CloseReply is an AI agent that auto-replies to every email and SMS lead within 60 seconds, 24 hours a day. It qualifies leads and keeps the conversation going while the business owner sleeps, then sends automatic follow-ups if a lead goes quiet for 24 hours. The Email Agent connects to Gmail, reads inbound leads, and replies in the business's own voice from the real Gmail address. The SMS Agent works with an existing Twilio number to handle inbound texts and maintain full conversation history. Built specifically for local service businesses that lose jobs to slow response times โ HVAC, plumbing, real estate, dental, law firms, and similar trades where a missed after-hours lead often means a lost customer. Plans start at $149/month with a 7-day free trial and no credit card required.

Node.js/Express backend, Gmail OAuth for email integration, Twilio for SMS, hosted on Render.
CloseReply's answer:
CloseReply replies from your actual Gmail address, not a separate inbox or widget, so customers can't tell an AI answered. It responds within 60 seconds instead of hours, remembers past conversations with each customer, and escalates only when a human is genuinely needed โ legal threats, payment disputes, emergencies.
CloseReply's answer:
Podium, Birdeye, and Weave are broad messaging/reputation platforms built for many use cases. CloseReply does one thing โ instant AI reply to email and SMS leads โ and connects directly to your existing Gmail and Twilio number instead of requiring a new inbox or number.
CloseReply's answer:
Local service businesses that lose jobs to slow response times: HVAC, plumbing, real estate, dental, law firms, car dealerships, gyms, and mortgage brokers.
CloseReply's answer:
CloseReply exists because local service businesses lose real revenue to slow lead response โ a missed email at 9pm or an unanswered text on a weekend often means the customer just moves to the next business that replies first. CloseReply was built to close that gap: an AI agent that replies within 60 seconds, any hour, from the business's own Gmail and phone number, so no lead goes cold waiting for a human to get back to a desk.
