For gig workers, consultants and moonlighters

A second phone number for gig workers and independents.

Give customers one number. The AI assistant answers while you work.

You fix, clean, move, tutor, consult or run a 1099 business on nights and weekends. The calls come when your hands are full. Redtie gives you a real US number for the work, and an AI assistant that picks up when you can’t.

You can take over the call any time, or follow its real-time transcription live, in the Redtie app on your computer or phone.

On the job

When you’re working and can’t pick up.

A missed call is often a missed job: the customer calls the next person on the list. Here’s what happens instead.

Hands fullYou’re under a sink when a new customer calls.

The AI assistant answers. The assistant gets their name, what they need and where, and reads the callback number back to check it. The summary is in your texts before you’ve packed up.

MoonlightingYou’re at your day job, in a meeting.

Set the AI assistant to answer every call on your side-business line while you work. You read the summaries at lunch.

ConsultingYou’re with one client when another calls.

The AI assistant takes the message and the best time to call back. Your client never hears your phone ring.

BookingA customer wants you on Thursday at four.

The request goes on your Outlook calendar as a tentative event. Confirm it when you’re free.

What you get

A work phone line for a one-person business.

Your personal number stays private

Put your Redtie number on flyers, your website and your listings. Your own cell number stays yours.

An assistant that talks

Not voicemail and not a menu. The AI assistant talks with the caller, screens out spam and takes a proper message.

A summary after every call

By text (opt-in), by email, or both, with a link to the full transcript.

Take the call when it’s worth it

Watch the conversation as it happens and take the call over from the assistant at any point.

One line per venture

Up to five numbers on one account: the handyman business, the consulting, the photography. $25 a line.

Rent out a property too?

Give tenants their own number, answered the same way. Redtie for landlords.

Works with what you use

Works with your calendar and contacts.

Outlook and Microsoft 365 calendars

When a caller wants to book, the AI assistant adds the request to your Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft 365 calendar as a tentative event. You keep it or decline it.

Apple Calendar, in one tap

Using Apple Calendar? The call summary has an “Add to calendar” button. One tap and the appointment is in.

Your contacts

Contacts come from Microsoft 365 and your phone’s address book. When someone in them calls, the AI assistant greets them by name.

Questions from gig workers, answered.

Can I get a second phone number without a second phone?

Yes. Redtie runs as an app on Android, on Mac and Windows, and in your browser, so your work number sits alongside your personal one on the devices you already have. The iPhone and iPad apps are in App Store review.

Is it a real phone number?

Yes. Every line is a real US phone number. Customers call it like any other number, and when you call out from Redtie they see your work number, not your personal one.

What happens when I can’t pick up?

The AI assistant answers. The assistant asks who’s calling and what they need, screens out spam, and reads the callback number back to check it. You get a summary by text or email, and you can watch the call live and take it over.

I have a day job. Can it answer my side-business calls while I’m at work?

Yes. Set the AI assistant to answer every call on that line while you’re busy, and switch it back to answering only when you don’t pick up once you’re free.

Can I have a number for each side business?

Yes. One account holds up to five lines, each with its own number and settings, at $25 a month per line.

How much does it cost?

$25 a month per line, after a 7-day free trial. There’s no per-minute charge for calls or captions, and you can cancel anytime.
