# Yapper

> Yapper is an AI phone receptionist built for small businesses in the trades — plumbers, HVAC techs, electricians, contractors, auto repair shops, and law firms. Businesses forward their calls to a Yapper phone number. The AI answers 24/7, handles common questions, captures appointment requests, detects emergencies and transfers them to the owner, and sends the business owner a summary after every call via email or text.
