- zTech assistant: Thanks for calling Elm Street Plumbing, this is the after-hours line. How can I help?
- Caller: Hi, my water heater is leaking all over the basement.
- zTech assistant: Sorry, that sounds stressful. What's your name and address so the on-call tech can reach you?
- Caller: Dana Ruiz, 14 Fulton St in Medford.
- zTech assistant: Got it, Dana. I've marked this urgent and texted the on-call tech. Expect a call back in a few minutes.
Your phone keeps a list of the jobs you didn't get.
You can't answer while you're under a sink, in a chair-side appointment, or asleep. Your customers don't wait. They call the next name on the list.
- Missed call 2:14 PM Calls go to voicemail while you're with a customer.
- Missed call 8:52 PM After-hours callers move on to the next business.
- 3 follow-ups due Last week Follow-ups and reviews slip through the cracks.
What zTech sets up for you
Pick one, or put them together. Each one runs in the background, with your name on it.
-
After-hours & overflow call answering
An AI receptionist answers when you can't, takes down the details, and texts you the urgent calls.
-
Missed-call text-back
Every missed caller gets a text in seconds, so they reply to you instead of calling a competitor.
-
Booking & intake
Customers pick a time and fill in their details before they arrive, connected to the calendar and tools you already use.
-
Reviews & reactivation
Review requests go out after each job, and past customers get a friendly check-in when it's time.
-
Custom AI tools
Document processing, chatbots, internal automations. If it's repetitive, we can probably help.
- Read intake forms and fill in your system
- Answer website questions at 2 AM
- Turn job notes into invoices
Do the voicemail math.
Move the sliders to match your business. These are your numbers, not ours. It's rough math, not a promise.

Why "z"? We save the best for last.
Z is the last letter, and the one we fall asleep to. So that's the deal: you catch the Zs, we catch the calls.
Hi, I'm Ikechukwu.
I'm a software developer in the Boston area, and I started zTech to bring the same AI tools big companies use to local businesses, built around how you actually work.
When you work with zTech, you talk to me directly. No call center, no ticket number.

Questions owners ask
Will it sound robotic?
It uses a natural voice and follows a script you write with us and approve. You decide what it says, and what happens when a caller asks for a person.
Do I need to change my phone system?
Usually not. Most setups keep your number and forward missed or after-hours calls to the assistant. We check what you have during the audit.
What does it cost?
It depends on what you need. Most projects start with a small setup fee and a monthly plan. The audit is free and you'll get a clear quote.
What if a call is urgent?
You decide what counts as urgent. When a call matches, the assistant texts you or your on-call person right away with the name, number, and problem.
Is my customer data safe?
We use vendors that sign BAAs for healthcare, keep only the data needed to do the job, and never sell it. Our privacy policy explains it in plain words.
