Don't take our word for it. Try them.

Peak Plumbing & Heating. On a job, still answering.

It's 9pm and someone's boiler has packed in. You're under a sink in Ossett. Fredi takes the enquiry, works out how urgent it is, and gets the details you need to call back. People who'd rather not chat can use the quick form instead.

• Say your boiler's leaking and see how it handles urgency
• Ask for a rough price on a bathroom fit
• Try the quick form instead of chatting

Archer. Your phone, answered.

Missed calls are the most expensive enquiries you lose, because the caller has already decided to spend money. Archer picks up, has a natural conversation, takes the details and passes them on.

• Talk to it the way a customer would
• Interrupt it, change your mind, mumble a postcode
• Ask it something it shouldn't know and see how it hands over

Ring from any phone and Archer picks up. The browser version asks for microphone access.

Grid Gym. Memberships sold while you coach.

Most gym enquiries land in the evening, straight after someone's been inspired by a workout. Cole, the membership agent, answers questions, handles the "is it too hard for me?" worry, and books the free trial.

• Say you're a complete beginner and see how it reassures you
• Ask about prices and contracts
• Try to book a trial session

Smile Dental. Reception, after reception closes.

Patients look up treatments and think about booking in the evening, when the phones are off. Sophie explains options, gives example costs, takes appointment requests, and points real emergencies to NHS 111.

• Ask the difference between NHS and private treatment
• Say you're nervous about the dentist
• Request an appointment, then cancel it
