What clients say on Google
“Amazing Team. Always very responsive and knowledgeable. My company hired them for an ongoing large project to create an AI agent for answering phones with a new calendar and CRM system. This agent has been designed with logic for our specific company with many verticals making it a tough task and everything is working great. We have calls going directly to AI and booking appointments. This has helped us greatly close more calls especially after hours and weekends when we get most of our call / email and text traffic. Would highly recommend them to anyone, very happy customer.”
“We use HummingAI and "Scarlett" as an AI assistant for our fence company, and we love it! All phone calls are all answered when we are unable to answer, and a message is taken and sent to us via email if required. She schedules appointments for our sales team, answers basic questions about our services, and transfers calls to team members when needed. We now have customers saying "give our regards to Scarlett"! Shawn and the team are always available to help us with questions or concerns and very friendly and easy to work with.”
“Humming Agent AI has been essential to scaling my mom's 40+ year business. They helped her keep pace with a changing digital environment, then move out in front of it. Shawn and his team are a pleasure to work with, personally and professionally.”
