Why businesses use Cawly

You can't answer every call. Your business can.

Customers call while you're working, after hours, and when nobody is available to pick up. Cawly makes sure those opportunities don't disappear.

  • When you're busy

    Don't make your next customer call someone else.

    Cawly answers when you're tied up, helps the caller, and captures the opportunity while it's still hot.

    ✓ Lead captured — Caller details saved

  • When you're closed

    Your business doesn't have to stop answering.

    Cawly can help callers after hours, on weekends, or whenever nobody is available to pick up.

    ✓ Caller helped after hours — Message and details captured

  • When you're working

    Finish the job in front of you.

    Cawly handles routine calls, gathers the details you need, and gets you involved only when necessary.

    ✓ Stay focused — Caller handled automatically

How Cawly does it

Most AI receptionists just answer. Cawly works toward your goals.

Generic AI phone bots read a script or guess. Cawly listens for what the caller actually needs, answers from facts you approved, and steers the conversation toward the outcome you picked: a qualified lead, a booked visit, or a sale.

  • Listens before it speaks. It waits for the caller to finish their thought. If they keep talking, it stops and listens instead of talking over them.
  • Answers from your facts. Replies come from your hours, services, and approved Q&A. When it does not know, it says so and takes a message instead of inventing a price or policy.
  • Pursues the goals you set. Pick goals like capturing the lead, asking about a new service, or sending a payment link, or write your own. It works them in, in your order, without sounding scripted.
  • Acts while they are on the line. With your apps connected, it books on your calendar, opens a job, texts or emails a payment link, or alerts your team.

Try it before you forward your business calls.

  2. 2. Make a test call. Claim a Cawly number, and Cawly calls your mobile so you can hear your greeting, ask questions, and check the summary.
  3. 3. Choose your coverage. When you are ready, forward the calls you want Cawly to handle using your carrier's forwarding code.

You keep your existing number. No porting or new hardware is needed.

Forwarding only when you are busy or do not answer depends on your carrier and phone system.

The conversation ends. You have the details.

After each call, the summary and full transcript appear in your Cawly dashboard.

  • What the caller needed. The reason for the call and the questions they asked, in plain language.
  • How to reach them. The name and callback number the caller shared.
  • What to do next. The follow-up the caller is expecting, so you call back with context.

Where your call data goes

Cawly runs speech recognition, its language model, and voice generation on infrastructure it controls rather than sending call content to external AI model APIs. Your telephony carrier and any apps you connect still process the data they need to work. Read how we handle data

How a call moves through Cawly

  1. Your caller. Routed by your phone carrier.
  2. Cawly-controlled infrastructure. Speech recognition, Language model, Voice generation.
  3. Your dashboard and connected apps. Summaries and transcripts go where you send them.

External AI model APIs: not in the call path.

Questions before you start

Can I use Cawly only outside business hours?

Yes. Forward your line to Cawly when you close and turn forwarding off when you open, or use your phone system’s schedule if it has one. Cawly answers the calls you forward.

Can I keep my current number?

Yes. Callers keep dialing your existing number. You forward it to your Cawly number with your carrier's forwarding code. No porting or new hardware is required.

When do I receive call summaries?

Each summary and transcript appears in your dashboard after the call ends. If you connect Slack or a CRM, call details can be sent there too.

Can urgent calls reach me?

Yes. Set a transfer number for urgent calls and describe what counts as urgent. Cawly follows those rules; it cannot recognize every emergency, so keep the rules specific.

What if I do not answer a transfer?

If the transfer cannot be placed, Cawly asks the caller for a callback number. When a transfer rings your phone and you do not pick up, your phone’s own voicemail settings apply.

Basic covers 1 number with 30 included voice minutes a month for $29. Starter covers 1 number with 300 included voice minutes a month for $99. Growth adds more numbers, 1,500 minutes, texting, and more connected apps.
