Hi! Yes: Thursday 10:30 or 3:00. Which works? 3 o'clock, thanks Done, you're booked. You'll get a reminder the day before. IA Replied in 40 s · appointment created on the calendar Illustrative example - 3+ yrs building systems in GoHighLevel - 26+ clients and projects from April to October 2026 - 100 on the Ahrefs audit of our own website - EN · ES website, messages, AI and training in both languages ## What does an AI appointment setter do for a Kyle business? It answers every call, WhatsApp, text or chat at any hour, in English or Spanish, asks what you would ask to screen the job, and books the appointment on your calendar. Anything it shouldn't decide alone comes to you with a summary in the CRM. In Kyle, with almost 70,000 residents and about 460 employer firms (2017) in the latest count, it keeps demand from going unanswered. The system - 1 Call, WhatsApp, text or chat - 2 AI answers in the customer's language - 3 Replies with your business information - 4 Appointment booked on your calendar - 5 Summary in the CRM for your team ## What does a Kyle business lose when it doesn't answer? Kyle went from about 45,700 residents in 2020 to almost 70,000 in 2025, and the Kyle EDC reports it was the 2nd fastest-growing U.S. city of 50,000+ in 2022-23. Every family that arrives needs a contractor, a dentist, a salon and a mechanic, and calls whoever they find first on their phone. On the other side, in the Census's latest city-level count Kyle had about 460 employer businesses (2017). Many already get more inquiries than they can answer, and the owner ends up choosing between the job in front of them and the phone. When the job wins, the call goes to a business in Buda, San Marcos or Austin. In Kyle, 51.8% of residents are Latino and 27.3% speak Spanish at home, so many calls start in Spanish. An AI assistant serves those customers in their language, but it also filters: it asks about area, type of job and urgency, and only books what fits your rules, so your time goes to the work you actually want. ## Kyle by the numbers: who you're selling to Kyle is one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States: it went from about 45,700 residents in 2020 to almost 70,000 in 2025 (+53%). More than half of the population is Latino and more than a quarter speaks Spanish at home. That growth brings new families looking for everything for the first time: a contractor, a dentist, a salon, a mechanic. Whoever shows up first on Google and answers fast keeps that new customer. In the Census's latest city-level count Kyle had about 460 employer businesses (2017): there is still room to get positioned before the competition. The Kyle chamber of commerce and the Texas State SBDC, which covers Hays County, are good support points for small businesses. Kyle sits between Austin and San Marcos on I-35. - 69,917 residents (2025 est.) - 51.8% Hispanic or Latino - 27.3% speak Spanish at home - 462 employer businesses Share of residents who speak Spanish at home, I-35 corridor - San Antonio 36.4 % - Seguin 30.1 % - Kyle 27.3 % - San Marcos 23.3 % - Austin 20.2 % - New Braunfels 17.6 % Source: U.S. Census Bureau.

It's an assistant trained on your business information that answers, books and hands off to a person anything it shouldn't handle alone. - [Answers calls 24/7 Picks up the phone at any hour, in English or Spanish depending on the caller, with a natural tone and your business's style.](https://www.anthonyhunts.com/en/servicios/asistente-ai-chat-voz) - [WhatsApp, text and website chat The same assistant replies by text on every channel, using the same information it uses on calls.](https://www.anthonyhunts.com/en/servicios/asistente-ai-chat-voz) - [Trained on your business Services, hours, service areas, FAQs and rules: what it can say, what it can't and when to bring in a person.](https://www.anthonyhunts.com/en/servicios/ai-agents) - [Appointments straight to your calendar Offers open time slots, books the appointment, confirms by message and sends a reminder before the visit.](https://www.anthonyhunts.com/en/servicios/crm-gohighlevel) - [Qualifies every lead Asks what you would ask (service, area, urgency, budget) and saves the answers on the contact record.](https://www.anthonyhunts.com/en/servicios/ai-agents) - [Handoff to a person with a summary When someone on your team is needed, it transfers or alerts them and leaves a conversation summary in the CRM so nobody repeats questions.](https://www.anthonyhunts.com/en/servicios/crm-gohighlevel) - [Automatic follow-up If the customer doesn't book, the system follows up with reminders and messages in their language.](https://www.anthonyhunts.com/en/servicios/automatizaciones-ia) ## How we set it up, step by step - 1 ### 15-minute call, free You tell me how calls and messages come in today, what's being lost and what your customers ask. Together we decide whether an AI receptionist makes sense for your business. - 2 ### A fixed, written price I send you which channels get connected, what the assistant does and doesn't do, the delivery date and the price. Call and messaging usage is separate, and I explain how it's calculated. - 3 ### Training and testing with you We load your services, hours, areas, FAQs and rules. Before launch you test it yourself in English and Spanish, by phone and by message, and we adjust anything you don't like. - 4 ### Launch and conversation review During the first weeks we review conversations, correct answers and fine-tune when it hands off to a person. After that we keep improving it based on what your customers ask. ## Voicemail or rule-based