Your Angi & Thumbtack
Leads Won't Wait.
Clara Will.

You connect your Gmail account (the same one you get Angi/Thumbtack notifications to). Clara reads the notification emails automatically and captures lead info. No manual integrations needed — it works with any lead source that emails you notifications: Angi, Thumbtack, HomeAdvisor, Google LSA, Yelp, Facebook Lead Ads, or custom senders.

Within minutes of the lead request arriving. Clara works 24/7, so even if you're on another job, sleeping, or in the truck, the lead gets called back instantly. That's the whole point — you can't miss the 5-minute window if Clara's already dialing.

She introduces your business, confirms what the customer needs, answers common questions (emergency vs. routine, pricing ballpark, availability), and books appointments if they want to meet. The conversation follows a framework you control. You can review the full transcript in the app after every call.

Every call is fully transcribed and logged. If there's an issue, you see it immediately and can follow up personally to smooth things over. Clara is trained not to make promises — only to gather needs and book meetings. You handle the details and the close.

Clara sounds professional and natural. If a customer directly asks if they're talking to a person, Clara will not mislead them. Many contractors are transparent upfront: "I use an AI assistant to make sure I call everyone back fast." Customers appreciate the speed more than they care whether the initial voice is human.

Yes. You can turn notifications on and off anytime through Settings. Clara only calls leads you enable her to. Pause whenever you need breathing room.

Free to download. A subscription costs $19.99/week or $99/month for unlimited call minutes and features. Most contractors win back 1-2 leads per week with faster callback — one extra job usually pays for the subscription and then some. No long-term contract. Cancel anytime.

In most jurisdictions, AI-assisted outbound calls to business contacts are permitted — especially to leads who have expressed prior interest or given some form of consent. Laws vary by country and state (TCPA in the US, PECR in the UK, etc.). Next Step AI is designed for use with your own leads and prospects, not mass cold dialing of random numbers. We recommend reviewing your local regulations and using the app responsibly. When in doubt, stick to leads who've already engaged with you.

Yes. The AI follows a sales framework informed by your business context — it qualifies leads, answers common questions, and moves deals forward. You can guide its behaviour through the app. The AI never goes off-script in a harmful direction, and every call is logged so you can review exactly what was said. You stay in control at all times.

Next Step AI's voice agent is designed with transparency in mind. If a prospect directly asks whether they're speaking to a person or an AI, the agent will not deceive them. In many regions, AI call disclosure is legally required, and responsible use means respecting that. We encourage you to be upfront with prospects about your use of AI in your outreach workflow.

No — and that's not what it's built to do. Next Step AI handles the repetitive, time-draining parts of sales: dialling, following up, writing emails, scoring leads. The closing, the relationships, the strategy — that's still you. Think of it as having a tireless assistant who handles the grunt work so you can spend your energy on the conversations that actually move money. The commission is still yours.

Every call and interaction is logged in real time. If a lead responds negatively, you'll see it immediately and can step in personally to smooth things over. The AI is built to be professional, polite, and to disengage gracefully when a prospect isn't interested. It never argues, never pressures, and always keeps the door open for a human follow-up.
