AI receptionist for mobile notaries
You're at a signing. We'll get the phone.
When you can't pick up, it answers in your business's name, asks the type of document and how many people are signing, books the appointment straight into your calendar through Cal.com, and sends you the job written down. Set up for you, on the number you already have.
Urgent, or it can wait
Signings run on deadlines: a closing, a document due tomorrow, a signer in a hospital bed. When you're at another signing, the caller needs to know you'll call back, and you need to know which call can't wait.
Marked urgent
- A signing deadline today or tomorrow
- A hospital or care-home signing
It takes their number first and tells them it's marking the call urgent. Your email arrives with URGENT in the subject. Anything you add to your own urgent list is treated the same way.
Can wait for your call back
- A signing next week
- A single document at the caller's office
- A loan signing that's already scheduled
These come through as an ordinary lead with the details written down, for when you're off the job.
On price
It won't quote your fee or say whether a document is valid. It gets the type of document, how many people are signing, and where and when the signing needs to happen.
A call it might take

What it does on a call
The same five things every time, in the order a good receptionist would. Each line here is one it's told to say.
-
It picks up in your name
Every call opens in your business's name, or with a greeting you write, and always with the recording notice, so nobody is surprised by it later.
The receptionist says: Thanks for calling Capitol Mobile Notary. Calls are recorded so we get your details right. How can I help?
-
It answers what it can
Your hours as you publish them, the towns you cover, your services, and up to 15 questions you've answered yourself. Anything else, it says you'll cover when you call back. It never guesses and never quotes a price.
The receptionist says: Alex will go over that when they call you back.
-
It asks what you'd ask
One question at a time, the way a person would. For mobile notaries: the type of document; how many people are signing; where and when the signing needs to happen. Then a name, the best number to call back on (read back once), the address, and whether it's urgent.
The receptionist says: I can take that down. What's the best number to reach you?
-
It flags the urgent ones
If it sounds urgent, it gets the number first, then marks the call urgent so it's the first thing you see. Urgent means things like a signing deadline today or tomorrow, or a hospital or care-home signing, plus anything you add to the list.
The receptionist says: Thanks. I'm marking this as urgent for Alex. How many people are signing?
-
It wraps up and sends you the job
It asks if there's anything else, once, says goodbye and hangs up. When the call ends, the job is emailed to you and saved in your Lead Inbox with the recording.
The receptionist says: Thanks for calling Capitol Mobile Notary, have a good day.
What lands in your inbox

Questions
Something not covered here? Book a demo
What does it ask your callers?
One question at a time: the type of document; how many people are signing; where and when the signing needs to happen. Then a name, the best number to call back on, where the work is, and whether it's urgent. You can also give it answers to the questions your callers ask most.
What does it treat as urgent?
A signing deadline today or tomorrow or a hospital or care-home signing, plus anything you add to your own list. It takes the caller's number first, then marks the call urgent, so it's the first thing you see.
Will it give my callers advice?
No. Its rules for mobile notaries include: Never give legal advice or say whether a document is valid or what it should say.
What does it cost?
$49 a month, with 150 minutes of calls. If you go over, it switches to taking messages instead of charging you more, and answers in full again when your minutes reset, on the same date each month. A busier line can have 400 minutes for $99 a month. Setup is included.
Will callers know it's an AI?
It never pretends to be a person. Every call starts by saying the call is recorded, and if a caller asks whether they're talking to a real person, it tells them straight away that it's an AI assistant taking details for you.
Can it book appointments?
Yes. Link your Cal.com account and it offers callers your open slots and books them straight into your calendar. It asks for the caller's email, because Cal.com needs one to make the booking.
Do I keep my phone number?
Yes. You dial one code on your own phone so the calls you miss go to your receptionist, and another code turns it off. Your number never changes.
Are calls recorded?
Yes. Every call starts by telling the caller it's recorded, and you can play the recording and read the transcript from the lead. Rules about recording calls vary by state, and you're responsible for the ones that apply where you work.
