Getting Started
What is the MyFast.ai Smart AI Voice Agent?
The MyFast.ai Smart AI Voice Agent is an AI-powered phone answering service that answers every call to your business 24/7. It is custom-trained on your specific business details—services, pricing, availability, and policies—so it sounds like a real member of your team. It handles inquiries, qualifies leads, and books appointments directly on your calendar.
Is MyFast.ai a website builder or app builder?
No. MyFast.ai is an AI phone answering service — a Smart AI Voice Agent that answers your business phone calls 24/7, books appointments, answers questions, and captures leads. It is not a website builder, an app builder, a fasting app, or a general AI content tool, and it is not affiliated with Fastly. MyFast.ai is purpose-built for service businesses such as HVAC, plumbing, dental, legal, and home services that rely on phone calls to win customers.
How is the AI Voice Agent trained on my business?
After you sign up, the MyFast.ai team handles 100% of the setup. They train the AI on your services, pricing, business hours, FAQs, scheduling preferences, and any special instructions. The entire onboarding is done for you—no technical skills needed.
How quickly can I get started?
Setup is fast. After signing up, the MyFast.ai team builds and trains your custom AI Voice Agent. Most businesses are fully live within a few days. You just provide your business details and they handle everything else.
How do I get started with MyFast.ai?
Getting started is simple: call 1-888-312-8088 or book a free setup call on the website. The MyFast.ai team will walk you through everything, build your custom AI Voice Agent, and have you live in days. Setup is 100% done for you at no extra charge.
What areas does MyFast.ai serve?
MyFast.ai provides AI phone answering for businesses across the United States. Wherever your business is located, the AI Voice Agent answers your calls 24/7 with a dedicated business phone number.
Do I need any technical skills to use MyFast.ai?
No. Setup is 100% done for you. The MyFast.ai team builds, trains, and configures your Smart AI Voice Agent based on the details you provide about your business. You do not install software, write scripts, or manage any technology. You simply forward your calls and start receiving booked appointments and lead notifications.
What information do you need from me to build my AI Voice Agent?
The essentials: the services you offer, your service area, your business hours, how you want appointments scheduled, your pricing or estimate policy, the most common questions your callers ask, and how you want urgent calls handled. The MyFast.ai team walks you through all of it on your setup call and handles the rest.
Can I hear the AI Voice Agent before I sign up?
Yes. Call 1-888-312-8088 and you will speak directly with a MyFast.ai Smart AI Voice Agent. It is the fastest way to hear exactly how natural the conversation sounds before you commit to anything.
What happens on the free setup call?
You speak with a real person, not a sales bot. You walk through how your business handles calls today, where calls are being missed, what you want the AI to say and do, and how appointments should be booked. There is no obligation and no pressure.
How long does onboarding take from signup to live?
Most businesses are fully live within a few days of signing up. The timeline depends mainly on how quickly you provide your business details and confirm the call flow you want.
How It Works
How does the AI Voice Agent answer my business phone calls?
When a customer calls your business number, the AI Voice Agent picks up instantly—no hold music, no voicemail. It greets the caller professionally, answers their questions using your business information, and can schedule appointments in real time. It works around the clock, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
What exactly happens on a call from start to finish?
The AI Voice Agent answers on the first rings, greets the caller with your business name, listens and responds naturally, answers questions from your trained knowledge, qualifies the caller, books an appointment on your calendar when appropriate, and then sends you a notification with the caller details and a summary of the conversation.
Do I get notified after each call?
Yes. After every call you receive the caller details and a summary of what was discussed, so you always know who called, what they needed, and what was booked, even if you never touched the phone.
Can the AI Voice Agent qualify leads before they reach me?
Yes. The agent is trained to ask your qualifying questions such as service needed, location, timeline, and budget range, so the leads that reach your team are already screened and worth your time.
What happens if a caller asks for a price or a quote?
The agent follows the pricing policy you set during onboarding. It can quote fixed prices, give a range, explain your estimate process, or book an on-site estimate instead. You decide exactly how much pricing information the agent shares.
Does the AI Voice Agent handle Spanish or other languages?
Language handling is configured during your setup call. Tell the MyFast.ai team which languages your callers use and they will confirm what your agent can support for your business before you go live.
Features & Capabilities
Can the AI Voice Agent book appointments on my calendar?
Yes. The AI Voice Agent integrates directly with your calendar and booking system. When a caller wants to schedule, the agent checks your real-time availability and books the appointment on the spot—no back-and-forth, no missed opportunities.
Does the AI sound robotic or natural?
