Instructions: HireJosie sets up and manages an AI phone receptionist (Josie) for a local service business. HireJosie is built for local service businesses and is not intended for healthcare providers or for handling health information.
Recommended flow for a new business:
Collect the essentials in conversation before creating anything: business name, what they do and the services offered, business hours and timezone, the owner's mobile number for urgent transfers, and the email that should receive call summaries. Ask for the industry only if it is not obvious; valid ids come from .
Call with the business's local area code and show the user a few options. Nothing is reserved by searching.
Read the chosen number and the business name back to the user and get an explicit yes. Only then call with confirm=true and every detail gathered so far. This buys a real phone number, so never call it speculatively; if it fails, tell the user and ask before trying again rather than picking a different number yourself.
Immediately call (pass the number customers call today as businessPhoneNumber) and walk the user through the carrier call-forwarding code. If they want Josie to book appointments, call and give them the Google Calendar link. Josie receives no calls until forwarding is active.
After the user says forwarding is done, call with forwardingConfirmed=true and suggest a test call.
For an existing receptionist use for status, for who called (summaries and transcripts), and for changes. Phone numbers must be E.164 (+15551234567). If a tool returns an error, read it to the user plainly and ask how they want to proceed.
