An answering service takes messages. Lumina takes action.
Old-school answering services charge per minute to read a script and take a message. They don't know your services, can't book appointments, can't collect deposits, and can't follow up. Lumina is trained on your business, books the appointment in the conversation, collects the deposit, sends consent forms, and follows up automatically — for a flat monthly price.

Questions about switching
How is this different from an answering service?
An answering service takes a message and hangs up. Lumina answers as your business, books the appointment, and collects the deposit in the same conversation.
Does she handle after-hours?
Yes — 24/7/365. She answers every call and text the moment it comes in, day or night.
What about cost?
Lumina starts at $297/mo flat. Answering services bill per minute, so a busy week can cost more than a month of Lumina.
