Your Brenda’s Desk workspace

See how Brenda’s Desk, your AI receptionist, turns a conversation into a useful follow-up. Explore the workspace, setup guides, forms, permissions, and quote email alerts.

The screens below come from an isolated example installation for Harbor Home Services. Names, contact details, requests, calls, and notification activity are fictional. They show the current workspace without exposing a real business.

A first hello. A clear next step.

Your receptionist handles the opening conversation. The workspace gives your people the details they need to follow through. Start with this ordinary quote enquiry:

“I’d like an estimate to replace a kitchen faucet. Can someone call me about the work?”
  1. 01 / CONVERSATION

    Collect and confirm.

    The receptionist asks for the caller’s name, agreed contact details, and what they need. A completed request is confirmed before saving.

  2. 02 / SAVED REQUEST

    The details arrive together.

    The saved quote appears in Requests & follow-up. If quote email alerts are enabled and connected, an alert is queued too.

  3. 03 / TEAM FOLLOW-UP

    A person takes the next step.

    Open the request, check the confirmed phone or email, and contact the caller. Record progress and team notes as you go.

  4. 04 / CLOSE THE LOOP

    Keep the team current.

    Mark the request Completed when the follow-up is finished. Reopen it if more work is needed. Your staff approve prices and appointments.
