OUR STORY
Cedri is Canada's bilingual AI receptionist, built so you stop losing calls.
Cedri is an AI phone receptionist for Canadian small businesses. It answers every call 24/7, books real appointments, and speaks English and French. The customer who calls you reaches Cedri, not a voicemail box, and does not move on to the next name on the list.
The problem we set out to fix
Think about the last call you couldn't take. Your hands were full, or it was seven in the evening, or you were already on the other line. Now think about what you do when a business you call doesn't pick up: you hang up and try the next name on the list. The person calling you does the same thing.
The calls come at the worst time
Evenings, weekends, holidays, mid-job. Exactly when no one is free to pick up the phone.
A missed call is real money
Each one is a job, a booking, a patient. Lost in silence and impossible to win back.
Our mission
Turn missed calls into booked jobs. That's the whole point of Cedri. Not an answering service that takes a message. A receptionist that handles the entire call, from hello to a confirmed appointment, while you keep working.
What makes Cedri different
Plenty of tools can pick up a phone. Cedri was built for one thing: closing the call for Canadian businesses, the way a great front-desk hire would. We measure ourselves by one number: the calls you stop losing.
Canadian-built
Designed and operated by a Canadian team, for Canadian small businesses. Phone numbers, area codes, and all.
Bilingual from day one
Cedri handles calls in English and French, auto-detecting the caller's language and switching mid-call. Bilingual service wasn't bolted on later. It was built in from the start.
Reads your business, not a generic script
Cedri reads your website and answers from your real content: your prices, your hours, your services. It all comes out sounding like a person, not a phone-tree menu.
Your bookings, customer records and call transcripts are stored in Canada, and we never use your calls to train any AI model. Privacy isn't a setting here. It's the foundation.
It actually books
Checks your openings, picks a time, and texts a confirmation to you and the caller, all before they hang up. Bookings land in your Cedri agenda, and Google or Outlook sync is in beta.
Live in minutes, flat-rate
Paste your website, connect a number, go live. One flat plan at $18.99/mo: no per-minute charges, no surprise bills, and pricing and privacy written in plain words.

We handle real customer conversations, so we treat that responsibility seriously. Your transcripts and customer information are stored in Canada; live call audio, its recordings and the transcript generated during the call are handled by our voice infrastructure provider in the United States.
Bookings and transcripts in Canada
Your business data, bookings, customer records, and call transcripts are stored in a Canadian data centre (ca-central-1). Live call audio, its recordings and the transcript generated during the call are handled by our voice infrastructure provider in the United States.
PIPEDA & Law 25 aligned
Privacy-by-default, built to meet PIPEDA and Quebec's Law 25.

BUILT FOR CANADIAN BUSINESSES
Three typical calls, start to finish.
Cedri is built for the most common call patterns Canadian small businesses see. Here is how it handles three of them, end to end.
Plumbing
Night-time emergencies stop going to voicemail
When a call comes in after hours, Cedri answers, sizes up the urgency, and books a slot or transfers the call to the number you set.
Dental
Saturday calls become Monday appointments
A patient who would have reached voicemail could have their cleaning booked before they hang up. Cedri follows the caller’s language, English or French, from the first hello.
Auto Repair
Vehicle info captured on every call
Cedri asks for make, model, year, and the issue. By the time you call back, you already know what part you need to order.
Illustrative scenarios, written to show the shape of a call Cedri handles. They are not customer results and not measured averages.
