Every call answered. Every customer remembered.
It is 9:42 PM. A burst pipe, a cracked tooth, a table for twelve tomorrow: someone needs you tonight and picks up the phone. Follow that call, in one unbroken shot, and see what happens when your business never stops answering.
After hours, a call usually meets voicemail.
A caller who reaches voicemail can simply dial the next business on the list. This call is headed somewhere better.
The office is dark. The phone is not.
No one is at the desk, and no one needs to be. Your number rings the same way it always has, and Talos Connect picks up on the first ring.
An AI receptionist that finishes the job.
She says she is a virtual assistant, listens, recognizes an emergency, and looks up the caller: name, history, balance, next appointment.
On your real calendar, in real time.
She finds the first open slot, reads it back, books it and texts a confirmation. The call is transcribed, summarized and waiting for your team in the morning.
By the time you unlock the door, it is handled.
Phones, texting, scheduling, payments, reviews and a 24/7 AI receptionist, in one platform built for local businesses.
Talos Connect is an all-in-one customer communication platform for local businesses across the United States, from home service companies, restaurants, salons and auto shops to law firms, professional firms and medical, dental and veterinary practices.

She answers on the first ring. Every time.
Not a phone tree. A natural-sounding assistant that works inside your real schedule, your real customer list and your real menu.
- Books, reschedules and cancels directly on your calendar, then texts the confirmation.
- Recognizes emergencies and hands them to a person immediately.
- Calls out, too: follow-ups, reactivation, reminders and past-due balances, with TCPA guardrails.
- Speaks English, Spanish and Vietnamese, so no caller waits for a bilingual staff member.
- Tells callers it is an AI when asked, and transfers to your team on request.

Frequently asked questions
What is an AI receptionist?
An AI receptionist is software that answers your business phone with a natural voice, understands what the caller needs, and completes tasks such as booking an appointment, taking a message or answering common questions. Talos Connect's AI receptionist works inside your real calendar and customer list, and transfers to a person when needed.
Will callers know they are talking to an AI?
Yes. The assistant introduces itself as a virtual assistant and says plainly that it is an AI if asked. Callers can ask for a person at any time, and you decide when calls go to the AI: always, after hours only, or only when your team does not pick up.
Can I keep my current phone numbers?
Yes. Your existing local and toll-free numbers can be ported to the platform. We handle the carrier paperwork, and your numbers keep working during the transfer.
Is Talos Connect available outside Texas?
Yes. Talos Connect is available to businesses anywhere in the United States. It is built in Houston, and setup, number porting, training and support all happen remotely, so a business in Ohio or Oregon gets the same platform, the same published list prices and the same AI receptionist as one in Houston.
What languages does the AI receptionist speak?
English, Spanish and Vietnamese. Callers can book an appointment, leave a message or get an answer in any of the three languages, and your team receives the transcript and summary of every call.
Which industries does Talos Connect support?
There are editions for home services such as HVAC and plumbing, restaurants, salons and spas, auto repair, law firms, professional services and business-to-business accounts, plus medical offices, dental practices and veterinary clinics. Each edition changes the vocabulary, appointment types, forms, automations and the AI receptionist's skills.
Does Talos Connect work with my CRM?
Yes, if it is on our list. Talos Connect sends new and updated contacts, calls with the AI summary, booked appointments, new leads and missed-call alerts to HubSpot, Salesforce, GoHighLevel, Pipedrive, Zoho CRM, Close, monday.com, Airtable, Slack, Zapier, Make or n8n. It sends one way, from Connect to the other app, and our team sets up the connection for you.
How much does Talos Connect cost?
Seats are $19.95, $24.95 or $34.95 a user a month, and the AI receptionist is $149 a month including 500 minutes. Our cost savings page shows complete packages for 10, 50 and 100-user offices, and a demo builds an exact quote around your call flow.
Is Talos Connect HIPAA compliant?
Talos Connect is designed to support HIPAA-conscious workflows, including access controls, audit logs and minimum-necessary messaging, and a Business Associate Agreement is part of onboarding for healthcare clients. Compliance is a shared responsibility that also depends on how your practice uses the tools.
