## What is Caddy?

Stop giving clients your personal number. Caddy gives you a dedicated local business number on the phone you already carry. Within minutes you have unlimited calling, texting and an AI receptionist that takes your calls when you can’t. 
Built for the 30 million solopreneurs and micro business owners across the US and Canada who need a professional phone presence without paying for tools built for companies ten times their size. 


HOW CADDY WORKS 
Download the app, choose a phone number with a local area code, and your business line is live. Calls and texts come into Caddy, separating them from your personal number, so you always know when it's business and when it's personal. 
When you can't pick up, enable Caddy's AI receptionist to take over. It answers your calls, collects the caller's name and reason for calling, and sends you a summary with a full transcript. You wake up to an organized list of leads instead of a voicemail box full of missed opportunities.*
