Every missed call is a job your competitor wins. Caddy is a business line with an AI receptionist that answers when you can't, finds out what the caller needs, and books them onto your calendar while you keep working. Finish the job you're on, check the app, and the next one is already scheduled. CATCH AND BOOK THE JOBS YOU'D MISS When you can't pick up, Caddy answers, greets the caller, collects their info, what they need, and when they're available, then books them into an open slot on your calendar.
