Built for seamstresses & alterations shops

Alterations missed-call recovery — so you don't lose the bridal job.

You can't answer a call mid-fitting with pins in your hands. Our AI receptionist picks up the calls you miss — so bridal alterations and formal-wear leads stay warm while you finish with the client in front of you.

Alterations shops miss calls during busy fittings — and a single missed bridal inquiry can mean losing the gown, bridesmaids, and mother-of-the-bride all in one.

Why alterations shops lose their highest-value clients

Brides don't call twice. Prom season doesn't wait.

You're mid-fitting — the phone rings and you can't drop the pins

A bride calls to get her wedding gown altered. You're deep in a fitting, hands full, can't answer. She calls the next alterations shop in town and that job is gone — often a solid chunk of bridal work.

Bridal alterations have a hard deadline — and brides panic fast

A bride with a wedding in six weeks doesn't call twice. If she doesn't hear back quickly, she moves on. Missing that one call can mean losing the entire bridal party.

Prom and wedding seasons mean your busiest days are when you miss the most calls

April through June, you're booked solid with fittings. That's also when every other call is a high-value prom or wedding job. Peak season is when missed calls cost you the most.

After-hours inquiries go unanswered and the lead goes cold overnight

A customer finds you on Google at 9pm, calls, gets voicemail, and starts fresh with another shop in the morning. An AI receptionist answering at 9pm keeps the lead alive until you open.

How it works

Three steps. Fully automatic.

1

Call comes in during a fitting or while you're at your machine

Can't answer. The bride or customer is about to move on to the next alterations shop on their list.

2

The AI receptionist picks up

On the Front Office plan you forward calls to it and keep your number. It says it's an AI, asks what they'd like altered and when they need it, and takes their name and number. The call is answered before they dial the next number.

3

Job details land in your inbox

You get an emailed summary with their name, number and what they need. You see it when the fitting wraps and call back the bridal and time-sensitive jobs first.

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.

Questions alterations shops ask us.

Can the chatbot handle questions about turnaround times?

Yes. We train the chatbot on your specific services — hem lengths, zipper replacements, bridal alterations, formal wear, leather work — and your typical turnaround times. It answers common questions and captures the lead so you can follow up with a quote.

What about bridal inquiries — those are complicated. Can the chatbot handle them?

The chatbot takes the key info the visitor shares: gown style, wedding date, what alterations are needed. It doesn't quote complex bridal work — it gets the details to you so you can give an accurate quote when you call back. That's faster than playing phone tag.

I work alone — is this system easy to manage?

That's exactly who it's built for. Solo seamstresses and small alterations shops. We build it for you from an intake form. After that, it runs on its own — the receptionist picks up forwarded calls, leads land in your inbox, you respond when you have a free moment.

What does it cost?

One plan, Front Office: $297 one-time setup, then $99/month for the website, $179 with the AI chat, or $249 with the AI receptionist too (300 answered minutes a month, no overage fees). Month-to-month, cancel any time.

Is there a contract?

No. Month-to-month, cancel any time, no partial-month refunds.

Bridal season comes once a year.
Don't miss a call of it.

$297 one-time setup, then month-to-month from $99. Cancel any time.

This is the bot answering a real contractor's questions.

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
