Systems and pricing.
Lonely Pine AI sells three things: two fixed-price AI systems and one executive seat. The AI Receptionist answers your phone. The AI Knowledge Expert answers your questions. The Fractional Chief AI Officer seat runs your whole AI roadmap. Every price is on this page, because operators hate calling for pricing as much as I do. All three are built, shipped, and then operated by me.

The AI Receptionist is a custom-built AI phone agent that answers, books, and routes every call to your business, day and night. It is built on your menus, rates, and policies, connected to your calendar, CRM, and point of sale, and I operate it after it goes live. It is not an IVR and not a phone tree.

In July 2026, one Receptionist line at a Hawaii food truck answered 655 calls, took 78 phone orders worth $3,829, and blocked 224 robocalls before they reached the owner.

The AI Knowledge Expert is an AI assistant trained on your documents, SOPs, and property knowledge. It answers guests and staff in chat, email, and on the phone, and cites where each answer came from. Every question it fields is one your team doesn't have to.

A Hawaii property management team now asks plain-English questions against hundreds of governing documents and Hawaii statutes, and gets cited answers in seconds instead of an afternoon of digging.
Start with the Knowledge ExpertNobody at your companyowns AI.
A fractional Chief AI Officer is an executive who owns AI strategy and delivery for your company without being a full-time hire. At Lonely Pine, the seat is one flat monthly engagement: I map your AI roadmap, sequence it by payback, design, build, and run every system on it, and report to you monthly like an executive.
Flat monthly, scoped on the strategy call. 30-day out. Less than the cost of a junior hire. The Receptionist and Knowledge Expert are part of the work, not extra invoices. Every number on the Lonely Pine homepage shipped from this seat.

Questions operators ask.
How is an AI receptionist different from an IVR or a phone tree?
An IVR plays menus at your caller. The AI Receptionist holds a conversation: it answers questions from your own playbook, takes the booking or the order, and routes anything it should not handle to a human. It is custom-built for your operation and operated after launch, not a self-serve subscription.
How long does it take to go live?
Your first system ships in weeks at a flat price, and you approve everything before it goes live. The current record is 48 hours from signed-and-paid to live, for a voice agent at a Maui condominium in August 2026.
Who runs the system after launch?
I do. Operation is included in the monthly fee: I watch it, measure it, and improve it, and you get the numbers monthly. When something needs fixing it comes to me, not a ticket queue.
Does it work in Japanese and English?
Yes. I build bilingual systems and run them for clients in both Hawaii and Japan, and I work in both languages myself.
What does it connect to?
Calendars, CRMs, points of sale, and the notification channels your team already uses. Integration scope is agreed on the strategy call before anything is priced.
What happens to calls the AI cannot handle?
It hands the caller to a human, warm: the caller is introduced, not dumped into a second queue. Escalation rules are written with you and enforced in code, outside the model.
What does an AI receptionist cost?
At Lonely Pine, $5,000 to build and $750 per month to run, as of September 2026. The Knowledge Expert is $10,000 to build with the same $750 monthly. No per-minute surprises inside agreed usage.