chatbot vs. an AI receptionist | | Voicemail or rule-based chatbot | SHAART AI receptionist | | After hours | The customer leaves a message, if they bother | Answers, resolves questions and books at any hour | | Language | One language or a "press 2" menu | Replies in English or Spanish, matching the customer's language | | Questions | Canned answers or none | Answers with your services, hours, areas and rules | | Appointments | Someone has to call back | Books on your calendar and sends a confirmation | | When it doesn't know | The question goes unanswered | Doesn't make things up: says so and hands off with a summary | | Records | Scattered notes or nothing | Every conversation is logged in the CRM with a summary | In our October 2026 review of I-35 corridor providers, the ones offering AI voice agents with pages for San Antonio and Austin publish in English only. ## Real work, with sources Our own projects, published as case studies with every number sourced. Client work appears only with written permission. ### Case: from Ahrefs 55 to 100 and PageSpeed 96 Anthony Hunt's site went from 55 to 100 in the Ahrefs audit (1,771 URLs, 0 errors) and its mobile home page from 55 to 96 in PageSpeed, with 1,990 URLs in its sitemaps and every finding turned into an automatic check so it does not happen again. - 55 → 100 Ahrefs audit - 55 → 96 Mobile PageSpeed, home page [See the case study](https://www.anthonyhunts.com/en/proyectos/anthonyhunts-seo-y-velocidad) ### Case: booking site and SEO for tourism My Dominican Trip is a bilingual tours and transfers site for travelers from the US, Canada and Europe, built on WordPress with an in-house plugin (Travel Suite) that works as booking engine, payments, CRM and SEO; its sitemaps add up to about 2,700 URLs and, over three months, Search Console recorded 22.5k impressions. - 22,500 Google impressions (3 months) - 104 Google clicks (3 months) [See the case study](https://www.anthonyhunts.com/en/proyectos/my-dominican-trip-travel-suite) Verified reviews ## What my clients say Real reviews from businesses that trusted the system. ## Industries we focus on in Kyle ### Contractors and home services Garages, fencing, roofing, HVAC and landscaping for new homes in Kyle, Plum Creek and Uhland. The assistant takes the call, confirms the address is inside your service area, asks what's needed and books the estimate. If your schedule is already full that week, it offers the next open date instead of leaving the customer waiting for a call that never comes. ### Clinics, med spas and salons The Kyle EDC is working to attract more healthcare, and new families are looking for a dentist, clinic, med spa or salon they can trust. The assistant answers hours, services and whether you take new patients based on what you define, books the first appointment and sends a confirmation and reminder. Questions about insurance, symptoms or treatments always go to your staff. ## How much does it cost? The AI receptionist has no published price: it depends on the channels, your call volume and what needs to be connected, so I give you a fixed, written price after the 15-minute call. Call and messaging usage is billed separately. These do have published prices: - ### Strategy consultation $ 99 one-time per 1-hour session [See plan →](https://www.anthonyhunts.com/consultoria) - ### WhatsApp Automation $ 79 one-time + $ 15 /month [See plan →](https://www.anthonyhunts.com/digitalizate-basico#addons) - ### Custom AI receptionist Calls, WhatsApp, texts and website chat in English and Spanish, with calendar and CRM: a fixed, written price after the 15-minute call.

Source: U.S. Census Bureau (Vintage 2025, ACS 2020-2024). ## Frequently asked questions Yes, and in Kyle that saves a lot of time. We give it your rules: areas you cover, jobs you do and don't, minimum job size. If the request doesn't fit, it explains that politely and saves the contact in the CRM, instead of booking a visit that's no use to you. You don't need it beforehand. If you don't have it, we set it up as part of the project: calendar, CRM and message inbox. If you already use another booking system, we check on the 15-minute call whether to connect it or move everything to GoHighLevel. Same as across the corridor: a fixed, written price after the 15-minute call, based on channels, volume and integrations, plus call and messaging usage. If you want a plan for your business first, the 1-hour consultation is $99. We work over video call with businesses across Hays County. They may, and we don't hide it. The assistant speaks with a natural tone and your business's style, but we don't promise it's the same as a person. That's why you test it yourself in English and Spanish before launch, and if someone asks, it tells the truth. It's instructed not to make things up. If the answer isn't in the information you gave it, or the topic involves special pricing, complaints or emergencies, it tells the customer a person will follow up, alerts you and leaves the conversation summary in the CRM. Usually, yes. In the diagnostic we check which number the assistant will work with, the one you use today or a new one, depending on what your phone provider allows. Appointments are booked on the GoHighLevel calendar, which syncs with Google Calendar or Outlook. We confirm the details on the 15-minute call. It's quoted at a fixed, written price after the 15-minute call, because it depends on channels, volume and integrations. Call and messaging usage is billed separately. If you'd like to review your case in depth first, the 1-hour consultation is $99.
