Personal
A personal AI assistant that answers the calls you miss
Voicemail is where messages go to be ignored. AfterTone answers with a friendly voice, finds out who is calling and why, and sends you a short note you can act on. It works for the school, the mechanic, the relative who never texts.
The problem
Why personal miss calls
Unknown numbers get ignored
Some of them matter. The assistant finds out which ones so you can call back the ones that do.
Voicemail is slow to check
A three-line email beats listening to a rambling message on speaker in the car park.
You are in a meeting, a class, or on a plane
The caller still gets a real conversation and you still get the message.

Questions from personal
Things people in your line of work ask us
Can I turn it off on weekends?
Yes. Dial the "turn off" code we give you to pause forwarding, and the "turn on" code to resume. Or use Away mode in the dashboard to change what the assistant says.
Do I need to change my phone number?
No. You keep your existing number. You set your phone to forward unanswered calls to your AfterTone number with a short dial code. Your phone still rings first; your assistant only answers if you don't pick up. We show you every tap for iPhone and Android.
What does the assistant sound like?
Natural and calm. You choose the voice during setup from a lineup that includes Australian accents, and you can hear each one before you decide. You can change it any time from your dashboard.
How quickly do I get the summary?
Within about a minute of the call ending you get an email with the caller's name and number, why they called, the key details and what needs doing. On the Email + SMS plan a text arrives on your mobile as well.
