What we do

Voice agents that work like your best front-desk hire — minus the rota.

We design, build and run the whole thing. You forward your line; we handle the rest.

📞

Inbound call handling

Answers every enquiry 24/7 — unit sizes, pricing, access, opening hours — then quotes and books the customer in. After hours, weekends, lunch: no more voicemail leaking revenue.

Outbound follow-up

Chases warm leads, confirms move-ins, runs win-back and reminder calls. The follow-up that never happens when the team's busy on the counter.

🔌

Stora & MCP integration

Connected directly to your management software via Model Context Protocol — live availability, real bookings, card details, customer records updated without a human touching the keyboard.

Automation around the call

CRM updates, calendar sync, daily reporting, payment links. The admin tail of every booking, handled automatically.

How it works

Live in two to four weeks. Quiet rollout, no big bang.

A standard inbound deployment, kick-off to go-live:

Call flows

We map your enquiries, prices and integration points, and design the call flows and prompts.

Build & test

We build the agent and test it against your real scenarios in a sandbox.

UAT

You trial it on a forwarded line and we tune the voice, tone and edge cases.

Go-live

Quiet rollout on your number, monitored closely for the first weeks.

Pricing

Straightforward, two-part pricing.

It typically pays for itself within two to three captured bookings a month.

One-off

Monthly
Platform & minutes scales with usage

Telephony, voice and AI running costs (Twilio, ElevenLabs, Anthropic) plus support — billed monthly, scaling with your call volume.

FAQ

The questions operators actually ask.

What does an AI voice agent for a self-storage business actually do?

It picks up calls 24/7, answers common questions (unit sizes, pricing, opening hours, access), quotes a unit, and books the customer in for a viewing or move-in — writing the booking directly into your storage management software via API. After hours, weekends, lunchtime — calls that would otherwise go to voicemail get handled.

Do you work with operators in Bath, Bristol or Wiltshire?

Yes. Sturdy Ai is based in Frome, Somerset and serves operators across the South West and South — including Bath, Bristol, Wells, Glastonbury, Yeovil, Trowbridge, Warminster, Salisbury, Taunton, Bridgwater, Weston-super-Mare, Swindon and Cheltenham. Roughly anywhere within an hour's drive of BA11 5HD for on-site work; remote setup for sites further afield.

Does the voice agent integrate with Stora?

Yes. We integrate directly with Stora through Model Context Protocol (MCP), so the agent can check live unit availability, create bookings, take card details and update customer records without a human touching the keyboard. We can also integrate with Storeganise, Easystorage or any platform with a documented API.

Will the voice agent sound like a robot?

No. We use ElevenLabs for voice — current generation is indistinguishable from human in normal call quality. We tune the voice to match your brand and region; British English with whatever accent fits.

What does it cost?

Pricing has two parts: a one-off implementation fee covering call-flow design, integration and tuning; plus monthly platform costs (Twilio, ElevenLabs, Anthropic) which scale with call minutes. A typical small-operator setup pays for itself within two to three captured bookings per month.

How long does it take to go live?

Two to four weeks from kick-off for a standard inbound deployment: week 1 — call flows, prompts, integration mapping; week 2 — build and sandbox testing; week 3 — UAT on a forwarded line; week 4 — go-live with a quiet rollout.
