Metrili is an AI front office for service businesses. Not just an AI receptionist โ three AI agents on one login that do the work of a front desk team.
Inbound AI receptionist. Answers every call 24/7 in a natural voice. Handles questions, captures caller details, and books appointments directly during the call. Never sends a real customer to voicemail.
Outbound AI caller. Calls back missed callers, new leads, and uploaded lists in your business voice so no opportunity goes cold.
AI staff copilot. A chat assistant that remembers every call and lets your team search across appointments, contacts, and conversations from one dashboard.
Built for dental and medical practices, HVAC and plumbing, salons, law firms, real estate, veterinary clinics, and any service business where a missed call is a lost customer.
Why Metrili:
Most small businesses lose 20 to 30 percent of inbound calls to voicemail, lunch breaks, and after hours. Metrili answers all of them and turns them into booked appointments.
MetriliMetrili's answer:
It is the turnkey, fair priced option. Hybrid human services like Smith.ai and Ruby cost three to four times more. Developer platforms like Retell and Bland make you build the agent yourself. Metrili is live in about 15 minutes, fully self serve, with no sales call and no setup fee, at a flat $149 CAD per month. It is Canadian built and bills in CAD, which matters for Canadian businesses on data residency and currency. And you can call the public demo line to hear the actual AI before deciding.
Metrili's answer:
Most tools in this space are a single AI that answers the phone. Metrili is a full AI front office: three agents on one login. An inbound receptionist that answers every call and books appointments, an outbound caller that follows up with leads and missed callers, and a staff copilot that lets your team search across every call, contact, and booking by chat. It is built in Canada, PIPEDA aware, and HIPAA aligned, and you can try the real AI on a public demo line before you ever sign up.
Metrili's answer:
Owner operated and small team service businesses where a missed call is a lost customer: dental and medical practices, HVAC and plumbing contractors, salons and spas, law firms, veterinary clinics, real estate, and similar. Primarily Canadian businesses that cannot justify enterprise priced answering services but lose 20 to 30 percent of inbound calls to voicemail, lunch breaks, and after hours.
Metrili's answer:
Service businesses live and die by the phone, but the people running them are on a truck, with a patient, or closing up, not at a desk. Most miss a fifth to a third of their inbound calls, and those callers just dial the next business on Google. Enterprise answering services and US AI tools either cost too much or take weeks to set up. Metrili was built to give a small Canadian service business an AI front office that answers every call, books the appointment, and follows up, for the price of less than one day of a receptionist, live the same day.
Metrili's answer:
Cloud infrastructure on AWS (HIPAA eligible), a real time voice AI pipeline, large language model driven conversation, and a web based dashboard for management. Telephony and integrations connect to existing business phone numbers and calendars.
