An After-Hours AI Answering Service That Captures Every Out-of-Hours Lead
Boafo Agent covers nights, weekends and bank holidays, picking up where your team logs off. Qualifies callers, books appointments into Google Calendar and escalates urgent cases to a named on-call human.
Live in production with real customers. Trained on your business before launch.
What's getting in the way today
- After-hours callers refuse voicemail and try the next provider.
- Weekend leads go cold by Monday morning.
- Bank holiday cover is impossible to staff.
- Per-minute night-shift answering services bill the most exactly when calls are quietest.
- You don't know how many leads you're losing overnight.
How an after-hours AI answering service plugs the gap
Boafo Agent activates the moment your business hours end. Your number rolls to the AI, which answers in your brand voice and works through a short qualifying script.
It books appointments straight into Google Calendar, captures complete lead details to email and Google Sheets, and routes anything urgent, by keyword, to a named on-call mobile.
You get a clean morning summary of every call from the night before, so nothing slips through.
