CallHush is an AI phone answering service for small businesses. When you can't answer the phone, our AI assistant Lexi picks up, has a natural conversation with the caller, collects their name, phone number, reason for calling, and urgency level, then emails you a structured summary. It costs $49/month for 100 calls.

How does CallHush work?

Sign up and describe your business in 2-3 sentences. You get a dedicated phone number. Forward your calls to it. When someone calls, Lexi answers with your business name, collects the caller's details, and emails you a summary within seconds. Setup takes under 2 minutes.

How much does CallHush cost?

CallHush costs $49 per month for 100 calls, with each call up to 3 minutes. Need more? Add call packs starting at $9.99 for 25 extra calls. Cancel anytime, no contracts. For comparison, a human receptionist costs $3,300+/month and virtual receptionist services start at $200+/month for just 30-50 calls.

What industries does CallHush work for?

CallHush works for any small business that misses phone calls: plumbers, electricians, HVAC contractors, hair salons, nail salons, law firms, dental offices, auto repair shops, real estate agents, and general contractors. Any business where missed calls mean lost revenue.

Is CallHush better than voicemail?

Yes. 80% of callers don't leave voicemails - they hang up and call a competitor. CallHush's AI actually answers the phone, has a conversation, and captures the caller's details. You get a structured email summary instead of a garbled voicemail message.

What CallHush email summaries look like (5 real examples)

Every AI answering service talks about "call summaries." But what do they actually look like? Most services bury this behind a demo request or free trial signup.

Here are 5 real email summaries from different industries. This is exactly what lands in your inbox after CallHush handles a call.

1. Plumber - emergency leak

A homeowner calls about water pooling under the kitchen sink. It's been getting worse for the past hour. This is the most common type of plumbing call - and the most valuable.

New Call - Martinez Plumbing

via CallHush · 2:14 PM

CallerSarah Johnson

Phone(512) 555-0187

ReasonWater leaking under kitchen sink, pooling on the floor. Has been getting worse for an hour. Turned off valve under sink but still dripping slowly.

UrgencyHIGH

Duration1:34

Why it matters: The plumber sees HIGH urgency, knows the valve is off (so it's not an absolute emergency), and can call back with context. No guessing, no listening to a voicemail.

2. HVAC - AC not cooling

Peak summer. A homeowner's AC is running but blowing warm air. Their house is at 85 degrees. This is a Tuesday afternoon in July for any HVAC company.

New Call - Comfort Air Services

via CallHush · 4:31 PM

CallerJames Walker

Phone(469) 555-0293

ReasonAC unit running but blowing warm air. House is 85 degrees. Unit is about 8 years old, no recent service. Available tomorrow morning or anytime Wednesday.

UrgencyMEDIUM

Duration2:08

Why it matters: Lexi captured the unit age, the symptom, and the caller's availability. The HVAC tech can schedule the call without a callback to ask basic questions.

3. Law firm - new client inquiry

A potential client calls a personal injury firm after a car accident. They're stressed, unsure what to do, and calling multiple firms to see who picks up.

New Call - Carter & Associates Law

via CallHush · 9:47 AM

CallerMichelle Rivera

Phone(832) 555-0461

ReasonCar accident two days ago, other driver ran a red light. Has police report. Some neck and back pain, hasn't seen a doctor yet. Wants to know if she has a case.

UrgencyMEDIUM

Duration2:41

Why it matters: Personal injury leads are worth thousands. Michelle is calling multiple firms right now. The one that calls back first with context ("I see you were in a rear-end collision on Tuesday") wins the case.

4. Salon - appointment request

A client calls a hair salon to book a cut and color for the weekend. The salon is mid-service with a client and can't answer.

New Call - Bloom Hair Studio

via CallHush · 11:22 AM

CallerTanya Brooks

Phone(214) 555-0178

ReasonWants to book a haircut and highlights for Saturday, ideally morning. She's a new client, was referred by her friend Amanda. Has shoulder-length hair.

UrgencyLOW

Duration1:18

Why it matters: Salon appointments are time-sensitive. Tanya will book somewhere else if she doesn't hear back today. The referral detail ("her friend Amanda") is gold for the salon owner.

5. Electrician - sparking outlet

A homeowner sees sparks when they plug something into a kitchen outlet. They're worried about a fire hazard and want someone out today.

New Call - Bright Spark Electric

via CallHush · 7:58 AM

CallerRobert Kim

Phone(972) 555-0534

ReasonKitchen outlet sparking when plugging in appliances. Has happened twice this morning. Stopped using the outlet. House is about 20 years old. Wants someone today if possible.

UrgencyHIGH

Duration1:52

Why it matters: Electrical issues are safety concerns. Lexi flagged this as HIGH urgency because sparking + fire risk. The electrician can prioritize this over a routine panel upgrade.

What every summary includes

Every CallHush email summary has the same five fields:

Caller name - so you can greet them by name when you call back
Phone number - tap to call back directly from your phone
Reason for calling - the full context, not just "plumbing issue"
Urgency level - HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW so you can prioritize
Call duration - so you know how long the conversation was

No login required. No app to install. No dashboard to learn. You open your email and you know exactly what the caller needs.

Why structured beats unstructured

Compare these summaries to a voicemail. With voicemail, you get a rambling audio recording you have to listen to, rewind, and mentally parse. Key details are buried or missing entirely.

With CallHush, you scan the email in 5 seconds and know exactly who called, why, and how urgently you need to respond. That's the difference between capturing a lead and losing one.
