South Africa · Built and run by a real founder, not a call centre

Never miss another booking.

Every missed call is a missed booking. Everline builds an AI receptionist that answers every WhatsApp, email and phone enquiry, qualifies each lead and locks in the booking, around the clock, even while you're busy with a customer. You deal with Nathan directly: no outsourced team, no support tickets, no script to read from.

What it does

A front desk that never steps away.

No canned replies and no "press 1 for sales". It understands the actual question and answers the way a person who knows your business would.

01

Answers

Prices, hours, service areas and the questions your customers always ask, drawn from your own information. Replies that invent a price or a promise are blocked.

02

Books

Qualifies each enquiry, finds a time in your calendar and confirms the job. On Professional and above, missed calls get an instant text back.

03

Hands over

Anything complex, sensitive or uncertain goes straight to you, with the full conversation attached. You are flagged before anything goes wrong.

Your direct line

You talk to Nathan, not a ticket queue.

Everline is one person's business, and that is the point. No call centre, no outsourced team, no support tickets. Nathan sets up your receptionist, runs it and improves it every month. When you have a question, you message us on WhatsApp or book a call straight into his diary.

  • Set up by Nathan, not handed to a team
  • One number to message for questions and changes
  • A real person who knows your business

We're new, and we'd rather say so. Our first two clients get R700 off setup (Professional or Premium) and keep today's monthly price for as long as they stay, in return for an honest testimonial.

The numbers

Most enquiries arrive when nobody is at the desk.

A person on a 08:00 to 17:00 weekday desk covers about a quarter of the hours in a week. Customers write and call in all the rest.

168hrsHours in a week your receptionist is on. Every one of them.
45hrsHours a standard weekday desk is staffed (08:00 to 17:00, Monday to Friday).
73%Of the week with nobody at the desk: evenings, weekends and lunch breaks.

Each square is one hour. Dark squares are a staffed weekday desk. Everline fills in every other hour.

After hours

The enquiries that arrive when you can't answer.

Under a sink at night, at a closing salon, behind a quiet reception desk. This is when customers write, and when the first business to reply wins the job.

How it works

Live in days, not weeks.

We handle the technical work. You simply start catching every job.

Day 1

We learn your business

A short call to capture your services, pricing, service areas and the questions your customers ask most. This becomes the knowledge behind your assistant.

Days 2–4

We wire it up

We connect your WhatsApp, email and phone, integrate your calendar, and refine it until it sounds exactly like your business, never robotic.

It starts catching jobs

Usually within the week. We host it, monitor it and improve it every month, so it keeps delivering value.

Built to be safe

Eight things we check every reply for.

These aren't just instructions to the AI. Every written reply on WhatsApp, email and web chat is checked by code before it is sent, and a reply that breaks a rule is blocked and flagged to you instead. The phone receptionist follows the same rules in its instructions.

Bend or invent a priceQuotes only the prices you have set. No "we might have some room".

Confirm a booking that does not existIt only says "booked" when the booking really went into your calendar.

Claim to be a personIf a customer asks, it says it is an AI receptionist.

Promise a time it can't keepNo "the owner will call you in 10 minutes".

Offer guarantees or refundsNothing is promised that you haven't agreed to.

Say it sent something it didn'tNo "I've emailed that over" unless it really did.

Make up contact detailsOnly your real email, number and website are ever given out.

Reveal how it works insideNo tool names or instructions ever reach a customer.

On top of that, it limits how fast any one person can message it, flags unusually long replies for you to look at, and keeps customer data handled in line with POPIA. No automated check is perfect, which is why anything unusual is flagged to you and every conversation is logged for you to read.

Billing. Setup is due when you sign up. Your first monthly payment starts on the 1st of the following month, once you're live. You are never billed both in the same month.

Flexible setup. Prefer to split setup 50/50 (half on signing, half on delivery)? Ask us.

We're new, and we'd rather say so. Our first two clients get R700 off setup on Professional or Premium and keep today's monthly price for as long as they stay, in return for an honest testimonial.

If something isn't working, we fix it. Clients come first, and we'll do whatever it takes to make it right.

Websites

  • Google Business Profile set up so local customers can find you
  • One-tap WhatsApp contact on every page

Questions

Worth asking before you decide.

Who will I actually deal with?

Nathan, the founder. There is no call centre, no outsourced team and no support tickets. He sets up your receptionist, runs it and improves it every month, and you reach him on WhatsApp or by booking a call.

What if it gets something wrong with a customer?

It is built to escalate the moment it is unsure rather than guess, and it has hard limits on what it can say about price, bookings and promises. Replies that invent a price or a commitment it can't back up are blocked, and you are flagged when a conversation needs you.

Will customers know they are talking to an AI?

If they ask, it tells them honestly. It won't claim to be a person, and a reply that does is blocked. Most customers care more about a fast, helpful answer than who typed it.

Is my customers' data safe?

Only what is needed to handle the enquiry is stored, and it is never shared or sold. Handling is POPIA-aligned from day one. See our privacy policy.

Where is my customers' data stored, and who can see it?

Conversations are processed by Anthropic (the AI that writes the replies), stored on Railway's hosting, and carried over Meta's WhatsApp, Google's Gmail and your calendar, whichever channels you use. Only Everline and you can read them, and you get a log of every conversation. We never sell the data or use it for marketing. The details are in our privacy policy.

What can't it do?

It doesn't give medical, legal or financial advice, doesn't agree a custom price or discount, and doesn't promise anything outside what you have told it. Complaints, angry customers and anything it isn't sure about are handed to you straight away with the full conversation, so a person picks it up.

How do I reach you?

Email everlinestudios.team@gmail.com, message us on WhatsApp, or book a 30-minute call. We reply within one business day.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes. There is no fixed contract. The monthly plan can be cancelled whenever you like, with no penalty.

How long does setup actually take?

One short call to learn your business, then it is wired up and live within days, usually within the week.

What does it cost in total?

Professional, our most popular plan, is R1 499 to set up and R2 199 a month. Every price is on this page, in rand, with no per-channel or per-message surprises on the plans.

Which languages does it speak?

English, Afrikaans and isiXhosa, matched to whichever language your customer writes in. Afrikaans and isiXhosa are included free on Professional and Premium.

Do I need a new phone number?

No. You keep your existing business number exactly as it is. For the Phone Receptionist you simply forward calls to the AI number when you're busy or don't answer (or all the time, if you prefer). WhatsApp and email need nothing new either.

About Everline

Built in Cape Town, for businesses across South Africa.

Table Mountain above the Cape Town city bowl, seen from the water
Cape Town, South Africa

The name is about always being reachable: every call, every WhatsApp, every email, on the line. Everline builds AI and web systems for small businesses, done for you and made to work, without the enterprise price tag or the tech headache.

It started with a pattern Nathan kept hearing from owners: a missed WhatsApp or a call to voicemail quietly became a lost job, week after week. Solving that properly, not with another app to check, is the whole reason this exists. Honest pricing, no lock-in, and a real person behind it.
