Based in Wayzata, Minnesota  ·  Serving local businesses across the Lake Minnetonka area & clients worldwide

Wayzata & Lake Minnetonka

A local AI answering service, run by people you can actually meet.

Summit Automation is based in Wayzata, Minnesota. We build AI receptionists and website chatbots for businesses around Lake Minnetonka and across the west metro — and unlike the national platforms selling the same thing, we'll sit down with you, learn what your customers ask, and hand you something that sounds like your business rather than a template.

Why local matters here

The national services can't do this part

Search for an answering service and you'll find a dozen companies with a page for every city in America, written by nobody, for no one in particular.

A national platform

You sign up online, configure it yourself from a dashboard, and get support through a ticket queue. The script is generic because it was written for every business in every city at once. Nobody has heard of Lake Minnetonka, and nobody is driving to your shop if something sounds wrong.

Working with us

We meet you, listen to how you actually talk to customers, and build the script around that. You call one number and get a person who knows your name and your business. When you want something changed, it's changed that day — and we're close enough to come see the problem in person.

Where we work

Around the lake and across the west metro

In person throughout these communities — and remotely for businesses anywhere, since everything we build runs in the cloud.

In person, same day

Close enough that meeting face to face is never a production. Most of our clients we've met at their counter.

What we build

Two systems, one goal: stop losing customers you already earned

AI Voice Receptionist

Answers every call in under two seconds, 24/7. Knows your hours, services and pricing rules, books the job, and texts you the details before the caller has put their phone down.

Website Chatbot

Answers the visitors who would never pick up the phone, captures their name and number, and books them in — at nine at night, on a Sunday, whenever they happen to be looking.

Local questions

What Wayzata owners ask

Do you actually work with businesses in Wayzata, or is this a national company?
We're based in Wayzata and this is where we work. If you're in town or around the lake we'll meet you in person, learn your business face to face, and you'll always reach a local human when you call — not a support queue in another time zone.
How is this different from a national answering service?
A national service staffs a call center reading from a script, usually bills by the minute, and knows nothing about the Lake Minnetonka area. Ours is trained specifically on your business, answers in under two seconds every time, costs a flat monthly fee, and is set up by someone who can drive to your shop.
Which areas do you cover?
Wayzata, Minnetonka, Plymouth, Orono, Excelsior, Deephaven, Long Lake, Maple Grove, Minneapolis, St. Paul and the wider Twin Cities metro in person — and businesses anywhere in the world remotely, since everything we build runs in the cloud.
What kinds of local businesses use this?
Home services take to it fastest — HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping — because their calls arrive at bad hours and each job is worth a lot. Salons, auto shops, dental practices and real estate agents are close behind for the same reason: the call comes while they are busy with the customer in front of them.
Can we meet in person before I commit?
Yes, and we'd prefer it. Coffee in Wayzata, or we'll come to your shop. Fifteen minutes is usually enough for you to decide whether this is worth doing.
