The problem

When you can't pick up, you have three bad options.

OPTION 1

Let it go to voicemail

Most people won't leave a message. They call the next business on the list.

OPTION 2

Hire a receptionist

A full-time hire costs $35,000+ a year and still goes home at 5.

OPTION 3

Pay an answering service

You pay per minute for someone reading a script who doesn't know your business.

Option 4: an AI receptionist trained on your business that answers every call, day or night, and hands the important ones to you.

Fair question

Why not just buy a $49 AI app?

DIY apps are great if you have the time to set them up, train them and keep them current. Here's what you get when it's done for you.

Safe by design

You stay in charge.

An AI agent should take work off your plate, not create new worries. Here's how every agent I build is set up.

  • Tested before launchRun against real examples from your business, including the ones it should refuse, before any customer sees it.
  • Sensitive stuff waits for youAnything you mark (quotes, refunds, exceptions) goes to you for approval instead of being decided by the AI.
  • A written NEVER listWhat it must never say or do is written down, approved by you, and tested.
  • Honest with customersCallers are told they're talking to an AI assistant and when a call is recorded, as Illinois law requires. A person is always reachable. No robocalls or spam texts, ever.
  • Your data stays yoursBuilt in your accounts, never used to train AI models. Confidentiality is in our agreement, and I'm happy to sign your NDA.
  • More hours, same teamIt covers after-hours, overflow and the repetitive stuff, so your people can focus on the work only they can do.

Who you'll work with
You deal with me directly. I build it, I test it, and I'm the one who picks up when you call.

I'm Aze, and I run AZE IT on my own out of Lemont. I started out fixing computers and moving local companies to Microsoft 365. Now I build AI agents that take repetitive work off small businesses.

I take on a small number of clients at a time on purpose, so every agent gets my full attention. I also run my own business on the same tools: the assistant in the corner of this page is one of my agents.

The name? Ąžuolas means "oak" in Lithuanian. Hence the leaf.

Monthly care

Agents need a mechanic.

AI models get retired, your prices and policies change, logins expire and apps update. Care keeps your agent accurate and running. It's included in every agent's monthly price, month to month, cancel anytime. Need more? Upgrade.

Questions

Straight answers.

What if the AI gets something wrong?

Every agent has a written job card covering what it may do, what it hands off and what it must never do, and it's tested against real examples before going live. When it isn't sure, it hands off to a person. Anything sensitive can wait for your approval. It assists your team; your team still makes the decisions.

Can I keep my phone number?

Yes. The AI receptionist works through call forwarding, so customers call the same number they always have. You choose when it answers: all calls, after hours only, or only when you don't pick up.

How much of my time will this take?

About an hour or two in total: a short call, sending me your info (prices, FAQs, how you handle common requests), and checking in during the 14-day pilot. I do the rest.

Will it replace my staff?

That's not the goal. It covers what your team can't: after-hours calls, overflow when everyone's busy, and the repetitive questions. Most owners use it to extend their hours without adding staff.

We tried AI before and it didn't work. Why is this different?

Most AI tools fail because they're generic and nobody maintains them. I build one agent for one job, train it on your real information, test it before customers see it, run a pilot where you can walk away, and keep it tuned with upkeep.

Is my customers' data safe?

The agent runs inside your own accounts, under your control. Your data is never used to train AI models, confidentiality goes both ways in our agreement, and I'm happy to sign your NDA. For health information, I only use platforms that sign a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement, or keep the agent to non-clinical tasks.

What does it cost each month?

Two parts. First, the agent's monthly price (from $150 for a chat agent, from $300 for a phone receptionist), which includes care: monitoring, fixes and a monthly report. Second, AI and phone usage, billed to your own account. That's usually $10–60/month for a small business, and I'll estimate yours before we start. Month to month, cancel anytime.

Do I need to be technical?

No. You tell me how the job is done today and what a good result looks like. I handle the build, the setup and the upkeep, and I train your team on what they'll actually see.

Get started

Let's take something off your plate.

The easiest start: send me your website and I'll build you a free sample chat agent trained on your business within 3 business days. No call needed. Or ask for a free after-hours call check: I'll call your business after closing and show you what your customers hear, and what they'd hear with an AI receptionist.
