HireJosie AI Receptionist

Use this when the user wants their AI receptionist to book appointments and Google Calendar is not connected yet. Creates a new single-use link, valid for 1 hour, that the user opens to connect Google Calendar. Each call creates a new link.

get_calendar_link

Use this when the user has chosen a phone number from search_phone_numbers and has explicitly confirmed they want to create their AI receptionist. This provisions a real phone number and starts answering calls for the business; confirm the business name and number with the user first. Local service businesses only. HireJosie is built for local service businesses and is not intended for healthcare providers or for handling health information. Do not use this for medical, dental, or other healthcare practices.

setup_receptionist

Use this when the user needs to start receiving real customer calls on their AI receptionist: gives phone-carrier call-forwarding codes for their existing business number and whether Google Calendar is connected. Pass businessPhoneNumber to tailor the steps to the carrier.

get_activation_steps

Use this when the user asks who called, what happened on recent calls, or wants call summaries or transcripts from their AI receptionist. Returns the newest calls first with outcome, summary and full transcript.

get_recent_calls

Use this when the user asks about their AI receptionist: its phone number, whether it is active, current settings, whether call forwarding or a calendar is connected, and minutes used this month.

get_receptionist

Use this when the user is setting up an AI phone receptionist and you need the list of supported business types. HireJosie is built for local service businesses and is not intended for healthcare providers or for handling health information.

list_industries

Use this when the user explicitly wants to report a bug, complaint, or something that went wrong with HireJosie or this chat — including a tool that errored, behaved unexpectedly, or produced a result the user disputes. Write summary yourself from the conversation; it goes directly to the HireJosie team, so include what the user was trying to do, what happened instead, and any exact error text or tool names involved. This does not fix anything itself — after calling it, tell the user it was sent and that HireJosie will follow up by email.

report_issue

Use this when the user wants to pick a new business phone number for their AI receptionist. Returns up to 10 available US or Canadian numbers, optionally filtered by area code. Does not reserve or buy anything.

search_phone_numbers

Use this when the user wants to change how their existing AI receptionist answers: greeting, business hours, services, FAQs, transfer number, notification email, or call-handling mode. Only the fields provided are changed. Set forwardingConfirmed=true once the user says they finished setting up call forwarding on their phone carrier. Changing forwardingNumber, emergencyContactPhone, notificationSmsPhone, notificationEmail, callHandlingMode redirects where real calls, transfers, or notifications go — read the new value back to the user, get explicit confirmation, then call again with confirm=true.
