How it works

01

Name the business

Give its location, number if known, and one clear question.

02

Set the boundaries

Say whether to gather information or request a booking within your limits.

03

Check the answer

Read the outcome and any available transcript. A voicemail is not a confirmed appointment.

Give it a useful first job.

An example request to adapt. Nothing runs until you review and submit it.

Change the details. Keep the passwords and payment info to yourself.

You’ll review it again after signing in. Nothing runs yet.

Copying does not submit a task or place a call.

What Butler needs from you

  • Business name, branch, phone number if known and opening hours.
  • One clear question, a deadline and acceptable alternatives.
  • Only the personal details needed for the call.

What counts as done

Look for the business contacted, the answer received and the next step. An unanswered call or voicemail is not a confirmed booking.

Where you may need to step in

Business response, phone menus and provider availability affect completion. Calls are not suitable for emergencies.

What to expect from your call

Butler is an AI assistant that can call a business on your behalf, speak with the person who answers, and report the outcome. Start with one specific question: check an opening time, ask about availability, or find out what you need before booking. Butler identifies itself as an AI assistant. A call attempt does not guarantee an answer or a completed booking.

Example requests to adapt

Replace the bracketed details with your own. These are example requests, not reports of completed calls.

Check availability

Call [restaurant name and phone number] and ask whether they have a table for four on [date] between 6 and 8 pm. Report the available times; do not book yet.

Copying does not submit a task or place a call.

Get one business detail

Call [store name and phone number] and ask what time their repair counter closes on [date]. Tell me the answer and any exceptions they mention.

Prepare for an appointment

Call [salon name and phone number] and ask whether they have a haircut appointment on [date] after 3 pm. Ask for the price and available times before I choose.

Details to include before Butler calls

  • Give the business name, location, and phone number if you have it. A city or branch helps avoid contacting the wrong business.
  • State the exact question or result you want. For scheduling, include the date, local time window, party size or service, and acceptable alternatives.
  • Say whether Butler should only collect information or may make a booking within your stated limits. Include only the contact details the business needs.
  • Choose a call during the business's opening hours. If there is a deadline, include it in the request so the result can be assessed against that deadline.

How to check whether the task is complete

Review the reported outcome in your task. A useful answer includes the business contacted, the answer to your question, and any next step. Transcripts or recordings are available when the call provider returns them. If the line is busy, nobody answers, or only a voicemail is left, the request is still unconfirmed. Check the update before relying on a reservation or appointment.

Frequently asked questions

Does Butler identify itself as AI?

Yes. Butler identifies itself as an AI assistant calling on your behalf.

Will every call connect?

No. The business may be closed, busy or unwilling to help an AI caller. Review the outcome and choose another time or channel if needed.

Do I get a recording?

A transcript or recording is available when the call provider returns one. A call status alone does not prove a meaningful conversation happened.
