OUR STORY
Built so no Canadian business ever loses a call again.
Cedri is an AI phone receptionist for Canadian small businesses. It answers every call 24/7, books real appointments, and speaks English and French — so the work you earned never goes to a competitor's voicemail.
The problem we set out to fix
Most small businesses miss a huge share of their calls — after hours, while they're on a job, or when both lines are already busy. Every one of those rings is a customer ready to buy. And most of them don't leave a message. They call the next name on the list.
80% hang up on voicemail
Roughly 8 in 10 callers who reach voicemail hang up and call a competitor instead of leaving a message.
The calls come at the worst time
Evenings, weekends, holidays, mid-job — exactly when no one is free to pick up the phone.
A missed call is real money
Each one is a job, a booking, a patient — lost in silence and impossible to win back.
Our mission
Turn missed calls into booked jobs. That's the whole point of Cedri. Not an answering service that takes a message — a receptionist that handles the entire call, from hello to a confirmed appointment, while you keep working.
What makes Cedri different
Plenty of tools can pick up a phone. Cedri was built for one thing: closing the call for Canadian businesses, the way a great front-desk hire would.
Canadian-built
Designed and operated by a Canadian team in Toronto, for Canadian small businesses — phone numbers, area codes, and all.
Bilingual from day one
Cedri handles calls in English and French, auto-detecting the caller's language and switching mid-call. Not bolted on later — built in from the start.
Reads your business, not a generic script
Cedri reads your website and answers from your real content — your prices, your hours, your services. No made-up generic replies.
Privacy-first by default
Your data stays in Canada and we never use your calls to train any AI model. Privacy isn't a setting here — it's the foundation.
It actually books
Checks live availability, picks a slot, syncs with your Google Calendar, and texts a confirmation to you and the caller — all before they hang up.
Live in minutes, flat-rate
Paste your website, connect a number, go live. Flat monthly pricing from $29 — no per-minute charges, no surprise bills.
What we believe
A few principles guide every decision we make — from how the AI talks to your customers to where we store a single call recording.
Every call matters
The smallest shop deserves a receptionist that never sleeps. We measure ourselves by the calls you stop losing.
Plain talk, no jargon
Cedri speaks like a real person to your customers, and we explain pricing and privacy the same way to you.
Canadian to the core
Built here, run here, with your data kept here. Bilingual and compliant because that's what working in Canada means.
Your data is yours
You control what's kept and what's deleted. We never train AI on your calls, period.
Privacy and compliance, built in
We handle real customer conversations, so we treat that responsibility seriously. Your recordings, transcripts, and customer information never leave Canada.
Canadian data residency
Everything stays in a Toronto data centre (ca-central-1). It never leaves the country.
PIPEDA & Law 25 aligned
Privacy-by-default, built to meet PIPEDA and Quebec's Law 25.
Encrypted end to end
TLS 1.3 in transit, AES-256 at rest, signature-verified webhooks, and SOC 2-aligned controls.
You stay in control
Set retention, delete any recording or transcript from the dashboard, and close your account with a 30-day window.
The team and the tech
Cedri is built by a small Canadian team in Toronto, on infrastructure trusted by businesses worldwide — so your receptionist is reliable, fast, and secure without you ever thinking about it.
Voice & telephony
Vapi powers the natural voice; Twilio handles calls and SMS across every Canadian area code.
Intelligence
Anthropic's Claude reads your website and builds your FAQs so Cedri answers from your real content.
Data & delivery
Supabase secures your database and accounts; Stripe handles billing; Resend delivers your email.
