Prime Circa

The AI backup line for home-service pros

Vanessa catches
the calls you miss.

Keep your existing phone number. Answer when you can. When you're busy, unavailable, or already on another call, Vanessa steps in.

This rings Prime Circa's own line, where Vanessa is our receptionist. Tell her your business name and she'll look you up online and answer a practice call as your receptionist. If you like what you hear, setup continues in the same call, and Vanessa texts you the sign-in link.

The AI backup line for home-service pros

Vanessa catches
the calls you miss.

Keep your existing phone number. Answer when you can. When you're busy, unavailable, or already on another call, Vanessa steps in.

Keep your number

Nothing changes
until the third ring.

Your number stays your number.

The one on your truck, your invoices, your Google listing. Customers dial exactly what they always dialed.

You decide when she picks up.

Only when you don't answer. Only after hours. Only when you flip her on. Your call.

Cancel and nothing changes back —

because nothing changed in the first place. Your phone works today exactly like it did before Vanessa.

The 10-minute promise

Hiring a receptionist takes weeks.
Vanessa takes minutes.

A human receptionist replaces your front desk — job posts, interviews, training, turnover. Your backup line just catches what you miss: one short conversation, then she's there for the calls you can't take.

How it works

Set up in three steps.

No forms, no menus. She looks you up, you fill in the gaps, you go live. Here's the real thing, start to finish.

Watch a real setup, start to finish (2 min)

1

Talk

Say your business name and city. Vanessa finds you on Google and fills in the rest herself — hours, services, what customers praise. Then a few questions she's already guessed the answers to — you just confirm.

2

Test

Call your own line right away and hear her answer like a real receptionist. Tweak her in seconds.

3

Go live

Keep your number — she picks up the calls you can't. You choose when: after hours, when you're slammed, or every ring you miss.

Frequently asked questions

What is Prime Circa?
Prime Circa builds practical AI staff for owner-operated small businesses. Vanessa, the receptionist and backup line, and Vera, the reputation agent, are live today. Valerie (retention), Vivian (scheduling), and Vienna (acquisition) are planned. Each agent is independent, and the agents you use work from the same reviewed facts about your business.
Who is Prime Circa for?
Prime Circa is built first for owner-operated home-service businesses without a front desk — plumbers, HVAC contractors, electricians, roofers, cleaners, landscapers, and similar trades. Vanessa is designed for businesses that receive customer calls while the owner or crew is working; she is not currently offered for medical, dental, or legal call handling. Vera’s reputation audit supports a broader range of local businesses.
How is Prime Circa different from a marketing agency?
Agencies cost $500–$2,000/month and bottle-neck on humans who answer email Monday-Friday. Prime Circa is $29–$49/month per agent, works 24/7, and is consistent because the work is rule-driven by AI rather than relationship-driven by the account manager you happened to get. You stay in control — every owner-voice reply, post, and message goes out under your business identity.
Do I have to use all five agents?
No. Each agent is sold independently, and each subscription starts with a 14-day free trial. Most owners start with Vera (free audit + $29/mo subscription) or Vanessa ($49/mo, with 120 minutes of talk time included). The shared knowledge base means adding an agent later is just toggling it on — no re-onboarding.
What is the Founding 100?
The first 100 Prime Circa accounts lock in a lower lifetime price on any agent they subscribe to ($19/mo for Vera, $29/mo for Vanessa, etc.) — locked for as long as the subscription stays active, even as the public price rises. One subscription anywhere in the suite qualifies the whole account. Founding pricing locks in when your 14-day free trial starts, not when it ends.
Where is Prime Circa based?
Prime Circa is based in Cypress, Texas — outside Houston. The company was founded in 2010 (originally building the Notes Plus iPad app, used by 1M+ professionals). The pivot to AI for small businesses launched in early 2026.
