We would rather tell you that than have you sign up for the wrong thing and cancel in a fortnight.

Where Spark is different

Every AI receptionist answers the phone. Spark is the only one you give a goal to.

You write one sentence about what a good week looks like — “keep my Tuesdays full”, “get five more bathroom jobs a month” — and that becomes its north star. It reads your customer list, works out what would actually move that number, and starts on it.

It chases what went quietThe quote you sent six weeks ago gets a follow-up written for that person, not a template.
It runs your campaignsEmail, SMS and social posts, written in your voice and sent to the right group.
It watches the weekWeather, holidays, reviews, customers going quiet. It speaks up when something matters.
It earns its ropeAsks about everything at first. Once you have approved twenty in a row it asks to stop asking.
