The current Day-1 OwnerSwitch app does not send texts or place calls. Messaging-program guidance and opt-out help apply only to a separately activated future pilot.

OwnerSwitch
For 1-5 truck residential electricians

Invoice drafts the same day.
First-reply drafts from the phone.

In an invited workspace, review invoice drafts and first-reply drafts made from customer context already stored there. Starting an invoice draft does not contact Stripe, and this build does not create a payment link, finalize, or send an invoice. You still copy replies from your existing business phone. Live SMS ingestion and transmission stay off in Day-1.

The review-to-result path

Two daily wins. The same owner-controlled boundary.

Synthetic cards, not outcome guarantees. Day-1 is draft review on your existing business phone, not live SMS from an OwnerSwitch number.

FIRST REPLY · NEEDS REVIEW

When bounded customer context and a proposed reply are already stored in your invited workspace, OwnerSwitch shows the non-diagnostic first-reply draft on Today for you to check.

No customer-facing action is authorized yet.
INVOICE · NEEDS REVIEW

Start an internal invoice draft from your own job in the invited workspace, then OwnerSwitch shows the customer, line items, tax, due date, and total for review.

Confirm every line of the invoice draft. Sending and pay links stay outside this build.
OWNER DECISION

You edit as needed, then approve the exact first-reply draft or confirm the invoice draft fields. You still send from your existing business phone.

Owner approved the draft. Not proof that OwnerSwitch transmitted SMS.
SAME-DAY INVOICE DRAFT

Starting an invoice draft does not contact Stripe, and this build does not create a payment link, finalize, or send an invoice. OwnerSwitch does not collect cards in the app and does not transmit live SMS in Day-1.

Intended outcome: a same-day invoice draft the owner has checked line by line. Replies still copy to your shop phone.
The problem

Finished electrical work should not wait until after dark to become an invoice.

In a 1-5 truck residential electrical shop, the owner still invoices from a phone and still answers (or misses) the existing business phone. OwnerSwitch lets invited owners review invoice drafts and first-reply drafts already stored in their workspace; you review every draft and still send. Live SMS ingestion and transmission stay off in Day-1.

Invoice-ready
an internal invoice draft from your own job should be started and reviewed the same day.
They text or call
you review a first-reply draft made from customer context already stored in your workspace. You still send from your existing business phone. Day-1 does not ingest or transmit live SMS.
You decide
every draft needs your review. Drafts can be wrong; the last look is yours. Live SMS stays off in Day-1.
How it works

Four honest stages. You make the consequential decision.

STEP 1
An invited workspace has a draft
An invoice draft or bounded first-reply draft is already stored in the invited workspace for review.
STEP 2
You inspect the stored facts
Review the invoice fields or bounded first-reply context. Drafts can be wrong.
STEP 3
You approve the exact draft
Review and edit from the phone. Approval records your decision; Day-1 does not transmit customer SMS for you.
STEP 4
You stay the sender
You still send from your existing business phone. Live SMS on an OwnerSwitch-managed number is not part of this Day-1 binary.
What OwnerSwitch does

Invoice drafts and first-reply drafts - from your pocket.

Same-day review of an invoice draft
Start an invoice from your own job in the invited workspace, then review the customer, descriptions, quantities, discounts, taxes, fees, due date, and total. Starting an invoice draft does not contact Stripe, and this build does not create a payment link, finalize, or send an invoice. OwnerSwitch does not collect cards in the app.
First-reply draft from the phone
Review a suggested first-reply draft made from customer context already stored in your invited workspace. You still send from your existing business phone. Day-1 does not ingest device texts or calls, provision an OwnerSwitch number, or transmit customer SMS.
Drafts you can correct
Drafts already stored in the invited workspace can be wrong, so you review names, dates, scope, totals, and other consequential facts before you act outside the app.
One job, one conversation
Keep the customer, property, active work, and approved conversation together so the invoice and the first reply have reviewable context. This is not a dispatch board or a hiring tool.
You stay the sender
OwnerSwitch shows existing drafts for review. You stay the sender on your existing business phone. Day-1 has no live 10DLC and no per-shop Twilio numbers. Toll-free is not a bridge.
Safety comes straight to you
Burning smell, sparks, or a shock? OwnerSwitch can flag the thread for urgent human review. It does not diagnose electrical hazards or autonomously send safety advice.
Trust & control

It works for you - not instead of you.

OwnerSwitch isn't an autonomous customer-service bot. It shows drafts already stored in your invited workspace; you review the facts. Day-1: you still send from your existing business phone.

You approve every draft
Every stored invoice draft and first-reply draft waits for an authorized person's review before you act.
Drafts are proposals
A stored suggestion can be wrong, so review names, dates, scope, safety, and other consequential facts.
You control every promise
Pricing, diagnosis, scope, safety, warranties, payments, and scheduling commitments stay with you.
Your data is yours
Access, export, deletion, and retention are handled through the monitored privacy process and the terms you accept.

Hi Marta - thanks for the update about the outlet. Can you send a photo of the outlet and tell me when the issue started? I’ll review it and reply with the next step.

Why OwnerSwitch

Not a voicemail. Not a runaway bot.

Answering services take a message. Autonomous bots can send a wrong price. OwnerSwitch is for the owner who still reviews the invoice draft and the first-reply draft.

PLAIN VOICEMAIL & ANSWERING SERVICES

A message taker is not an invoice.

