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.

An AI receptionist answers calls, WhatsApp, texts and website chat 24 hours a day, in English or Spanish depending on how the customer speaks. It replies with your business information, qualifies the lead, books the appointment on your calendar and, when a person is needed, hands off with a summary in the CRM. In San Antonio, where over a third of residents speak Spanish at home, language decides many sales. 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 ## Why do San Antonio businesses lose calls that were already customers? San Antonio has more than 21,000 employer businesses, so the customer who calls has options. If the phone rings while you're with someone else, on a job site or driving, the call is lost, and many people don't leave a message: they dial the next business on the list. A WhatsApp message answered three hours later meets the same fate. Language opens a second leak. Almost 2 out of 3 residents are Hispanic and more than a third speak Spanish at home, yet many families switch between English and Spanish in the same conversation. A "press 2 for Spanish" menu or a receptionist who speaks only one language loses exactly the customers who were ready to book. Hiring more staff to cover the phone at night and on weekends doesn't pencil out for most small businesses. An AI receptionist covers those hours in both languages, answers what it already knows about your business and passes the rest to you with context. You decide what it handles alone and what comes to you. ## San Antonio by the numbers: who you're selling to San Antonio is the largest city on the corridor and one of the most Latino cities in the United States: almost 2 out of 3 residents are Hispanic and more than a third speak Spanish at home. For a service business that is concrete: many customers prefer to be texted, called and followed up in Spanish, others in English, sometimes within the same family. With more than 21,000 employer businesses (4,749 Latino-owned in the Census's latest city-level count), competition for every customer is intense. The prettiest ad doesn't win: the business that answers first and follows up before the lead goes cold does. The city has a strong small-business network: the San Antonio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the UTSA SBDC and the Hispanic Contractors Association. It is the southern end of the I-35 corridor I serve, toward New Braunfels and Seguin. - 1,548,422 residents (2025 est.) - 64.6% Hispanic or Latino - 36.4% speak Spanish at home - 21,665 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 San Antonio ### Contractors and home services Roofing, plumbing, HVAC and remodeling. The assistant answers while you're up on a roof or under a sink, asks what the customer needs, what part of town they're in and how urgent it is, and books the estimate. Emergencies go to your phone right away. It treats the homeowner who calls in Spanish the same as the project manager who texts in English. ### Med spas, clinics and salons At a San Antonio med spa, calls come in mid-session. The assistant explains treatments and hours using information you approve, books the consultation, confirms by text or WhatsApp and sends a reminder the day before. Medical questions, special pricing or a reaction to a treatment always go to a person on your team, with the conversation summarized. ## 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 San Antonio it happens all the time. We set it up to reply in the language it's spoken to, and you test both languages before launch. You check it yourself with calls and messages in both languages, and we adjust the vocabulary specific to your business. We give you a fixed, written price after the 15-minute call; there's no single price because it depends on channels, volume and integrations. Call and messaging usage is billed separately. In our October 2026 review, the AI voice providers with San Antonio pages published in English only. We build it in both languages and work over video call with businesses across the area, from Stone Oak to Converse. 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.
