The silent leak in your monthly revenue
Solo owners lose hundreds to thousands of euros every month to missed calls.
Hair salon

≈ 15 missed calls/wk × €45
Plumber

What this is costing you this month
€0/month
Based on what you told us above.
And this is just one month. Each missed call doesn't just cost a single appointment — it costs the lifetime value of that customer. Callers who don't get through go to a competitor, and most don't come back.

Cancel any time · no contract
You keep this month
€0
€45/appointment (hair · nails · wellness) × 55% booking rate, based on your own input. Adjust for your ticket size by picking a different industry. Lifetime value depends on your repeat rate — the longer a customer stays, the bigger the real cost of missing them at the first call.
“But do I have to buy a second phone?”
No. You keep your own number — one short code, done.
Just like turning on voicemail. Works on every UK and Irish carrier — EE, O2, Vodafone, Three, Eir, GoMo. No new SIM, no second handset, no contract elsewhere.
Your own number
Keep your familiar mobile. No new SIM, no new carrier, no number-porting hassle.
One code on your mobile
Tap it in like you would for voicemail. No installer, no developer, no agency required.
Nothing extra to buy
No second phone, no extra subscription. Your current handset is enough.

Tirza
Hi, you're speaking with the AI receptionist for John's Plumbing. I help with booking appointments. Would you prefer John to call you back? I can arrange that right now. - C
Caller
No it's fine, I've got a slow leak under the kitchen sink. Can someone come out? - T
Tirza
Sorry to hear that. Have you been able to turn the main valve off? And is it near any electrics? - C
Caller
Valve is off, it's well clear of the sockets. - T
Tirza
Good. John has Thursday 2:30pm free, or Friday 10am. Which works better? - C
Caller
Thursday at half two is perfect. Mark Wilson, 07712 345 678. - T
Tirza
Booked. Thursday 2:30pm with John. You'll get the text confirmation within a minute. Take care, Mark.

Live · 24/7 reachable
Works every day, including evenings and weekends.
Meet her
This is Tirza.
Tirza is a digital receptionist who answers on your behalf. She sounds human, knows your business and your calendar, and knows exactly how to talk to your customers — warm, clear, with no robot feel. She works 24/7. She never forgets. She never gets tired.
Tirza stays behind the scenes. Your customers hear your business name — ‘Tirza’ only appears in your dashboard. You are and remain the face of your business.
Picks up every call
Even at 9:30pm, on weekends, or when your hands are full.
Doesn't wait on you
She books straight into your Google Calendar — no extra step.
Honestly says she isn't human
At the start of every call. Customers can always ask for you.
You stay in charge
One tap on your dashboard and Tirza is paused.
How it works
Three steps.
No manual.
Set Tirza up once — keep your own number, tap one short code on your mobile. After that she picks up whenever you don't.
She introduces herself as an AI, understands the request, and offers only real free slots — from your calendar if connected, or your set hours if not.
SMS · Confirm by SMS
Sarah, Thu 14:00, Leak repair. Reply YES to confirm.
✓ You replied YES · caller texted back
Or Google Calendar
Thu 23 Apr
One SMS to you, one SMS to the caller. Or — if you've connected Google Calendar — straight into the calendar. Your choice. All while you're working.
Always under your control
You decide.
Always.
Tirza only works as long as you want her to. Pause in one tap — back on in one tap. No contract, no hassle, no hidden tech in the background.
On — live
Tirza picks up
Off — paused
Caller gets voicemail
One tap on your dashboard switches between these two. Always.
Reply OK · WRONG · PAUSE · LIVE by SMS
After every call you get a summary text. Reply with one word — no app, no login. PAUSE stops Tirza, LIVE switches her back on. Built for owners who don't open dashboards.
Daily 6pm summary text
"Today: 4 calls, 2 appointments, 1 callback." One message, end of day, you always know.
Customers can always ask for you
Trigger words "human · manager · owner · call me back", emotional cues "frustrated · upset · urgent · emergency · serious · important", or three refusals in a row — any of these, Tirza stops the booking flow and routes to callback.
Test call required before Go LIVE
The Go LIVE button stays locked until you've done one successful test call yourself. Safety gate, not a billing trick.
Spam blocklist · learns from you
Reply WRONG to a sales-call notification and that caller is auto-added to your blocklist. Tirza learns what's real and what's noise.
Low confidence after 2 attempts → automatic callback
If Tirza isn't sure what she heard, she asks once for clarification. Still unclear? She stops the booking flow on the spot and turns it into a callback request. Better a clean callback than a wrong appointment booked at 2am.
60-second whisper-confirm SMS
Within a minute of every booking you get a one-line check: "Sarah · Thu 14:00 · boiler service — reply YES or correct." Owner-side double-check no other voice-AI does.
Voice-quality auto-fallback
Tirza watches early-hangup rates per voice. If a voice starts dropping calls, she rotates to a backup voice automatically and texts you what changed.
Failed-call rescue within 10 min
If Tirza couldn't complete a call, you get a proactive SMS within 10 minutes with the caller details — and the option to switch into safe-mode (callback-only) until you check it.
Audit trail on every call
Every input, output, decision, model and timestamp is stored append-only. If a caller ever disputes a booking — or a regulator asks — the answer is one query away. Required for the EU AI Act, valuable for you.
Strict caller-experience rules
Max one question at a time. Never says "I'm sorry, as an AI…". Never argues. Never upsells. Ends gracefully within 5 minutes, or after 10 seconds of silence.
Your business name comes first
Customers always hear your business name. Not 'Tirza', not some unfamiliar brand.
Max 5 min · 10s silence cutoff · 3 calls/day per caller
No endless calls. If a caller goes silent for 10 seconds Tirza closes politely. Same caller can't run up your bill — limit is 3 in 24 hours. UK + Ireland numbers whitelisted; international blocked.
Built in Europe — core data in EU
Your business profile, calendar bookings, transcripts and the audit log live in Frankfurt (EU). Live voice + AI processing transits SCC-protected US partners (Retell, ElevenLabs, Anthropic) — full breakdown on /subprocessors. Recordings auto-delete after 30-90 days, depending on plan.
What you get in writing
Three hard guarantees.
No small print.
Tirza is at the start — real customer stories will follow after launch. Until then: a personal promise from the founder, a hard guarantee, and a publicly verifiable price comparison.
The founder
We're building Tirza for solo owners who don't have a developer or an agency. That's why: ON/OFF switch, cancel yourself, hard €15 cap. At the cap Tirza takes callback requests — callers never hear silence. No small print. If something doesn't work, I'll ring you back personally.
Rene · founder of Tirza
The trial
14 free days. Pause or cancel with one tap, no annual contract, no hassle. We text you on day 3 to make sure your forwarding + test call worked — if not, we ring you and fix it.
14-day trial · no surprises
The benchmark
A human answering service in the EU costs €200–€400 per month. Tirza starts at €39 per month — same reachability, fraction of the price.

