Start with the calls you already get
We list the request types, the questions you already ask, and the answers you are willing to approve. Those become the only answers the agent is allowed to give.
Austin AI Automation
AI receptionists and business automation for Austin companies.
EXCEL works with Austin businesses that want to automate calls, scheduling, lead intake, customer follow-up, and repetitive administrative work. A drive to Buda or another nearby city is offered only when that place is on your service area and the request matches work you take.
You keep the phone number customers already use. EXCEL defines what the agent may answer, what it must capture, and when a person takes over.
EXCEL is headquartered in Troy, Michigan and works with Austin-area businesses remotely.
Try Elliot and hear what an AI receptionist can sound like for a real business conversation.

Built around your business
Austin companies set Central Time hours and the questions that decide whether a visit is worth making. San Antonio is not added unless you serve it. Qualification means your checklist: service area, scope, and the details a person needs before a walkthrough.
How EXCEL works with Austin companies
We start from how your company already answers the phone, schedules work, and follows up — then configure the agent around those rules.
Keep the number customers use
Callers keep dialing you. The agent follows your hours and your handoff list, including after hours when you want that coverage.
Write down the service area
Put Buda, Round Rock, or other cities on the list only if you travel there, and write the questions that qualify a visit.
Example conversation
Hypothetical example of one contractor qualification call.
We want a kitchen this summer. Can someone walk it in Buda?
I can check whether Buda is in the service area and whether a kitchen project matches work this company takes. Are you the owner, is this a full remodel or cabinets, and do drawings exist? A person still owns the walkthrough.
The filter is your checklist. The agent does not promise a site visit or a price.

Frequently asked questions
Can the AI ask filter questions before a site visit?
Yes. Owner, scope, drawings, and service area are examples. You choose the list. Unqualified requests can still be declined politely.
Can a person still approve every walkthrough?
Yes. The agent can capture the request and leave the slot with your team.
Can scheduling happen in Central Time?
Yes. Hours and appointment windows use the clock you publish.
Does Elliot qualify Austin projects?
No. Elliot does not know your checklist. That checklist is configured for your system.
