Who Rosie is built for
A business that wants a low-cost monthly minutes plan with English and Spanish on every call.

A business that wants its calls answered and booked by an AI agent 24/7, keeps its number and its calendar, manages bookings and customer insights in one place, and wants a person reachable by live transfer when it matters.
Switching
- Keep your number. Conditional forwarding on your existing line sends calls to EarlyBird when you choose — always, after hours, or only when nobody answers. How forwarding is set up.
- Nothing to migrate. EarlyBird books into the calendar and CRM you already use, so there is no data to move.
- Reversible. One toggle stops the agent answering; calls behave exactly as they did before.
Questions
- Does EarlyBird AI use human receptionists?
- No. EarlyBird is an AI agent that answers, books and takes messages on its own. When a conversation calls for a person, it transfers the call live to a number you nominate.
- How does EarlyBird AI's price compare with Rosie?
- EarlyBird charges $0.49 per minute of call time, billed by the second from a prepaid balance, with no contract. Rosie publishes: $49 per month for 250 minutes (Professional) (monthly plans with included minutes), as read from heyrosie.com on October 12, 2026.
- Can I keep my phone number if I switch?
- Yes. You keep your number and your carrier. Conditional forwarding on your existing line sends calls to EarlyBird only when you do not answer, after hours, or always — your choice, and you can turn it off at any time.