The AI Voice Agent uses advanced conversational AI technology to sound natural and professional. It is trained on your specific business tone and terminology, so callers experience a seamless, human-like conversation.
What happens to calls after hours or on holidays?
The AI Voice Agent answers every call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year—including nights, weekends, and holidays. You never miss a call or a potential customer, even when your office is closed.
Will I get a dedicated phone number?
Yes. Every MyFast.ai customer receives a dedicated business phone number as part of their plan. You can forward your existing business line to it or use it as your primary number.
Can the AI Voice Agent handle emergency or urgent calls?
Yes. The AI Voice Agent is trained on your business rules, so it can recognize urgent situations, gather the right details, and notify you or your on-call team in real time so emergencies get the fast response they need.
Does the AI Voice Agent work with my existing scheduling and booking system?
Yes. The AI Voice Agent books appointments directly to your calendar and works with your existing booking workflow. During your done-for-you setup, the MyFast.ai team configures the agent to match how you schedule jobs and appointments.
Can the AI Voice Agent transfer calls to me or my team?
Yes. When a caller needs a person or a situation calls for human judgment, the AI Voice Agent can route or transfer the call and notify your team, so important calls always reach the right place.
How many calls can the AI Voice Agent handle at the same time?
Unlimited. Unlike a human receptionist or a traditional answering service that can only take one call at a time, the AI Voice Agent answers unlimited simultaneous calls, so you never get a busy signal, even during a rush or a storm surge of calls.
Do I have to change my current business phone number?
No. Every plan includes a dedicated business phone number, and you can simply forward your existing line to it or use the new number as your primary. Your customers keep calling the same way they always have.
Can I choose the voice and name of my AI Voice Agent?
Yes. You can choose a natural-sounding male or female voice and give your agent a name. It is trained on your business tone and terminology so it represents your brand consistently on every call.
What happens if the AI cannot answer a caller's question?
The AI Voice Agent is trained on your services, pricing, policies, and FAQs so it confidently handles the vast majority of calls. If something falls outside what it knows, it captures the caller's details and notifies you in real time so you can follow up quickly. No lead is ever lost to voicemail.
Can the AI Voice Agent take messages?
Yes. When a call does not result in a booking, the agent captures the caller name, number, reason for calling, and any details you want collected, then sends it to you immediately so you can follow up while the lead is still hot.
Does the AI Voice Agent work on weekends and holidays?
Yes. Coverage is 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, including nights, weekends, and every holiday. There is no extra charge for after-hours or holiday coverage.
Can the AI Voice Agent handle repeat and existing customers?
Yes. The agent handles calls from existing customers the same way it handles new ones: answering questions about your services, scheduling follow-up work, and routing anything that needs a person to your team.
Can I update what the AI Voice Agent says after we go live?
Yes. Your agent is not locked in. As your prices, hours, services, or policies change, the MyFast.ai team updates your agent so it always gives callers current, accurate information.
Is there a limit on how many calls or minutes are included?
There is no cap and no minute bucket you can outgrow, so no call is ever turned away and there is no busy signal. Call volume does affect cost, though: the AI usage those calls generate is billed on top of the $499 base subscription, so a busier month means a higher usage charge. A typical small business sees $100 to $200 per month in AI usage. If you expect a large jump in call volume, tell the team and they will help you estimate it in advance.
Pricing & Billing
How much does the AI Voice Agent cost?
Pricing has two parts. The base subscription is $499 per month, currently 50% off the regular $999 per month, and it covers your custom-trained Smart AI Voice Agent, 24/7/365 coverage, appointment booking, lead qualification, a dedicated business phone number and done-for-you setup. On top of that you pay for the AI usage your calls generate, so the more calls your business takes, the higher that portion is. A typical small business should expect $100 to $200 per month in AI usage, which puts most small businesses at roughly $599 to $699 per month in total. Larger businesses and higher call volumes incur more usage cost.
Is there a contract or cancellation fee?
No. MyFast.ai operates on a month-to-month basis with no long-term contracts and no cancellation fees. You can cancel anytime. There are also no setup fees or hidden charges.
What is the Price Lock Forever guarantee?
The Price Lock Forever guarantee applies to your base subscription rate. The base rate you sign up at ($499 per month during the current promotion) will never increase for as long as you remain a customer, even after the promotion ends. AI usage is separate from the base subscription and varies with your call volume, so that part of your bill moves up or down with how many calls you take.
What is included in the $499 per month base subscription?
