Beside

Beside is an AI operating system for local businesses. It pulls phone service, AI reception, lead follow-up, CRM, website, reputation, advertising, and scheduling into a single system that keeps acquiring customers, responding to clients, and maintaining relationships even when the shop is busy or closed. Rather than only showing a dashboard, it executes low-risk operational tasks. Important actions taken in the business owner's name are submitted as drafts first for approval, editing, or rejection, and every operation is reversible. Access begins with a waitlist and a free business audit.

- Answer calls with an AI front desk that captures intent and messages

- Follow up on leads from phone, website, ads, and messages automatically

- Manage customers, reviews, ads, and appointments from one place

- Keep working with existing CRM, email, phone, and calendar tools

- Local service businesses such as salons, repair, cleaning, and pet care

- Appointment-based stores such as clinics, dental offices, and fitness studios

- Lead-driven professional services such as renovation, legal, and accounting

- Single-store or small chain owners without an operations team

Launch access runs through a waitlist, so you may wait before onboarding, and your position depends on tier and join date. Credit-based pricing means costs rise with usage, so estimate volume before committing. Although drafts and reversibility reduce risk, automated messages still represent your business, so review the first batches carefully and adjust boundaries as you learn what the system does well. When quality matters, export a small draft first to confirm the result before producing the final file. Generated suggestions are for reference only, so verify anything that affects professional judgment or important data.
