Bearded AI is a Bethlehem, Pennsylvania-based business that builds and deploys AI voice agents, SMS agents, and the Lunara CRM for service-based small businesses. Founded by Jesse Heiserman, we're a small operation focused on doing one thing well: helping local service businesses stop missing calls, leads, and opportunities.
We're not a venture-backed startup, not a Fortune 500 with a sales floor, not a faceless aggregator. We're a hands-on shop where the same person who builds your voice agent will pick up the phone if you call.
Custom-built AI voice agents that answer your business phone 24/7 — qualifying leads, scheduling appointments, taking messages, transferring to humans when needed. Built on top of best-in-class voice AI infrastructure (Synthflow, Retell), with scripts tuned to your specific business and integrations with your CRM.
Two-way SMS agents that handle inbound texts, follow up with leads, send appointment reminders, and reactivate cold prospects. Always disclose they're AI when required by law. Always honor STOP requests.
A local-first CRM designed for service businesses (contractors, plumbers, real estate agents, salons, auto repair, and 20+ other industries). Your data lives in your browser, not on our servers — by design. $97/month with a 14-day free trial.
Most CRMs put your data on their servers. We put it in your browser. That means we can't read your client list. We can't sell your data. We can't get hacked and lose it. The trade-off is no automatic real-time sync between devices — but we think the privacy is worth it. Cloud sync is on the roadmap as an opt-in.
Most SaaS companies plaster their site with "SOC 2 compliant" / "HIPAA compliant" / "Enterprise-grade security" badges they can't actually back up. We don't. Our Security & Compliance page tells you exactly what we have, what we don't, and what we're working toward. As we grow, we'll earn the certifications that match our customer base.
You'll get a person on the phone, not a chatbot. (Yes, we sell AI voice agents. We also recognize when a human is the right answer.) Email response in 2 hours during business days. Live phone Mon-Fri 9-6 Eastern.
Voice agent builds carry a one-time setup fee (Starter $247, Growth $447, Enterprise custom) that covers the actual build, training on your business, and live deployment. After that, it's a flat monthly subscription. No surprise overages, no hidden costs, no per-call charges that scale unpredictably.
