You do the work. We run the systems around it.

Metabus sets up and runs the software side of a small firm. Customers get answered in seconds. Calls land on your calendar. You get one page every Monday that tells you what happened.

Run by engineers who shipped AI to millions of users. Every system gets checked from every angle before it goes live.

WHAT WE RUN

Three ways in

A phone screen showing the bot replying to a new customer in under 30 seconds with a Thursday 2pm slot offer.

The AI setter

Texts every customer back in under 30 seconds. Asks the right things. Books the call and reminds them the morning of. Our first offer and the one most firms start with.

Calendar showing a booked Thursday 2pm intro call and a morning-of reminder on the customer's phone.

The Never-Miss Line

Same phone and same number. Every missed call gets a text back in 30 seconds. Same-day live. Cancel any day. The smallest way to start.

HOW WE WORK

Checked from every angle before it goes live

Every bot we ship gets tested on 30 real chats before it ever texts a customer. Every change gets tested again. You see the scores.

You own everything. The script, the notes, the chats, and the phone list. Ask any time and we send it over.

Small team. The engineers who wrote your system are the same people who pick up when you call.

MORE THAN THE SETTER

The rest of what we run

The setter is where most firms start. Here is the wider set we set up and run. We only list what we have shipped for a client or for ourselves.

The AI setter

Texts every customer back in under 30 seconds and books the call.

The Never-Miss Line

Keep your phone and your number. Every missed call gets a text back in 30 seconds.

Websites

We ship the whole website. This site and dvw4ea.ca run on our stack.

A simple CRM

One clean place for your leads, your calls, your notes, and your follow-ups. We set it up and run it.

Lead forms, even the hard ones

Some forms need more than a name and an email. We shipped a photo-map form where people pin a spot and add a picture.

Ads and a Monday report

We run the ads and send you one page every Monday. It shows what came in and what closed.

FOR PUBLIC BODIES

Running a public consultation?

Councils, business improvement areas and conservation authorities have consultations in the workplan and nobody whose job it is. No single approach, every department with its own, and a coordinator you cannot justify hiring for two a year.

We stand the whole thing up and run it. The site with your name on it, the forms, the targeted advertising that reaches the residents an online consultation misses, the moderation, and a written record of what was said. You never operate anything.

ONE REAL CAMPAIGN, AND WHAT WE CAN SHOW FROM IT

about $6
per lead form
Read off Meta Ads Manager on 2026-05-20, mid-campaign. Best ad set was $5.32.
7,561
people reached
Meta-reported on the same read, from 24,096 impressions.
17 to 45
approved contest entries
Their previous contest against this one, 2.6x. Counted in our own database on 2026-07-31.

The ads and the contest ran in the same window. Submissions carry no campaign tag, so the link between the two is an inference, not a measurement.

CLIENTS WE RUN TODAY

Jonathan Dostrovsky, Don Valley West Campaign Lead
The program is really great and its use has led to the submission of 48 beautiful photos to our competition.

OUR SHOPS AND OUR CLIENTS

Systems we run today

DVW4EA proof artifact

DVW4EA

A paid Meta lead-form campaign for a ward photo contest. Meta reported lead forms at about $6 each mid-campaign. Over the same window their approved contest entries went from 17 in the previous contest to 45, counted in our own database. Nothing joins those two records, so the ads driving the entries is an inference, not a measurement. Same mechanism configured for your RFP intake.
