Never miss an important call. Never take a spam one.
Calls handled. Not just screened. When you can't pick up, Gennie answers, finds out who's calling and why, and handles the call the way you told it to: confirms the appointment, takes the message, or puts it through to you. Spam never reaches you.

Gennie answers
A natural, friendly voice asks who's calling and why, and follows your rules: who to put through, what to decline.
You get what matters
Two ways, your choice: Gennie puts important calls through to the phone you pick, or takes a note and sends it to you. Every call gets a summary by email or Discord.
Already have call screening on your phone?
iPhone (iOS 26) and Pixel can ask unknown callers who they are. That's a good start. Then the call is still yours to deal with. Gennie takes care of the whole call.

Tell Gennie what to do. In plain English.
Instructions are your own house rules for calls. Write one sentence, like you'd tell a friend, and Gennie follows it on every call: it confirms the appointment, gives the delivery driver your note, or lets you know right away. The small calls stop interrupting your day.
If my dentist's office calls to confirm an appointment, confirm it for me.

Good to know.
What's the difference between Personal and Business?
Business includes everything in Personal, plus 5 times the minutes. On Personal, Gennie answers your own phone as your assistant. On Business, Gennie answers as your business's receptionist: it greets callers with your business name, answers questions about your hours, services and prices, and takes down every new customer.
Do I need a new phone or number?
No. You keep your phone and your number. You dial one short code so calls go to Gennie. Turning it off is one code too.
Will my phone still ring?
You choose. Forward only the calls you don't answer, and your phone rings first like always: Gennie steps in when you don't pick up or tap decline. Or forward every call, and Gennie answers all of them so your phone only rings for the calls that matter.
Does Gennie put calls through, or just take messages?
Either, your choice, and you can switch anytime. Gennie can put important calls through to your phone. If your carrier sends the call back (some do when you tap decline), Gennie takes the message and calls you right after: press 1 to call them back, or 2 and Gennie delivers your reply. Or nobody gets through and Gennie sends you a detailed note instead, by email or Discord. Text and WhatsApp alerts are coming soon.
If my phone forwards every call, how do important calls reach me?
Gennie can't ring a phone that sends every call straight back to it, so pick one of two options. Have Gennie send you notes, or put calls through to another line. A free Google Voice number works well: the Google Voice app rings on your same phone over Wi-Fi or data, even when you're abroad.
Will callers know they're talking to an AI?
Gennie answers as your assistant, in the voice you pick, and tells every caller the call may be recorded. It's polite and brief, never pretends to be you, and if a caller asks, it says it's an AI assistant.
How does Gennie decide what to put through?
Two ways, both in plain language you can change anytime. Rules decide who gets through and what gets a polite no, plus your safe list (rings you directly) and block list (never). Instructions tell Gennie to handle a situation for you, so your phone doesn't ring at all. Businesses start with rules made for their type of business.
What are Instructions? New
One sentence you write, like you'd tell an assistant: “Confirm my doctor appointments.” “If CVS asks to confirm a refill, press the key.” “Tell delivery drivers to leave it at the door.” Gennie follows it on every call, and you get the result marked “Handled for you”. It talks to people in words and presses a key only when a recording asks for one. It only confirms or passes things on: it never cancels, pays, signs you up for anything, or gives out private details.
Can I listen to my calls?
Yes. Every call in your dashboard has a short summary, the full transcript and a recording you can play. Callers are told the call may be recorded.
What happens to spam calls?
Gennie politely says no, and robocalls are hung up on. If a declined caller insists it's important, Gennie can let them leave a short message after a beep. Your dashboard shows how many unwanted calls Gennie stopped and the time it saved you.
What if Gennie is down?
Your calls ring straight through to the phone Gennie puts calls through to. You'll never lose a call because of us.
What happens when I use all my minutes?
Calls ring straight through to you, unscreened, until your next month starts. You're never charged extra.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, in two clicks from your account. Cancel during the 7-day trial and you're never charged.
Let Gennie take the next call.
