Why did we build upfirst?

A phone call is a first impression. No one likes being sent to voicemail but hiring full-time staff just to run the phones is expensive. For small businesses, it’s just not an option.

That's why we created Upfirst: to make it easy for companies of any size to deliver great customer experiences using AI.

With Upfirst, every call is answered, every lead is captured, and every customer feels valued.
