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.
Detroit AI Automation
AI receptionists and business automation for Detroit companies.
EXCEL works with Detroit-area businesses that want to automate calls, scheduling, lead intake, customer follow-up, and repetitive administrative work. Dearborn, Warren, and other nearby cities belong on the service-area list only if your company actually covers them.
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 Detroit-area businesses remotely. EXCEL does not operate an office in Detroit.
Try Elliot and hear what an AI receptionist can sound like for a real business conversation.
Live demo

Tell him what kind of business you run and hear how an EXCEL agent could handle a real customer conversation.
Elliot is a demonstration. Your live assistant is customized — this is not exactly how yours will behave.

Built around your business
Metro Detroit is a wide service area for many companies and a short one for others. EXCEL does not assume which it is. You name the places and job types you accept. The product is the same one used for companies outside Michigan: reception, scheduling, follow-up, and the handoffs you approve. Hours are set in Eastern Time unless your operation says otherwise.
How EXCEL works with Detroit 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
City of Detroit only, or Detroit plus specific suburbs: write the list. The agent follows it.
Example conversation
Hypothetical example of one plumbing service call.
The water heater is out. Can someone come today? I am an existing customer.
I can start a same-day request if this address is inside the service area. Are you the account holder, is it a tank or tankless unit, and is water leaking?
Existing customer versus new request is a split you define. The agent does not promise an arrival time that is not in your rules.
What gets configured
Hours and time zone for Detroit
The service area you actually run — ZIPs, counties, and the jobs you do not take
Approved answers for the questions your callers already ask
Who gets the handoff, and through which channel
Which calls are after-hours and which wait until morning
A working session on a call, with an in-person option in Troy when that helps
How implementation works
Book a consultation. We will tell you what belongs in an agent and what should stay with people. Calendars, CRMs, and texting connect when those systems can be connected securely. Custom automation is scoped in discovery for the Detroit workflows you actually run.
Plan details live on the pricing page. Current plans are listed there.
What EXCEL can automate

Frequently asked questions
Can EXCEL work with a Detroit company that never visits Troy?
Yes. Implementation is a working session on a call. You keep your number, your hours, and your service area.
Can one receptionist cover Detroit and a few suburbs?
Yes, when you list the cities or ZIPs you accept. The agent should not assume a nearby suburb is in range.
Can it tell an existing customer from a new lead?
Yes, if you want that split. Account questions and new work can follow different paths, and either one can transfer to a person.
Will the live demo already know our Detroit service area?
No. Elliot is a general demonstration. Your service area is added when the system is configured for your company.
Can after-hours calls wait until morning?
Yes. You mark which situations should reach someone immediately and which ones should be captured for the next open hour.
