  • 1Rosie is a low-cost, largely self-serve answering tool; FCL is a managed, industry-trained system. We build the intake script for your vertical, integrate with your scheduling stack, and tune it. A dental practice and an HVAC company get different intake logic.
  • 2Rosie books into Google Calendar and Calendly. FCL books directly into vertical CRMs and field-service tools (ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Dentrix, and others) so the booking lands where your operation actually runs.
  • 3FCL includes proactive lead-recovery follow-up by call and text after the first conversation. Rosie centers on the live-answer and message-taking moment for a small-business buyer.
