How it works
Three steps. Zero retraining.
No new tools for you. No new numbers for your customers.
Keep your existing number
No porting. No new line for customers to learn. The number on your truck wrap and your Google listing stays the same.
Set up call forwarding
Five minutes on any US carrier. When you don't answer in four rings, the call rolls over to Throwline.
Throwline catches it
AI picks up in your business's name, qualifies the job, and texts the caller back if you miss it entirely. The whole conversation lands in your dashboard, ready to book — one tap and it's on your Google Calendar, confirmation text sent.
What it does
Everything you'd hire a front desk to do.
Answering the phone is just the start.
Answers 24/7 in your name
Nights, weekends, mid-job. Every caller hears your business name — not a robot's, not voicemail.
Texts back every missed call
The caller instantly gets a text from your number, and the AI works the job from there — address, problem, timing.
Knows your trade
A burst pipe isn't a drippy faucet. Pre-trained on your trade's vocabulary, service types, and what counts as an emergency.
Emergencies reach you instantly
True emergencies trigger an immediate text to your cell with a link to the conversation. Everything else waits its turn.
Every call on record
Recording, transcript, and summary for every call. Every text thread live in one inbox, with this week's jobs up front.
Jump in anytime
Reply to any conversation yourself and the AI steps aside instantly. It stays quiet until you hand the thread back.

FAQ
Common questions
What every contractor asks before signing up.
Does Throwline replace my phone number?
No. You keep your existing number with your current carrier. Throwline acts as a backup — you set conditional call forwarding so calls roll over to us only when you don't answer. Customers dial the same number you've been advertising for years.
What carriers does call forwarding work with?
Every major US carrier supports conditional call forwarding — Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Spectrum, and the rest. Setup is a short dialing code or a setting in your phone's app. Five minutes once, done forever.
I already use ServiceTitan / Housecall Pro / Jobber. Does Throwline fit?
Yes. Throwline is FSM-agnostic — it works alongside whatever dispatch software you're using, or with no FSM at all. We don't try to replace your scheduling system. We just answer the calls you can't.
Does it book into my calendar?
Yes. Connect your Google Calendar once in settings and every job you book from your Throwline inbox lands on it automatically — time, customer, phone number, and notes. It's one-way: we add your booked jobs, and we never touch anything else on your calendar.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No contracts. Cancel from Settings → Billing whenever you want. Your plan ends at the close of the current billing period.
How does the AI know what my business does?
When you sign up, you pick your trade — HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, landscaping, painting, or home cleaning. The AI is pre-trained on your trade's vocabulary, common service types, and emergency-vs-routine triage. You can tune it further in settings as you learn what customers actually ask for.
What does it sound like?
