Little Apple calls,
answered day and night.
Voxgard is an AI receptionist for Manhattan, Kansas businesses: it answers your 785 number in about 0.3 seconds, 24/7, and puts the appointment on your Google Calendar or Calendly during the call. Manhattan is the Little Apple, home of Kansas State University, set in the Flint Hills along the Kansas and Big Blue rivers, with Fort Riley a short drive west. That mix means student renters near Aggieville, Army families in Ogden and Junction City, and homeowners out by Tuttle Creek Lake all calling the same shops. The AI works from your own services, hours and prices and offers a message or a transfer when a question goes past them. It handles 32 languages on live calls, including Spanish. Each call comes with a recording, a transcript and a summary. Forward your number and keep it. Plans start at $249 a month, and the free five-day pilot runs on your real calls, no credit card.

What Manhattan means
for your phone line.
The K-State calendar
August move-in and May move-out bring a run of calls from students and landlords, and football weekends fill the town with visitors who need things fixed fast.
Fort Riley next door
Army families arriving at Fort Riley look for housing and services in Manhattan, Ogden and Junction City. Many call after duty hours, when your office is closed.
Flint Hills weather
Spring brings severe storms and hail, and summer heat can sit on the river valley for weeks. Both show up as sudden waves of calls.
HVAC and plumbing
calls in Manhattan.
HVAC calls in Manhattan
Manhattan gets real winters and humid Kansas summers, so HVAC shops trade furnace calls for AC calls in the space of a few months, and rental houses near campus need service between tenants. Voxgard books those visits, notes whether a landlord or a tenant called, and texts a confirmation. More for the trade.
Plumbing calls in Manhattan
Cold snaps freeze pipes in older rentals, and students who find a leak at midnight call whoever answers. The AI takes the address and the problem, marks a leak urgent in the summary, and rings your on-call plumber if the caller asks. More for the trade.
