AI phone receptionist
Answers your calls 24/7 with a friendly voice, handles common questions, books appointments, takes messages, and forwards urgent calls straight to you.
Custom AI bots & agents for small businesses
Custom AI that takes the busywork off your plate.
We set up AI that answers calls, replies to emails, and handles scheduling, follow-ups, and paperwork, plus custom bots built for your business. Not an off-the-shelf chatbot: set up for you, explained in plain English, and kept running.
Start with a free, no-pressure conversation. Remotely or in person, by appointment only.
Today, handled
Example
- Answered a call and booked an appointment

You decide what it handles. You stay in charge.
What we build
AI that works the way your business does
From an AI receptionist that answers calls around the clock to quiet automations in the background, everything is built around how you already work.
Answer every customer
Calls, chats, and new leads handled quickly, even after hours.
Website & text chat assistant
Chats with visitors on your website or by text, answers questions about your services, and points them to the next step.
Lead capture & qualification
Asks the right questions, collects contact details, and sends good leads to you or your CRM right away.
Scheduling & booking assistant
Finds open times on your calendar, books the appointment, and sends the confirmation, with no back-and-forth.
Customer emails & inquiries
Quick, accurate replies to the questions you answer every day: hours, pricing basics, availability, and next steps.
Automate the back office
The repetitive follow-ups and admin that eat your evenings.
Reminders & follow-ups
Automatic reminders before appointments and friendly follow-ups after, so fewer people forget and no one falls through the cracks.
Review requests
A polite, well-timed note asking satisfied customers to leave a review, sent after the job is done.
Quote & estimate follow-ups
Gentle check-ins on estimates you've sent, so good leads don't go cold just because the week got busy.
Invoice reminders
Courteous payment reminders on a schedule you set, so you're not writing awkward “just following up” emails.
Data entry between tools
Moving the same information from one app to another, like a web form into your spreadsheet or a booking into your calendar.
Weekly reports
A simple summary in your inbox each week (new leads, bookings, open invoices) without digging through different apps.
Custom AI built for you
When an off-the-shelf tool doesn't fit, we build one that does.
Custom AI agents
Bots built around your exact process that connect your tools and run multi-step work end to end, like taking a request, checking the schedule, creating the job, and sending the confirmation.
Internal staff assistant
Answers your team's questions from your own documents, price sheets, and procedures, so the same questions don't keep landing on you.
Something else?
If it's repetitive, we can probably automate it. Tell us what's eating your time and we'll give you an honest answer about whether it's worth it.
Start a conversation →Why custom
Not just another chatbot
Plenty of tools will put a generic chat bubble on your website. Murph's Help builds AI systems around how your business actually runs, and they finish the job instead of handing it back to you.
Typical off-the-shelf chatbot
- Answers from a generic script
- Lives in one chat window on your site
- Collects a question, then hands the work back to you
- You set it up yourself and hope it works
Custom-built by Murph's Help
- Set up with your services, prices, and policies
- Works across phone, chat, text, and email
- Connects to your calendar, CRM, and other tools to finish multi-step tasks
- Built, tested with you, and kept running
How it works
Three simple steps
No tech background needed. We handle the setup and explain everything in plain English.
-
A free conversation
We talk about your day-to-day: the calls you miss and the tasks that keep piling up. No cost and no pressure. We'll point out what's worth automating and what isn't.
-
We build it
You get a clear, fixed-price proposal. Once you say go, we build your assistant or automation around the tools you already use and test it with you before it goes live.
-
It runs, and we keep it tuned
Your AI does its job, day and night. When apps change or your needs shift, we keep it running smoothly.
Pricing
Simple packages, honest ranges
A one-time setup fee plus a monthly fee. Every quote is tailored to your business after a free conversation, and you'll get a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
Starter
For anyone who wants to start with just one thing.
Setup (one time)
Starting at $500
Typically $500 – $1,000
Monthly
Starting at $150/mo
Typically $150 – $300 per month

Full Bundle
For businesses with a few different tasks to hand off.
Setup (one time)

Monthly
Starting at $300/mo

What the monthly fee covers
Keeping your automations running. Apps update and things change. We handle the fixes so you don't have to.
About software costs
Most automations rely on a few tools that typically run about $10 – $50 a month. You can pay for them on your own accounts, or we can roll them into one all-in price. We'll always tell you which, up front.
Bigger or custom builds, such as an AI phone receptionist or a custom agent, are quoted after a free conversation.
About
Owner-run and based in Huntley, IL
Murph's Help is a small, owner-run business based in Huntley, Illinois. It started with a simple idea: small business owners shouldn't lose their evenings to the same repetitive tasks, week after week, when today's AI tools can handle a lot of it.
When you reach out, you'll talk with Shane, the person who will actually set up your automations and keep them running. Expect plain English, straight answers about what's worth automating, and someone who's easy to reach when you have a question. We work with small businesses remotely or in person, whatever's easier for you.
