If I sign up today, how fast can I go live?

Under 24 hours. When you sign up today, the done-for-you team builds your Ava the same day in most cases, and you go live with your AI receptionist fast — usually answering real calls the next morning.

There's no software to install, no number to change, and no waiting on a technician to visit. You share a few details, we build, you approve, and forwarding flips on.

What "under 24 hours" actually means

Here's the sequence once you sign up:

1. You send a short intake — company name, services, service area, hours, and how you want jobs booked.
2. We build Ava — your greeting, your intake questions, your booking rules, your name pronounced right.
3. You review and approve — call the line yourself, run a broken-spring or trapped-car scenario, and confirm she sounds like your shop.
4. You flip forwarding on — unanswered or all calls route to Ava in seconds. That's live.

Most of the clock is us doing the work, not you. The part that depends on you is small: getting us the intake and giving the build a quick approval.

What can slow it down

The build is fast. The two things that stretch it are on your side:

• How quickly you send the intake. We can't build until we know your services and hours.
• How quickly you approve. Some owners want to test a dozen scenarios first — that's smart, and it's your call.

If you're forwarding from a cell phone or a VoIP system like RingCentral, the setup is the same — forwarding works the same way across landline, cell, and VoIP. No porting, no carrier changes.

If you want the full picture of what onboarding looks like day by day, see what happens during your first week, and for the number question, whether porting is ever needed.