  • A conventional service may take a message or follow a script.
  • Capabilities and human-review controls vary by provider.
  • Compare the actual service, disclosures, and contract before choosing a provider.
AUTONOMOUS AI RECEPTIONISTS

Autonomous sending has different risks.

  • Some products may support autonomous booking or customer messaging.
  • Unreviewed model output can contain a wrong fact, price, or promise.
  • Owners should compare approval, safety-escalation, and audit controls.
THE OWNERSWITCH WAY
OWNERSWITCH

You review. The result stays visible.

  • Review first-reply drafts made from customer context already stored in your invited workspace.
  • Start and confirm internal invoice drafts from your own jobs in the invited workspace.
  • You still send from your existing business phone. Day-1 does not transmit live SMS for you.

Compliance

Controls that support a reviewed messaging program.

Texting customers with AI comes with legal and carrier obligations. OwnerSwitch provides consent, opt-out, approval, and audit controls to support that work when a messaging channel is later enabled; Day-1 keeps you on your existing business phone. Each business remains responsible for its requirements.

Consent on file
OwnerSwitch can record approved consent basis and revocations when a messaging channel is later enabled. Day-1 keeps you on your existing business phone; each business remains responsible for a lawful consent path.
A2P 10DLC stays off in Day-1
Day-1 does not run live 10DLC or provision a per-shop Twilio number. Carrier Brand / Campaign work is not part of this founding-partner binary; keep using your existing business phone.
AI disclosure built in
OwnerSwitch supports approved business-identity and AI-assistance disclosure copy. The exact disclosure remains subject to the business's reviewed legal requirements.
STOP means stop
When a messaging channel is later enabled, the pilot must recognize listed carrier STOP keywords, suppress future messages, record the event, and provide the required bounded confirmation. Day-1 does not transmit customer SMS.
Data rights need an operator
Pilot privacy, access, export, deletion, and retention requests go through a monitored human process documented in the signed pilot terms.
You're the sender of record
OwnerSwitch shows existing drafts for the business to review. You stay the sender on your existing business phone in Day-1.

This isn't legal advice. OwnerSwitch gives you the tools, disclosures, and records - you own the customer relationship and your compliance obligations. Confirm your requirements with your own counsel.

A day on the job

Illustrative owner-review states.

These synthetic examples show the intended owner-review loop; they are not customer stories or outcome promises.

MISSED CALL

A customer leaves a message about an outlet that keeps tripping while you're elbow-deep in a panel. If that bounded context is already stored in the invited workspace, OwnerSwitch can show the non-diagnostic first-reply draft for review.

You review the facts, edit the draft, and still send from your existing business phone.
NEW TEXT

A homeowner texts your existing business phone about an EV charger install. If that bounded context is already stored in the invited workspace, OwnerSwitch shows the first-reply draft without proposing a price.

You review the exact draft. Day-1 does not claim OwnerSwitch transmitted the SMS.
SAFETY MESSAGE

You enter a customer's note about a burning smell at their panel. OwnerSwitch does not diagnose or autonomously send advice; it flags the language for urgent owner review.

You take over live using your approved emergency procedure.
INVOICE READY

Start an internal invoice draft from your own job in the invited workspace, then review the customer, line items, tax, due date, and total.

You confirm every field. Starting an invoice draft does not contact Stripe, and this build does not create a payment link, finalize, or send an invoice. OwnerSwitch does not collect cards in the app.

Questions

Straight answers.

Is OwnerSwitch just an answering machine?

No. It lets invited owners review first-reply drafts and start invoices from their own jobs. Starting an invoice draft does not contact Stripe, and this build does not create a payment link, finalize, or send an invoice. You still copy replies from your existing business phone. OwnerSwitch does not send a business reply in Day-1.

Will my customers know it's AI?

A stored draft may have been AI-assisted, and an authorized person at the business reviews it before acting outside the app. The pilot uses approved identity and AI-assistance disclosure copy where required; each business remains responsible for its legal obligations.

Do I keep my current phone number?

Yes. Day-1 uses your existing business phone. This founding-partner build does not provision a per-shop OwnerSwitch-managed Twilio number or live 10DLC. Toll-free is not used as a bridge. Number porting is not promised.

What happens with a safety emergency?

OwnerSwitch does not diagnose hazards or autonomously send electrical safety advice. It can flag urgent language for the owner. For an emergency, stop messaging and call 911 or the utility.

How do payments work?

You can start and review an invoice from your own job in the invited workspace. Starting an invoice draft does not contact Stripe, and this build does not create a payment link, finalize, or send an invoice. An already-existing Stripe-hosted invoice can open in the system browser. The app does not collect payment information. OwnerSwitch SaaS is $199/mo on the web, not an in-app purchase.

Is texting my customers compliant?

OwnerSwitch provides consent records, opt-out controls, human approval, and audit trails to support a business's compliance workflow when a messaging channel is later enabled. Each business remains responsible for lawful messaging. Day-1 has no live carrier SMS on an OwnerSwitch number; you still send from your existing business phone.

Does OwnerSwitch ever send anything on its own?

No. Day-1 shows drafts for owner review. Starting an invoice draft does not contact Stripe, and this build does not create a payment link, finalize, or send an invoice. OwnerSwitch does not collect cards. You stay the sender on your existing business phone for replies, and the app sends no customer message. A separately approved future messaging pilot has its own consent and delivery terms.
