AI Chatbots and AI Receptionists for Richmond, CA Businesses
NexaCraft Digital builds AI chatbots and AI voice receptionists for businesses in Richmond, CA and across the Bay Area. They answer website chats and phone calls 24/7, capture leads, book appointments and alert your team. Plans are a setup fee plus a monthly plan: chat from $149 setup plus $49 a month, and voice from $249 setup plus $199 a month, with the setup paid together with the first month and no long contract. Founding Clients get lower setup prices (about 20% off) through January 17, 2027; for founding AI setups, monthly fees stay at full price, with a 3-month minimum on the monthly plan; if you cancel earlier, you repay the setup discount, from $30 (Chat Starter) to $300 (Chat + Voice bundle Pro). Repayments are flat amounts, charged only after 7 days’ email notice.
Where an AI assistant helps a local business
Most small businesses don't miss leads because of bad service. They miss them because nobody can pick up. An AI assistant covers the moments your team can't:
- After hours and weekends. A caller at 9 p.m. gets an answer and a booked callback instead of voicemail.
- When you're on a job. Contractors, cleaners and mobile services can't stop work to answer every call.
- During rushes. Restaurants, salons and clinics can let the AI handle routine questions like hours, parking and booking while staff serve the people in front of them.
- Repeat questions. Service area, starting prices, what to bring and how long it takes, answered the same way every time from information you approve.
English and Spanish, and more
Richmond and the wider East Bay are home to many Spanish-speaking households. Our Chat Business and Voice Business plans include English and Spanish, and Pro plans support 10+ languages.
A local number, and a voice you can test first
Voice plans include a local phone number. You can publish it as your main number, or use your carrier's call forwarding to send calls from your existing line to it. Want to hear how it sounds before you decide? Call Ava, our own AI voice assistant, at (510) 370-9855, a Bay Area number. Or open the chat on this page to talk to Sara, our website assistant. Your agent is built the same way, and you test it on chat and by phone before it goes live.
California rules we set up for you
This isn't legal advice, but every California setup we build covers these points:
- Call recording consent. California generally requires the consent of everyone on a call before it's recorded. If your voice agent records calls, the greeting includes a short recording notice.
- Bot disclosure. California's bot disclosure law (SB 1001) targets bots that mislead people about being a bot in order to encourage a sale. Our assistants say honestly that they're AI when asked.
- Outbound calls need consent. Federal rules treat AI-generated voices as artificial voices, so automated outbound calls generally need prior express consent. Outbound callbacks and reminders are on Voice Pro, and they should only go to people who have agreed to be contacted.
- Sensitive information. For clinics, law offices and financial businesses, we keep the assistant to scheduling and general questions and point people to your secure intake systems.
How setup works
- Discovery: your services, prices, hours, service area, FAQs, tone and what should happen with each kind of lead.
- Train: we build the assistant's knowledge and rules from your content and connect your calendar or CRM (Business plans and up).
- Test: you try it on chat and by phone, and we refine answers until you're happy.
- Go live: on your website and phone line, with 30 days of free support and monthly reports.