Honest disqualifiers
Tirza isn't for you if…
We'd rather you keep your money than land a customer who'll churn in week three. If any of these four sound like you, we're probably not the right fit.
You already have someone in the office
If a receptionist, partner, or assistant already picks up your calls — Tirza doesn't add value. We're built for the solo owner who picks up the phone themselves.
You take 5+ inbound calls a day
Past that volume you'll outgrow the appointment cap fast. A part-time human PA is probably more cost-effective than our overage rate.
Your calls route to different departments
Sales · Service · Accounts · Returns — Tirza is a single-receptionist tool, not a phone tree. If you need IVR, look elsewhere.
You need a fully bespoke receptionist build
If your flow needs custom logic or multi-step approvals between systems — that's an agency build at thousands of pounds. Tirza is the DIY tool, on purpose.
What's protected
You pay for the
calls she handles.
Tirza answers when you can't. If she's not sure, she takes a message. You stay in control. Most solos (plumber · hair salon · physio · coach) handle 20–40 calls per month — Solo is built for exactly that. No surprise overage.

How the 14-day trial works
Sign up with a payment method
Card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. We don't charge yet — this is just so the trial can roll into a paid month if you want it to.
Clock starts after your first test call
The 14 days is real live time, not setup time. Test from your own mobile, hear how Tirza sounds, then she goes live and the fortnight begins.
Day-3 check-in, never silent failure
On day 3 we text you to make sure your forwarding + test call still work. If anything looks off, we ring you and fix it — no support ticket required.
Cancel any moment from your dashboard, no questions asked. No annual contract.
No surprise bills. Ever.
Warning at 80%
Email + SMS as soon as you hit 80% of your plan, so you can choose what happens next.
Cap at €15 a month
€0.89 per extra call handled, capped at €15/mo. At the cap, Tirza takes callback requests instead — your callers still hear “we'll ring you back”, never silence.
Top up any time
Add a 5-pack (€4.45) or 10-pack (€8.90) of extra calls. You've got 30 days to use them.
What counts as a call handled? Every call of at least 30 seconds where Tirza handles a booking, callback, or question. Hang-ups and wrong numbers don't count.

