Platform

Built as a desk, not a chatbot.

Enquiries. Quotes. Bookings. Handled — from the knowledge you already hold, under rules you sign.

01

Load the desk

Hours, rates, scripts, and exceptions enter one workspace. She does not invent policy.

02

Stand the line

Calls and messages arrive at one desk. She answers in seconds, cites the card, and can be interrupted.

03

Hand work on

Quotes, holds, and tickets pass to your calendar or CRM. Nothing is connected until you approve.

Mandate brain

Employees of the CEO. Not a chatbot with a nameplate.

The Principal authorises a brain. Sarah answers the line. Atlas is Chief of Staff — same cells, same refusals, employable in any tool over HTTP. Nobody speaks as the principal. If there is no cell, they stop.

Mandate

May

    May not

      Ask as Atlas

      The same brain the live desk answers from — queried over HTTP, live, right here. Cells verbatim or an honest refusal; never an invention.

      Atlas, Chief of Staff, on the mandate of the Principal: I pull from the brain. I do not speak as him.

      Cortex · cells

      The live cell map, read from the brain itself just now. A lit border marks cells the last query pulled.

      Protocols

      Exception protocols, enforced in code.

      The six rules a serious firm asks about first — read directly off the architecture, not written for this page.

      RX-KERNEL · Exception protocols BUILD 217-GREEN --:--:--Z
      COMMERCIALKEYS 1–6

      Enterprise · Liability engine

      The company owns every word.
      The architecture follows.

      Air Canada settled the question: the business is liable for what its AI says. So facts live in a ledger the model can only read. Prices that are not on a signed cell never enter context. Rules that matter are gates, not prompts. Humans hold go-live and the rate card. Industry is a pack, not a fork.

      01 · Facts

      One lookup. No soup.

      Keyword retrieve over signed cells. Deterministic, explainable. Vectors can sit behind the same chokepoint when a tenant has thousands of cells — not before.

      02 · Gates

      A prompt is a request.

      STOP, caps, quiet hours, discount authority, impersonation, and invented amounts are enforced in code on the way in and the way out.

      03 · Edges

      Autonomy in the middle.

      The approval inbox is the only write. History is never deleted. A desk still provisioning stays silent — the engine refuses until a principal signs.

      Who is speaking

      Acting as

      Ask a price, a discount, a diagnosis, or go-live. The gates fire in code. The model never sees a price it is not allowed to say.

      One lookup

      The company owns every word. If it is not in a signed cell, it is not said.

      Propose a write

      There is one chokepoint. Staff cannot write. An operator may propose. Only the principal can sign.

      New card body Spoken

      Inbox

      Nothing waiting. Autonomy sits in the middle. Authority sits here.

      Append-only · emails and phones redacted

      Your session's queries and refusals will appear here — append-only, exactly as the platform records its own.

      Hospitality · 6-cell pack

      Night desk

      House rules, carded rates, late arrivals. Doors and complimentary value stay with the on-call.

      The engine does not branch on industry. Vets was a pack, not a fork.

      Trades & field service · 6-cell pack

      After-hours field

      Capture the job, quote the published call-out, hold the diary. No safety claims.

      The engine does not branch on industry. Vets was a pack, not a fork.

      Veterinary · 6-cell pack

      Practice door

      Hours, nurse-clinic prices, emergency routing. No diagnosis from the desk.

      Thirty packs. One engine underneath all of them.

      TENANT_NOT_LIVE

      Founder-led go-live

      A desk in provisioning cannot speak to the public. Humans hold that edge.

      CONVERSATION_CAP

      Conversation cap

      Enforced in code. This build is honest only while single-instance.

      NO_IMPERSONATE

      No impersonation

      Staff cannot speak as the principal. Gate, not a request.

      ATLAS_CANNOT_BIND

      Atlas cannot bind

      Drafts only. Send, sign, and go-live stay with the principal.

      NO_OFF_CARD_DISCOUNT

      No off-card discount

      A new price is a ledger write. Writes need approval.

      PRICE_STRIP

      Price gate

      Price rows are stripped before they enter context unless the staff may quote.

      INVENTED_PRICE

      Spoken amounts must be on a surviving cell

      Post-gate. The model is structurally unable to utter a figure that is not there.

      QUIET_HOURS

      Quiet hours

      Marketing SMS/WhatsApp blocked 21:00–08:00 by default — tenant policy, enforced in code.

      NO_CLINICAL

      No clinical advice

      Intake may hold a time. Diagnosis is a clinician.

      NO_LEGAL_OPINION

      No formal legal opinion

      Operating policy is not counsel of record.

      NO_INVENTED_UPGRADE

      No invented hospitality value

      Upgrades and waived deposits are writes.

      WRITE_CHOKEPOINT

      One write path

      Propose → principal approve → commit. History is never deleted.

      RETENTION

      Retention

      Erasure in one call; retention by tenant policy; access codes never reach the summary.

      Scale

      Load, held lightly.

      Figures read from the platform itself. None of them are aspirational.

      Measured, not promised

      Built for the rush, not the quiet hour.

      Commercial

      Included in every plan.

      Commercial terms written to survive procurement. Nothing on this list is an add-on.

      01

      No per-seat fees.

      The AI does the work; you pay for the work, not for seats to watch it.

      02

      The ledger.

      Every reply, booking and refusal on the record — why did the AI do this? Answered.

      03

      28 languages.

      Automatic switching, one continuous conversation. Language changes; context does not.

      04

      Your knowledge, your rules.

      Prices only from your list. Policies enforced in code, not prompts.

      05

      Two months free, paid yearly.

      Twelve months for the price of ten.

      06

      Leave with your data.

      Cancel any month. Your customers, conversations and knowledge export with you.

      07

      Named colleagues.

      Each desk can carry a different playbook without forking the platform.

      08

      Nothing live until you say so.

      Setup is included. Your numbers stay untouched until you approve go-live.

      The full rate card

      Industries

      Desks that already know the work.

      Receptionist is not a generic voice. Each colleague carries a playbook — trades, clinics, chambers, hospitality, property — without changing the system underneath. View all

      Priced like software. Governed like a desk.

      For people, first

      Serious technology. A kind hello.

      Receptionist never hurries a guest. She remembers names, respects silence, and hands to a human the moment that is the better thing to do.
