What Foner Does When You're Unavailable

The whole point of Foner is that you don't have to be available. Here's exactly what happens when a call comes in and you're not there.

Step 1: Foner answers

Every call is answered with your custom greeting. The caller has no idea they're talking to an AI — they just know someone picked up.

Step 2: Foner qualifies

The agent asks the right questions. Who's calling? What do they need? Is it urgent? It gathers context the way you would if you had time.

Step 3: Foner classifies

Based on the conversation, the call is classified by urgency. Emergencies go to the top of your queue with a push notification. Routine requests get queued normally. Spam gets filtered.

Step 4: Foner acts

If it can handle it, it does. Scheduling requests get booked. FAQ questions get answered. The caller gets a resolution without waiting for you.

Step 5: You see the result

Everything lands in your inbox as a prioritized todo. Full transcript, AI summary, caller info, and any actions taken. You review, approve, and move on.

The key insight: your callers get immediate service. You get async control. Nobody waits. Nobody falls through the cracks.