Frequently asked
Everything you wonder.
Honestly answered.
Yes. You keep your familiar mobile. We send you a short code to dial on your phone (just like turning on voicemail). From then on: Tirza only picks up when you don't answer, or always, or only outside business hours. You choose — and turn her off again with one tap. No new SIM, no second phone, no new carrier.
No. No code, no commands, no jargon. You enter your business info (name, hours, your services), pick how Tirza confirms bookings (by SMS — most solos pick this — or by connecting Google Calendar), and tap a short forwarding code on your phone — that's it. We built Tirza so a 60-year-old without tech experience can get her live in 5 minutes.
Setup costs plus a monthly fee, plus weeks to months of waiting while a developer builds it. Get a few quotes if you want to compare — you'll see the difference straight away. What we do differently: you do it yourself, today, from £39 / €39 per month.
First 50 customers get a safety net via email or a 15-minute video call — only if you ask. After that: hello@tirza.ai answers within 24 hours. We made setup so simple that this is almost never needed.
Tirza sorts them smartly: Price · Other service · Urgent · Other. For 'Urgent' you get an instant SMS, for the rest an email. So you know what's priority without having to read every transcript.
At 80% of your appointments you get an email and SMS. Going over costs £0.89 / €0.89 per extra appointment, capped at £15 / €15 per month. At the cap, Tirza takes callback requests instead — your callers still hear 'we'll ring you back', never silence. Need extras? Buy a 5-pack (£4.45 / €4.45) or 10-pack (£8.90 / €8.90) of extra appointments any time. The £15 / €15 cap is on from day one — your trial can't run up a surprise bill either.
Every conversation of at least 30 seconds where Tirza handles something for you: a booking, a callback request, or answering a customer question. Hangups and wrong numbers don't count.
Yes — both by SMS and email. The message contains the date, time, your business name, and a 'Cancel' link so they can self-cancel without calling. You get a notification right away if someone cancels.
Then she says: 'I'll make sure [you] call back' and notes name + number + reason. You get an SMS straight away. Tirza never invents appointments — when in doubt, she turns it into a callback request.
Yes. Tirza opens every call with: 'Hi, you're speaking with the AI receptionist for [business name]. I help with booking appointments. Would you prefer [owner name] to call you back? I can arrange that right now.' Honest and legally required. In practice, callers mainly find it pleasant that someone picks up.
You sign up with a payment method. The trial clock only starts after your first successful test call — so the 14 days is real live time, not setup time. On day 3 we text you to make sure your forwarding + test call worked; if not, we ring you and fix it. Cancel any moment from your dashboard, no questions asked.
One switch on your dashboard turns her off. Always. Cancel any month, no annual contract hassle. Tirza answers when you can't. If she's not sure, she takes a message. You stay in control.
She's been built with strict rules: max one question at a time, never says "I'm sorry, as an AI…", never pretends to be human, ends gracefully within 5 minutes, and stops talking on 10 seconds of silence. If a caller asks for a human, owner, manager, or a callback — or sounds frustrated, upset, urgent, angry or says "emergency" — she immediately stops the booking flow and offers a callback. Three refusals in a row ("no / not interested / stop") also auto-route to callback. She'll never argue, never upsell, and never explain herself unless asked.
No — and that's deliberate. Tirza is for the moments you can't pick up (hands in the pipe, with a client, on the road). If you could answer, you would. For returning customers she recognises, she'll send you a priority SMS so you can call them back yourself. That's smarter than a live transfer that interrupts what you're doing.
Yes. After every call you get an SMS summary. Reply OK if it was handled correctly, WRONG if something was off, PAUSE to stop Tirza immediately, or LIVE to switch her back on. Plus a daily summary at 6pm: "Today: 4 calls, 2 appointments, 1 callback. Reply LIVE/PAUSE." No dashboard required.
Yes. If a caller says "whenever's first", "as soon as possible" or "the first available", Tirza checks your free slots (from your calendar if connected, or against the hours you set) and offers the next real opening — no back-and-forth needed.
No problem. Tirza's default is to confirm every booking by SMS — you reply YES, she texts the caller back. No digital calendar required. If you use Apple Calendar / iPhone Calendar instead of Google, you can also subscribe to your bookings as a phone-calendar feed (coming week 3 — we'll email when it's ready).
Optional. Set it up in your dashboard with a short price list (e.g. "Boiler service £75 · Bathroom callout from £120"). When a caller asks "what does X cost?", Tirza offers to text the price list to their mobile. You stay in control: if the toggle is off, Tirza simply says "I'd rather have [you] confirm the price" and books a callback.
Built in Europe. Your business profile, calendar bookings, transcripts and the evidence log all live in Frankfurt (EU). Live voice + language processing transits SCC-protected US partners (Retell, ElevenLabs, Anthropic) — full breakdown on /subprocessors. Callers are told at the start of every call that they're speaking to an AI. Recordings auto-delete after 30 days (Solo) or 90 days (Pro).
Another question? hello@tirza.ai — we reply within a day.
Honest, before you sign up
Tirza might not be your fit if…
- →You've already got 5+ people on the books and need calls routed between them.
- →You need calls routed to different departments with menus and escalation rules.
- →You already have someone picking up in the office during business hours.
- →You want a fully bespoke setup — a custom script per customer type, your own CRM connected, your brand across every page.
Those are real and valid needs — and a voice-AI agency or human answering service is genuinely the right fit. Tirza is built for solo owners who pick up the phone themselves and want one simple tool to take over when they can't.
