Ringo & Crew — AI Front Office for Home-Service Pros

*Source: Invoca research on calls to home-services businesses. Industry figures vary; we'll look at your own missed calls on the demo.

Who is Ringo?

Ringo answers your phone. The crew does the rest.

Ringo is your AI receptionist. He picks up every call in a friendly, natural voice, using your company's name, and runs a crew of AI helpers behind him:

Ringo answers every call, day or night, spots emergencies and gets the details.
Cal, Tex and Rita book the job, text back missed callers, and keep you posted.
The rest of the crew follows up on quotes, collects payments and gets you reviews, depending on your plan.

You talk to one company, Ringo & Crew, and one person, Bob, who sets it all up.

About

Built and supported by Bob Hanson, a local IT pro.

Ringo & Crew is a brand-new Denver-metro business, launching in 2026. It's run by Bob Hanson out of Commerce City, Colorado.

Bob is a hands-on IT pro who fixes the root cause so problems stay fixed. For 8 years he ran site IT for SLB (Schlumberger) in the Denver area, supporting a 4,500-user operation. He cut a 500–600 ticket backlog to under 100 in a month and led a 7,500-user Office 365 migration that finished 2 months early with 97% adoption.

Most recently he ran Microsoft 365, Entra ID and Okta on SambaSafety's Global IT team, automated onboarding with PowerShell, led a Claude Code rollout, and built AI agents and connectors that automate IT work. Earlier: network and systems work on a U.S. Air Force contract with BAE Systems, IT director for two hospitals, and oilfield automation engineering. He holds an M.S. in Information Systems plus CCNA, Security+ and Microsoft certifications.

Why that matters to you: you're not handed off to a call center. The person who sets up your crew is the person who answers when you call, and as one of our first customers you get Bob directly and help shape how Ringo & Crew works.

Our setup process

Live in about a week. Here's exactly what happens.

We do the setup work and test it with you. You spend about 1–2 hours total.

Day 1

Discovery call

30 minutes. We learn how calls, bookings, quotes and invoices work today, confirm your plan and set a go-live date.

Days 1–2

Business intake

About 20 minutes of your time. Services, price ranges, service area, hours, emergency rules and the questions customers ask most.

Days 2–4

We build your crew

We write each crew member's script in your words and help you open the AI phone service in your own name.

Days 2–4

Connect your tools

Calendar, billing, email and online accounts are connected on a quick video call while you're signed in. We never ask for passwords.

Days 4–5

Test together

Test calls with made-up callers: an emergency, a price question, an after-hours booking. Nothing goes live until you approve.

About day 7

Go live

You turn on call forwarding on your existing number: when you're busy, after hours, or all the time.

First 30 days

Tune-up and support

Weekly check-ins based on your feedback, then a numbers-only monthly report and changes usually within one business day.

Your data stays with you

Your customers' information never lives with us.

We only work on your settings, we never download or keep your customer data, and you can remove our access at any time.

✓

You own every account

Phone line, calendar, billing, email, Google and social accounts are in your name and on your card. Even the behind-the-scenes connections run in your account.

✓

No passwords, ever

Accounts are opened and connected on a quick video call while you're signed in.

✓

Settings-only access

You add us as a team member with the most limited role that lets us change settings. Remove us with one click.

✓

We don't keep your records

Recordings, transcripts, texts, invoices and customer lists stay in your accounts. We don't download, copy or save them.

✓

Made-up test callers

Every test call during setup uses sample names and numbers, never real customers.

✓

Numbers-only reports

Your monthly report shows counts like calls answered and jobs booked, with no names or details.

The AI services that answer your calls and send your texts process that information to do their job, under their own privacy terms. We go over them with you during setup.

Support & cancelling

Easy to get help. Easy to leave.

Month to month, no cancellation fees, and you never lose your phone number or your data.

Getting help

Changes like new prices or holiday hours: email or call us. Usually done within one business day.
Something went wrong on a call: we look at it together on a video call where you share your screen, with you in control.
Our access is a team-member role in your accounts. Remove it anytime and it takes effect immediately.

If you cancel

Phones first: you turn off call forwarding, so no calls are missed.
We turn off the crew: AI phone line, texts, reminders and everything running behind the scenes.
You choose: cancel your accounts, keep them, or hand them to someone else.
We disconnect your tools and remove our access, confirmed in writing.
You get a one-page hand-off of what was set up and what you still own.

The scripts and setups we build come with your plan and are removed when you cancel, unless you choose a one-time buyout.

Plans & pricing

Three plans, plus a Marketing add-on.

Each plan builds on the last, and the Marketing Crew adds onto any of them. Click one to see an example company, then press Play.

Launch offer: sign up by February 28, 2027 and your setup fee is 50% off.

Prices are our service fee. Phone minutes, texting and AI usage are billed to you directly by those services, in accounts you own. We'll estimate your usage on the free demo.

FAQ

Questions contractors ask

Will customers know they're talking to AI?

Ringo sounds natural and friendly, and we're upfront about it: callers can always ask for a person, and Ringo will take a message or transfer the call to you.

Do I have to change my phone number?

No. You keep your number. We forward calls to Ringo when you're busy, after hours, or all the time. Your choice.

What if there's an emergency?

Ringo spots emergencies like leaks, no heat or gas smells, gives safety steps, and alerts your on-call tech right away.

Does it work with my software?

We connect to common tools like Google Calendar, Jobber, Housecall Pro and QuickBooks. If you use something else, we'll find a way.

Do you see my customers' information?

No. Everything runs in accounts you own. We only work on your settings, never download or keep your customer data, and you can remove our access anytime.

What happens if I cancel?

Your calls come back to your phones first, we turn off the crew, remove our access and send you a one-page hand-off. You keep your number and your accounts.

What does it really cost each month?

Your plan's monthly fee, plus the phone minutes, texting and AI usage you actually use. That usage is billed to you directly by those services, in accounts you own, so there's no markup. We'll estimate it for your call volume on the free demo.

Is there a launch discount?

Yes. Sign up by February 28, 2027 and your one-time setup fee is 50% off: $249 for Front Desk, $499 for Back Office, $749 for Full Growth, and $249 for the Marketing Crew add-on.

Why the name "Ringo"?

Because when your phone rings, Ringo goes to work. Ring-go. We wanted a name that sounds like a friendly teammate, not a piece of software: short, easy to remember, and easy to say over the phone. The crew is everyone behind it who books the job, follows up and gets you paid.

Who is Ringo?

Ringo is your AI receptionist. He answers every call in a friendly, natural voice and runs the crew behind him, who handle booking, follow-ups, billing and reviews.

Do you work with retail shops?

Yes. For shops, Ringo answers the phone, checks stock and holds items, and the crew gives you one dashboard for sales, staff scheduling, inventory, customers and marketing. It works with Square, Shopify POS, Clover, Lightspeed and QuickBooks. Retail pricing depends on how many locations and systems you have, so we quote it on a free demo. See the retail page →

Can you build or update my website?

Yes. Website packages start at $1,500 one-time plus $49/month, and the build is 50% off with any Ringo & Crew plan. Your site comes with click-to-call, a quote form and the Ask Ringo chat, all answered by Ringo. You own your domain and files. See website packages →

Are AskRingo and Ringo & Crew the same company?

Yes. AskRingo is our AI receptionist, and Ringo & Crew is the full company: Ringo plus the back office, marketing and website crew. Same team, same person: Bob.

Is there a contract?

Month to month. If the crew isn't paying for itself, you can cancel.

Does anything get posted or sent without me?

You choose. Routine texts and reminders run on their own; review replies, posts and anything sensitive can wait for your OK.
