## What is PN Receptionist?

Never miss another job because you couldn't get to the phone.

Receptionist by Powered Now is an AI phone receptionist built for UK tradespeople — plumbers, electricians, builders, gas engineers, roofers and other busy service businesses. Your phone always rings first. If you can't answer because you're on the tools, driving or up a ladder, your AI receptionist steps in, answers professionally and captures the lead — so enquiries turn into work instead of lost calls.

Every missed call is answered, summarised and logged straight to your phone, with a full transcript and recording you can play back later.

WHAT YOUR AI RECEPTIONIST DOES
- Answers missed calls with a professional greeting in your business name
- Captures caller name, job details, urgency and preferred callback time
- Writes a clear summary of every call, with transcript and recording
- Filters out spam and nuisance calls automatically
- Rings you back and connects trusted callers you don't want to miss
- Transfers genuine emergencies through to your mobile
- Lets customers send photos of the job by secure link
- Turns calls into leads you can action in seconds

CHOOSE HOW IT SOUNDS
Pick from a range of natural British and Scottish voices, write your own greeting, and add instructions so your receptionist handles calls exactly the way you would.

STAY ON TOP OF EVERY LEAD
The app puts your Calls, SMS and Settings in one place. Get notified the moment a new call comes in, review what was said, call the customer back with one tap, and add the lead to your Here Is My Work pipeline.

ADD SMS FOLLOW-UP
Your receptionist also handles customer texts — answering common questions and following up automatically after calls. You can review every text conversation in the app.

WHO IT'S FOR
Sole traders and small trade businesses who lose work to missed calls and don't have time — or budget — for a human receptionist or a traditional answering service.

REQUIREMENTS
Receptionist by Powered Now works with a Here Is My Work / Powered Now account.

Stop losing jobs to voicemail. Let your AI receptionist answer, and get back to work.

### 5/5 — A&W Plumbinb

*2026-08-14*

It’s a great App helps you to keep on top of the messages that the AI assistant passes on to you saves time and a lot of missed calls

### 5/5 — Been using it a few weeks but I’m already impressed

*2026-08-14*

Only started using this so still finding my feet, but it brill so far. What’s really stood out was how much it knows your business, so my customers actually get proper answers when I can’t get to the phone.

I’m quite a visual person, so having all the leads land on one dashboard is a neat addition. 

Also had a play with the different voice options, worth a go for that alone 😆

### 5/5 — Paid for itself already

*2026-08-14*

Tried a few receptionist softwares but being a Powered Now customer thought I’d give it a go. Set it up the other day and it’s already booked 2 jobs I would’ve otherwise missed. 

I really like that you can pick the voice and put custom prompts in to customise it, instantly sounds like how I would answer the phone.

### 5/5 — Wish we had this years ago!

*2026-08-14*

Never miss a call now, evenings and weekends are free to do other things.
All messages are transcribed and sent in an email too.
Takes a little bit of getting used to, and some customers will hang up when they realise it AI, but as a small company this is a massive time saver.

### 5/5 — Saves me missing calls!

*2026-07-08*

Powered Now user here, this is a really helpful addition. It saves me missing calls from customers. The auto transcript and SMS is a useful feature as well.
