish the project scope, the timeline expectations, and the fee structure. The firms that respond later are always playing catch-up.
Architecture firms that respond to inquiries quickly win far more projects than those that wait a day. A big residential project going to voicemail is unlikely to call back.
A developer evaluating firms for a commercial project does their research at 9pm on a Tuesday. If your website can't respond to an after-hours inquiry, you're invisible when the shortlist is being built.
Architecture is a referral business. When a past client refers you and you don't respond promptly, the damage isn't just the lost project — it's the trust the referrer placed in your name.
How it works
You're heads-down on drawings, in a client meeting, or on a site visit. The call goes to voicemail. The prospect is interviewing several firms and you just went to the back of the line.
On the Front Office plan, the AI receptionist answers the line you forward to it, says it's an AI, and takes the caller's name, number and what the project is. The conversation starts before they hear back from the other firms.
Their name, number and project details arrive in a summary email that flags the opportunity. You follow up on high-value leads first and enter every RFP having already established the relationship.
Front Office plans
Every plan is $297 to set up, then monthly. Month-to-month, cancel any time. Buy online, fill out one form, and see your preview within 5 business days. No sales call.
What the receptionist doesn't do: it doesn't book appointments, quote prices or connect to calendars or CRMs. It takes the caller's details so you can call back.
Cancelling and refunds:cancel any time and you aren't billed again; there are no partial-month refunds. The setup fee is returned only if you cancel before you submit the intake form. If we don't deliver what the terms describe, tell us within 30 days of the charge and we fix it, or refund the affected charge if we can't. Read the refund policy and plan terms before you buy.

Yes. We build the chatbot with your specific practice areas — residential renovations, commercial builds, institutional projects, interior architecture. It qualifies inquiries with the right questions for each project type and routes them accordingly.
The chatbot itself doesn't have a live data connection into Monograph, ArchiSnapper, or Deltek, so nothing syncs automatically — every lead is captured and emailed to you as a thread, so you can log it into whichever system you're already running.
Front Office includes building you a new website (up to 5 pages) with the chatbot built in, so we replace your current site rather than add onto it. The AI receptionist works with your existing number: you forward calls to it and keep your number.
Month-to-month with no long-term contract. Cancel any time.
Yes — we build it with your portfolio highlights, fee structure, typical project timeline, and intake process during onboarding. Prospects get substantive answers about your firm, not generic placeholders that make you look like every other architecture website.
Your website, AI chat and AI receptionist, built for you. Month-to-month, cancel any time.

No slideshow, no actor. A screen recording of our own assistant handling the two questions every owner asks: what happens to the 9pm call I miss, and will it invent things about my business.
Real answers from our live demo bot — unscripted, recorded on this site.
Visitor: I run an HVAC company. A customer calls at 9pm and I can't pick up — what happens?
Anchor Co AI: Right now? They hit voicemail and you've lost them to whoever picks up first. With our chatbot, they hit your website at 9pm, ask “Do you do emergency service?” or “Are you licensed in my county?” — and get an instant answer. The bot captures their name, number, and address. You wake up to a lead instead of a missed call. That's the whole thing: your customers get answers 24/7, you only deal with the calls that actually need you, and you're not losing jobs to competitors who answer faster. Since you're in HVAC, the bot can handle all the common questions — licensing by county, service area, whether you do emergency calls, minimum job size, how long estimates take. You train it on your website in about 10 minutes, and it goes live in an afternoon. Want to try it? You can start free at anchorcoai.com/signup — no credit card required. Test it on your actual website for 14 days and see if it captures leads you would've missed.
Visitor: Will it make stuff up about my business?
Anchor Co AI: No. The bot only answers from what you've given it — your website content, your FAQs, pricing, service areas, whatever you add. If a question falls outside that (something the bot doesn't know), it's honest about it. Instead of guessing, it says “I don't have that info” and asks for their name and contact details so you can follow up personally. It won't make up licensing claims, pricing, or service details. That's the safeguard. Your bot is only as smart as the information you feed it — which means you stay in control of what it says about your business. Honestly the easiest way to see if it works for your business is to just try it. Free plan, no card. anchorcoai.com/signup
