While you're behind the camera, your AI receptionist answers package questions and captures session requests — so you never lose a client to a studio that picked up the phone first.
Holiday portrait season, prom, and graduation weeks flood your inbox with booking requests right when you're busiest on shoots — and slow responses lose clients to studios that reply quickly.
Prospective clients want to know exactly what's included, how many edited images, turnaround time, and pricing before they book — questions that eat up your time if handled manually.
A portrait session means missed calls the whole time you're shooting. Many won't leave a voicemail — they just move on to the next studio on their list.
When a potential client reaches out through the chat on your website or by phone, the AI explains your portrait, headshot, family, and event packages, including what's included, print products, digital delivery, and turnaround times.
The AI asks clients for their preferred session dates and times and captures the details. You get the request emailed to you, ready for you to confirm.
Clients share their preferred time and details right in the conversation — all while you're focused on the client in front of your lens. You get the full request emailed to you so you can confirm it on your own calendar.
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.
Sold and supported by Anchor Co Media, our sister brand. Payment is handled by Stripe.
Yes. We train the AI on every session type you offer, with its own package details. Clients asking about corporate headshots get different information than families booking holiday portraits.
On the Front Office plan you forward your calls to the AI receptionist. It tells the caller it's an AI, takes their name, number and what they need, and emails you a summary after the call, so you can call back and confirm the session yourself.
The chatbot does not have a live sync into HoneyBook, Studio Ninja, Táve, or other studio management platforms. Bookings and lead info are captured and emailed to you, so you can add them to your existing workflow.
Every missed call during a shoot is a session that booked somewhere else. Let your AI capture every inquiry while you focus on creating work you love.

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
