AI employees for small business

Never miss another family, call, or customer — your front office now works 24/7.

Elistria builds private, fully-managed AI front offices for childcare centers and local businesses: a receptionist that answers every parent instantly, books tours around the clock, and texts back every missed call — while your team does what humans do best.

The problem

Your best leads show up when nobody can answer.

🌙

Parents search at night

Most families research childcare after bedtime — when your office has been closed for hours. No answer means they keep scrolling to the next center.

📵

Missed calls are money

Staff with their hands full can't grab the phone. An unanswered call almost never calls back — it just dials your competitor.

📥

The inbox eats your day

Directors spend hours answering the same five questions instead of leading their center. Every slow reply is a family going cold.

What we build

One system. One login. One invoice.
Every tool your front office was missing.

🤖

AI Front Desk

Answers by phone, text, web chat, email, and social DMs — instantly, 24/7, in your voice. Every email reply is a draft your team approves.

📅

24/7 Booking

Tours and appointments book themselves onto your calendar with automatic confirmations and reminders. No phone tag, ever.

📱

Missed-Call Text-Back

Every unanswered call gets an instant, friendly text. Your phone number and phone system stay exactly as they are.

🎙️

AI Voice Receptionist

When staff can't pick up, the call is answered — questions handled, tours booked, messages taken, transcript delivered.

Reviews & Reputation

Happy customers get a gentle automatic invitation to leave a Google review. Fresh stars are your best salesperson.

📣

Social Media

You film 20 seconds on your phone — we caption, design, schedule, and post. Comments route into your AI front desk.

📊

Elistria One

Inventory with photo invoice-scanning, bookkeeping with receipt capture, staff training, and hiring — one branded portal.

🌐

Websites That Book

Complete websites with the engine built in — booking, chat, and text-back from day one. Not a brochure. A front door.

🛡️

The Human Rule

Anything sensitive — a specific child, billing, a complaint — always goes to your staff, never answered by AI. Built in, not bolted on.

How it works

From first call to fully running — without lifting a finger.

1

15-minute call

Tell us how your front office works today — what people ask, where calls get missed, what booking looks like. That's all we need.

2

Free 15-day pilot

We build your system and switch it on — at no cost. Your AI answers real inquiries, books real tours, and rescues real missed calls while you watch.

3

Decide with data

On day 15 we review the numbers together: inquiries captured, response times, tours booked. If it didn't earn its keep, we shake hands and part friends.

Questions

Fair questions, straight answers.

Will I have to change my phone number or phone system?

No. Nothing you use changes — phones, website, current software all stay. Elistria wraps around what already works. Missed-call text-back and the voice receptionist are added alongside your existing lines, and both are reversible in minutes.

What if the AI says something wrong?

Email replies are drafts your team approves before sending. The voice and chat assistants only answer from facts you give us — and anything sensitive (a specific child, billing, complaints) is always routed to a human. The failure mode is "nothing happens," never "something bad got sent."

How is this different from hiring an answering service or agency?

Answering services take messages. Marketing agencies maintain websites. Elistria builds the layer neither of them do: a system that actually answers, books, and follows up — measurable in booked appointments, not support minutes. And you get one local partner, not a ticket queue.

What does the free pilot include?

A real, working system on your real inbox and calendar for 15 days — not a slideshow. You'll see every inquiry captured and every tour booked in your own report before you're asked to pay anything.

Do you only work with childcare centers?

Childcare is our specialty — we know the questions parents ask and the rules the industry lives by. But the same front office works for salons, clinics, home services, and any local business that lives and dies by answered calls.

Your competitors go home at 5.
Your front office doesn't have to.
