The phone gets answered. You stay under the truck.
Shop Brain is a dedicated AI front desk for your shop. It picks up every call, takes the job down the way you told it to, and texts you what matters. It never makes up a price, it tells callers it's an AI, and a second system checks every answer before anyone hears it. See it work on your own shop first, free. Unhappy in the first 30 days? Your setup fee comes back.
The phone line is a made-up shop called Wayne Road Auto with a price list loaded. Try to get a truck quote out of it. Ask if it's a person. Be difficult.
What you're really buying
A bad AI answer isn't our problem, it's yours — a tribunal has already held a company liable for what its chatbot told a customer. So the desk is built to take that risk off your table. How we do it →
It can't invent a price
No number that isn't on your list. The most expensive AI mistake is a promise you then have to honor; we close it by design.
Always a way to a person
Anything it can't settle goes to you with the whole conversation. Your customer never has to start over, and can ask for a human any time.
Your data stays yours
Your own AI on our own hardware, not a shared chatbot. Exported to you and wiped here when you leave.
No surprise bill
One flat price a month. No per-minute billing, no overage after a busy week, no transfer fees. Cancel with 30 days' notice.
Start here
One path. You see the bill after you've tried to break it.
Free demo
Tell us your shop or your website. We build a working desk from your own details and hand you a link or a number to call. Nobody phones you.
Pick one, month to month
Shop Brain on your phone line, or the help desk on your website. One flat monthly price plus setup. Unhappy inside 30 days? Cancel and the setup fee comes back to you.
Add the other half later
After 30 days, put the same AI on both phone and website as the Front Desk Combo: lower monthly, and the setup for the half you add is 25% off.
Shop Brain: the phone desk
A missed call is a lost job. One AI per business, on our own hardware in Westland, trained on your hours, prices and rules through a private trainer page you control.
Answers every call
While you're welding, on the lift, or closed. No hold music, no voicemail box nobody checks.
Takes the job down right
Name, number, what they need, when they can come in. It lands in a text to you, not on a sticky note.
Quotes only what you wrote
If the price isn't on your list, it says the owner will call with a number.
Asks before it acts
Anything that matters waits for your "go" by text. You can see every call and why it said what it said.
Then your website: the help desk
The same AI as a chat on your site, answering only from your pages and manuals, around the clock, handing anything it can't settle to your team with the conversation attached. Most customers add it once the phone is live.
Answers only from your pages
Shipping, returns, specs, compatibility, warranty. If your pages don't say, it says so and points to your team. It does not guess.
Hands off with the transcript
Anything it can't answer goes to your email or phone line with the whole conversation, so nobody asks the customer to start over.
Monthly report
Questions it answered, questions it missed, and the pages on your site that disagree with each other. Most stores have two or three.
Attacked every month
Our Battle Test runs against your desk monthly, free, so you know whether a change opened a hole before a scammer finds it. Have a bot already? We test that too.
Why "Warden" is in the name
- A second system checks every answer before the customer sees it. If the answer drifts off the job, it gets pulled back or replaced with a safe line.
- Once it has learned your business, its rules lock. A caller cannot talk it into new ones.
- It will not take card numbers, discuss another customer, or promise a finish time you did not approve.
- Your AI is yours alone. It runs on our own solar-powered hardware here in Westland, not in a shared chatbot. For the rare hard question it can ask a larger outside model for help, under a monthly spending cap, or you can switch that off.
- Month to month, cancel with 30 days notice. When you leave, your data is exported to you and wiped here.
