Founder, Oprantis · 25 years in Orange County contracting
I spent 25 years running a contracting business in Orange County. I know exactly what it costs when the phone rings and nobody answers — not just the missed call, but the job that went to whoever picked up.
Every contractor I know has lived this. You're up on a ladder, you're under a sink, you're driving back from a supply run. The phone rings. By the time you call back twenty minutes later, the homeowner already booked someone else. That call was worth $3,000 in countertops, $12,000 in a kitchen remodel, $40,000 in a whole-house repipe. Gone.
I built Oprantis because I'd lost too many of those calls myself. Aria answers within two seconds, qualifies the lead, and books the appointment — 24/7, in English or Spanish — while you stay on the job. She's not a generic AI receptionist trained on call center scripts. She's trained on the trades, by someone who's been in them.
If you've ever lost a job to a competitor because you couldn't pick up the phone, that's exactly the problem we solve.

California law fines contractors for holding a phone while driving — first offense runs up to $162, points on your license stack, and business-vehicle fines escalate. Aria handles every call while you drive — safer, legal, and no missed jobs.
A real cost breakdown — voicemail vs. human answering service vs. AI receptionist — and the math that actually matters when one recovered job pays for the entire year.
Aria answering your phone is just the start. Once she’s listening to every call, she becomes the operational nervous system of your business — handling the work that’s eating your margins right now.
Aria already knows who called, what they need, where they are, and how urgent it is. The next layer routes the job to the right tech automatically based on skillset, geography, current job status, and customer history. No more $400 truck rolls for $80 jobs.
60% of contractor estimates never get a follow-up call. Aria sends the quote, follows up at day 3, day 7, day 14 with conversation tone, captures objections, and either re-engages the lead or marks them dead so you stop wasting headspace.
Seasonal HVAC tune-up reminders. “It’s been 18 months since your roof inspection.” “Your warranty expires in 60 days.” Subscription-style customer retention without you remembering anything.
Aria asks every caller how they heard about you. Your portal shows which channels actually convert. Stop spending $800 a month on the directory listing that produced two tire-kickers last quarter.
Outstanding receivables follow-up calls Aria places on your behalf. Polite, persistent, doesn’t get embarrassed. Closes the gap between job done and money in the bank.
We start with calls. We don’t stop there.

The real math — voicemail vs. human answering service vs. AI receptionist — and why one recovered job pays for the entire year.
Read →No. Aria uses human-grade voice AI — most callers can’t tell the difference.
Aria handles routine calls: scheduling, quotes, FAQs, service area, emergency triage. For anything complex she collects details and texts you a summary within 60 seconds.
Yes. Fully bilingual. Switches automatically based on caller language.
Every missed call becomes a captured lead in your CRM — not a voicemail you listen to at 9pm.
Aria can be live in as little as 24 hours once we have your information — most contractors are up and running within a week.
Cancel anytime from your account portal — no calls, no emails required. You'll keep access through the end of your billing cycle. No contracts, no cancellation fee, no proration.
No. Forward your existing number. Your number stays yours.
No problem — overage calls run at $0.20/minute and are billed with your next invoice. You can also upgrade your plan anytime from your dashboard if usage consistently exceeds your plan limits.
Yes — urgent leads escalate to you instantly. Emergency repairs, ready-to-book customers, anything Aria flags as time-sensitive triggers a notification to your phone right away. Routine inquiries stay in your CRM with a written summary so you can follow up at your own pace.
Every call generates a written summary delivered to you and logged in your CRM — that’s included on all plans. Full call recordings are part of the Concierge plan; Starter and Growth deliver written summaries only.
Keep your existing number. Forward the calls you can’t answer to Aria, or forward 100% of inbound for full coverage — your call. The Concierge plan includes a dedicated business phone number if you’d rather give Aria her own line.
No. Month-to-month billing, no long-term contracts, no early-termination fees. Cancel anytime from your account portal — you keep access through the end of your current billing cycle.
If you sign up during the Founders Special, your monthly rate is locked at the price you signed up at — we don’t bump existing customers when standard pricing returns. The setup-fee waiver also applies only to Founders Special signups.
Aria syncs natively with HubSpot today. We’re actively building integrations with Jobber, ServiceTitan, and Housecall Pro — if you’re on one of those platforms, let us know during onboarding and we’ll prioritize your stack. In the meantime, we can export your call data to CSV on demand or push to any CRM that accepts a webhook.
Aria transcribes every call in real time and flags low-confidence segments (background noise, unclear speech, unusual addresses). Flagged calls go into a review queue you can access from your dashboard — you correct anything Aria got wrong with one click, and the correction syncs back to HubSpot automatically. For routine calls Aria handles cleanly, no review is needed. You only review the flagged ones — clean calls don’t need your attention.
You can cancel anytime from your account portal — no phone calls, no email chains. We don’t pro-rate refunds on the current month (the AI minutes are already provisioned), but you keep service through the end of your billing cycle. Founders Special pricing locks in for the life of your subscription, so once you’re in, you’re in. No refunds on setup fees once setup work has started, but if we haven’t begun setup, full refund.
Founding partner pricing locks May 31, 2026.
We’re working with our first 10 founding partners to refine Oprantis for the businesses we serve best.