The base subscription covers your custom-trained Smart AI Voice Agent, 24/7/365 coverage, unlimited simultaneous calls so nobody gets a busy signal, appointment booking, lead qualification and capture, call summaries and notifications, a dedicated business phone number, done-for-you setup and training, ongoing updates as your business changes, and the Price Lock Forever guarantee on that base rate. What it does not cover is AI usage, which is billed on top and scales with how many calls you take.
What is the AI usage cost and how much should I expect?
AI usage is the cost of the AI actually handling your calls, and it is billed on top of the $499 per month base subscription. It scales with call volume, so the more calls your business receives, the higher it is. A typical small business should expect $100 to $200 per month in AI usage, which works out to roughly $599 to $699 per month in total. Larger businesses, agencies, multi-location operations and anyone with high call volume will incur more. If you know roughly how many calls you take a month, the team can walk you through what to expect before you sign up.
Does my bill change from month to month?
The $499 base subscription is fixed and is locked forever at the rate you join on. The AI usage portion varies with your call volume, so a busy month costs more than a slow one. That is the honest answer: MyFast.ai is not an all-in flat rate. Most small businesses land in a $100 to $200 per month usage range, and you can see your usage rather than guess at it.
Are there any setup fees or hidden charges?
There are no setup fees, no onboarding fees, no cancellation fees, no minimum term, no per-seat fees and no after-hours or holiday surcharge. There is one cost beyond the $499 base subscription and it is not hidden: AI usage, billed on top and scaling with your call volume, typically $100 to $200 per month for a small business.
How do I cancel if it is not right for my business?
MyFast.ai is month to month. You can cancel at any time with no cancellation fee and no long-term contract to unwind. Contact [email protected] or call 1-888-312-8088 and the team will take care of it.
How long does the 50% off promotional price last?
The current promotion sets the base subscription at $499 per month, half of the regular $999 per month rate. If you sign up while the promotion is running, the Price Lock Forever guarantee keeps your base rate there for as long as you remain a customer, even after the promotion ends. AI usage is billed separately on top and is not part of the promotion.
What payment methods do you accept?
Payments are processed securely through Stripe. Your card details are handled by Stripe and never stored on MyFast.ai servers.
Industries We Serve
What types of businesses does MyFast.ai work best for?
MyFast.ai is built specifically for service businesses including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, landscaping, pest control, cleaning services, auto repair, dental offices, medical practices, law firms, real estate agencies, salons, spas, and any business that relies on phone calls to book appointments and capture leads.
Does MyFast.ai work for HVAC, plumbing, and home service contractors?
Absolutely. MyFast.ai is purpose-built for home service and trades businesses like HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, landscaping, pest control, cleaning, and auto repair. The AI Voice Agent answers every call, books estimates and service appointments, and captures leads while your crews are on the job.
Does MyFast.ai work for dental offices, medical practices, and law firms?
Yes. MyFast.ai serves dental offices, medical practices, law firms, and real estate agencies. The AI Voice Agent handles new patient and client intake, answers common questions, and books consultations. MyFast.ai is HIPAA-ready with enterprise-grade security including SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001.
Does MyFast.ai work for roofing, landscaping, and pest control companies?
Yes. Roofing, landscaping, pest control, and cleaning companies are a strong fit because their crews are in the field all day and calls go unanswered. The AI Voice Agent answers every call, books estimates and service visits, and captures storm-surge or seasonal demand that would otherwise go to a competitor.
Does MyFast.ai work for salons, barbershops, and med spas?
Yes. For salons, barbershops, and med spas the AI Voice Agent answers while your team is with clients, books and reschedules appointments, answers service and pricing questions, and reduces no-shows by making it easy for clients to reach you at any hour.
Does MyFast.ai work for real estate agents and property managers?
Yes. The AI Voice Agent answers listing and showing inquiries the moment they come in, qualifies buyers, renters, and maintenance requests, and books appointments to your calendar so you never lose a lead while you are in a showing or a closing.
Does MyFast.ai work for auto repair shops?
Yes. Auto repair shops use the AI Voice Agent to answer while technicians are under the hood: scheduling service appointments, answering questions about services and hours, and capturing every caller instead of sending them to voicemail.
Is MyFast.ai only for small businesses?
No. MyFast.ai works for solo operators, growing multi-truck and multi-location service businesses, and professional practices. Because the agent answers unlimited simultaneous calls, it scales with your call volume without adding staff.
Comparisons
How is MyFast.ai different from a traditional answering service or call center?
