Getting Started

Ody is a shared, AI-powered business phone and messaging workspace: one number your whole team can call and text from, with an AI receptionist.

Sign up for Ody at app.ody.co/signup with Google or your work email, then follow the five-step setup wizard to launch your workspace.

Step 1 of Ody signup asks how you'll use Ody: pick For my team to share an inbox with teammates, or Just for me for a solo business line.

Step 2 of Ody signup: enter your workspace name — what your team and customers see — plus your own name. You can rename the workspace anytime.

Step 3 of Ody signup: search live US local numbers by area code or browse toll-free options, then reserve the number your customers will call.

Step 4 of Ody signup emails invite links to your teammates right away, so they can join while you finish checkout. It's optional — skip anytime.

Compare Ody's Starter, Growth, and Enterprise plans — pricing per user, monthly vs annual billing, what every plan includes, and the free trial.

Why you see two temporary card authorizations when starting an Ody free trial — the full plan amount and $1 — and why neither is ever charged.

After checkout, Ody runs a one-minute identity check — a photo of your ID and a live selfie, handled by Stripe — before your workspace opens.

After checkout and the identity check, Ody texts a 6-digit code to your mobile. How the country picker works, how to resend, and how to fix common issues.

The last step of Ody setup: confirm the phone number you reserved (or switch to a different one) to activate it as your live business line.

Find your way around Ody: the Inbox, Calls, Contacts, AI Agent, Tasks, Analytics, and Settings screens on desktop, plus the mobile web tabs.
