Duluth, Georgia
AI answering for Duluth, and a straight answer about language.
Duluth is now the center of metro Atlanta's Korean community, and many shops along Pleasant Hill Road serve customers in Korean. Our AI speaks English only today. If most of your callers expect Korean or Spanish, a bilingual person is the better choice right now, and we will tell you that on the call. If your callers mostly speak English, Aplos Front Desk answers your Gwinnett line for $199 a month plus a $349 launch fee.

Local detail
Why language is the first question in Duluth.
We would rather lose the sale than put the wrong tool on your phone.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has reported that the center of the region's Korean community has moved north from Doraville to Duluth. Many businesses there answer the phone in Korean first, and many of their customers expect it.
Our AI's speech recognition and voice are English today. Our own eval notes list Spanish as a known gap, and Korean is in the same place. Changing it is a phone-platform language change, not a prompt tweak. We have not done it yet.
So the honest guidance:
- Mostly English callers: Front Desk is a fit. It answers, takes details and routes urgent calls.
- Mostly Korean or Spanish callers: use a bilingual person or service for now. Some AI answering products, such as Rosie, list Spanish support on their pricing page. See our comparison.
- A mix: book the free call and we will look at your actual call log with you before you spend anything.
For Gwinnett trades
What Front Desk does on an English call.
Gwinnett County DWR
Gwinnett County's Department of Water Resources serves Duluth. Useful context for a plumber's outage-day FAQ.
Rings your on-call
No heat, no AC, burst pipe, flooding or sewage, said with now or tonight, rings your on-call number if you set one.
Fixed script
A gas smell or leak, fire, sparks or carbon monoxide runs a fixed script before the AI: leave, call 911 from outside.
Only what you approve
Up to 20 approved FAQs. Missing prices, warranties or discounts get: the team will confirm.
One email per call
Name, address, issue, urgency and callback number, labeled as the caller's own words.
Pricing
Three managed plans. One location each.
| Plan | Price | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Front Desk | $199/month + $349 launch | AI answers one business number: approved FAQs, three routing paths, qualification, owner summaries, missed-call response. 300 inbound AI minutes a month. Does not book on its own. |
| Follow-Up & Estimate Recovery | $199/month + $349 launch | Three-step text and email follow-up on new leads and open estimates. Stops on reply, booking, decline or opt-out. |
| Revenue Desk | $399/month + $699 launch | Both of the above plus one booking connection, tested for your setup before you buy. |
One location per plan. Calls and AI answering go live in 1–3 business days once setup is confirmed. Texts (missed-call text-back and follow-ups) start once your business’s carrier texting registration is approved, usually 2 to 3 weeks. Start free: the AI answers your calls free for 14 days while we file your texting registration. The launch fee and first month start on day 15. Cancel before then and you pay nothing. Month to month after that.