A traditional answering service uses shared human operators who mostly take messages from a script and often charge per minute or per call. The MyFast.ai Smart AI Voice Agent answers instantly, holds a natural conversation trained on your business, books appointments in real time, and captures leads 24/7 with no hold times. On cost, the difference is structural rather than a claim that MyFast.ai has no usage cost: traditional services bill you per operator minute or per call for the answering work itself, while MyFast.ai charges a fixed $499 per month base subscription plus the AI usage your calls generate, typically $100 to $200 per month for a small business.
Is an AI receptionist better than hiring a receptionist?
An in-house receptionist typically costs $35,000 to $65,000 or more per year, works limited hours, and can only take one call at a time. The MyFast.ai AI Voice Agent works 24/7/365, answers unlimited calls at once, never takes a sick day, and costs $499 per month for the base subscription plus AI usage, which is typically $100 to $200 per month for a small business. That puts most small businesses in the $599 to $699 per month range. It handles the calls, booking, and lead capture so your team can focus on the work.
How does MyFast.ai pricing compare to other AI answering services?
Many AI answering services charge per minute (around $0.05 to $0.50/min), per call ($1 to $5/call), or add overage fees once you exceed included minutes. MyFast.ai separates the two: a fixed $499 per month base subscription (currently 50% off the regular $999) that covers the platform, the custom training, the dedicated number and the done-for-you setup, plus the AI usage your calls generate, which scales with call volume and runs about $100 to $200 per month for a typical small business. Your base rate is locked forever and there are no setup fees or contracts, but your total bill does move with your call volume, and we would rather tell you that up front than surprise you.
Will an AI answering service really pay for itself?
For most service businesses, yes. A single missed call can be a lost job worth hundreds or thousands of dollars, and studies show businesses miss 20 to 48 percent of inbound calls. Because the AI Voice Agent captures every call 24/7, recovering one or two jobs a month typically covers a small business bill of roughly $599 to $699 per month, which is the $499 base subscription plus $100 to $200 in typical AI usage.
AI receptionist vs voicemail: which is better for my business?
Voicemail loses customers. Most callers who reach voicemail hang up and call the next business on the list rather than leaving a message. An AI receptionist answers live, holds a real conversation, and books the appointment, so the call turns into revenue instead of a missed opportunity.
How does MyFast.ai compare to a virtual receptionist service?
A virtual receptionist service uses shared human agents, typically bills per minute or per call, and has limited hours or higher rates after hours. MyFast.ai answers 24/7, never puts callers on hold, handles unlimited calls at once, and books appointments directly to your calendar. Cost is structured differently: a fixed $499 per month base subscription plus AI usage that scales with call volume, typically $100 to $200 per month for a small business, instead of per-operator-minute billing for the answering work itself.
Why not just use my mobile phone and call people back?
Because speed decides who wins the job. When a caller does not reach a person, they usually call the next business immediately. Calling back hours later often means the work is already booked elsewhere. The AI Voice Agent answers instantly, every time, so the lead never gets a chance to leave.
Can MyFast.ai replace my current answering service?
For most service businesses, yes. Businesses commonly switch from a traditional answering service to get rid of hold times, message-only handling and per-operator-minute billing for every call. Book a free setup call and the MyFast.ai team will walk through your current call flow and tell you honestly whether it is a fit.
Security & Compliance
Is my business data secure?
Yes. MyFast.ai uses 256-bit SSL encryption, is PCI DSS compliant, GDPR and CCPA compliant, SOC 2 Type II certified, ISO 27001 certified, and HIPAA-ready. All data is encrypted and stored securely in the cloud with 99.9% uptime.
How is my customer call data protected?
All data is encrypted in transit with 256-bit SSL and stored securely in the cloud. MyFast.ai maintains PCI DSS compliance for payment handling, GDPR and CCPA compliance for privacy, SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 security practices, and is HIPAA-ready for healthcare-adjacent businesses.
Is MyFast.ai HIPAA compliant for medical and dental practices?
MyFast.ai is HIPAA-ready and used by dental offices and medical practices for intake and scheduling. If your practice handles protected health information, raise it on your setup call so the team can configure your agent and paperwork appropriately for your requirements.
Do you sell or share my business or caller data?
No. Your business information and your callers’ information are used to operate your service, not sold to third parties. Full details are in the MyFast.ai Privacy Policy.
What is your uptime and what happens if there is an outage?
The platform is built for 99.9% uptime on redundant cloud infrastructure so your line stays answered. Your call flow is configured during onboarding so calls always have a defined path.
Are calls recorded, and do you follow calling regulations?
Call handling, recording, and disclosure settings are configured during your onboarding to match how you want calls handled and the requirements that apply to your business and state. Raise any specific requirement on your setup call and it will be configured before you go live.
