The technology

Enterprise voice AI.
Built for your business.

Turinga's AI call answering service is built on enterprise-grade voice AI infrastructure — the same technology used by large-scale call centres, now made accessible to sole traders and small trade businesses at a fraction of the cost.

Your AI agent is trained specifically on your business. It learns your trade, your services, your pricing, your service area, and how you like to communicate. Callers speak naturally and your agent responds naturally — qualifying the lead, booking the job, and handling objections without any input from you.

Every call is transcribed, summarised, and sent to you instantly. You see exactly what was discussed, what was booked, and what the caller needs — all before you have even come off the tools.

The platform runs on 99.9% uptime infrastructure with native integrations for Google Calendar, Outlook, HubSpot, and most CRM systems. When your agent books a job, it goes straight into your diary.

What makes us different

Not just another
answering service.

Turinga builds and manages AI call answering systems specifically for UK trade businesses. We understand your industry, your customers, and what it takes to win a job from an inbound call.

01

Built for trades, not generic businesses

Your agent knows the difference between an emergency call-out and a routine service booking. It knows how to handle a caller who is not sure what they need and turns them into a qualified lead.

02

Set up and managed for you

You do not configure anything. We build your agent, train it, test it, and manage it month to month. If it needs improving, we improve it. You just take the bookings.

03

One price, no surprises

Your monthly fee covers everything. No per-call charges, no setup costs, no add-ons required. You know your costs from day one and they do not change.

Ask us directly
How does an AI call answering service actually work?
+

When a call comes in and you are unavailable, it forwards automatically to your AI agent. The agent answers within 2 seconds, introduces itself using your business name, and holds a natural conversation with the caller. It collects their details, qualifies the job, books an appointment, and sends you a full summary instantly via SMS and email. The caller experience is professional, natural, and fast.

Is it reliable enough for my business?
+

Yes. Turinga runs on enterprise-grade voice AI infrastructure with a 99.9% uptime guarantee. Your agent handles multiple simultaneous calls, never takes a day off, and operates 24 hours a day including weekends and bank holidays. Every call is logged so you always have a complete record of every lead that came in.

What is the difference between this and a human answering service?
+

A human answering service uses operators working in shifts who may not know your trade, cannot handle multiple calls at once, and typically costs two to five times more per month. Turinga's AI agent is trained specifically on your business, responds in under 2 seconds every time, handles unlimited simultaneous calls, and works around the clock for a fixed monthly fee.

Do I need to change my existing phone number?
+

No. Your existing number stays the same. We configure call forwarding so your AI agent activates when you are busy or unavailable. You control when the forwarding kicks in and can turn it on or off at any time. No downtime, no disruption.

How long does setup take?
+

Most clients are live within two weeks. We start with a 30-minute discovery call, then build and test your custom agent, then go live. You do not need any technical knowledge. We handle everything and are on hand throughout.

Will my customers know they are speaking to an AI?
+

Modern enterprise voice AI sounds natural and conversational. Your agent is trained to use your business name and handle calls in a way that feels like your brand. Most callers do not realise they are speaking with an AI. You can choose to have the agent be transparent about it if you prefer — some trade clients actually find this builds trust.

Can it handle emergency calls differently?
+

Yes. We configure your agent to identify emergency call types — gas leaks, flooding, no heating — and handle them with appropriate urgency. Emergency calls can trigger an instant SMS alert to you directly so you can decide whether to respond immediately, even out of hours.

Does it integrate with my calendar?
+

Yes. Turinga integrates natively with Google Calendar, Outlook, and Calendly. When your agent books a job, the appointment goes directly into your diary in real time. The customer receives a confirmation and you receive a full call summary. No manual input required.

Is there a minimum contract?
+

No. All plans are monthly rolling with no minimum term. Cancel at any time. We are confident the service will pay for itself from the first month, which is why we do not need to lock you in.

Can I upgrade to include more automation later?
+

Yes. The AI call answering service is the entry point into Turinga's full automation stack. You can add automated lead follow-up sequences, review generation, quote and invoice automation, and a full CRM pipeline at any point. Most clients start with the call agent and upgrade within the first three months once they see the results.
