What it does

Everything a great front desk does — without the front desk

Trained on your services, your schedule, and your tone of voice. Live on your existing phone number in minutes.

Answers 24/7

Nights, weekends, lunch rushes — every call is answered on the first ring, in a natural voice that sounds like your business.

Books appointments

Connected to your real calendar. It offers open slots, books the visit, and sends the confirmation — no back-and-forth.

Missed-call text-back

If a caller hangs up, they instantly get a text that keeps the conversation alive — so the lead never goes to a competitor.

Hears frustration

Sentiment detection flags upset callers and escalates to a human with a full summary, before a bad review happens.

Answers your FAQs

Hours, pricing, directions, insurance, policies — it answers from the knowledge you give it, and says so when it doesn't know.

Logs everything

Every call is transcribed, summarized, and saved to the contact record. Your morning starts with a briefing, not voicemail.

Getting started

Working for you in minutes, not weeks

No hiring, no training period, no management overhead. Here's the whole process.

STEP 1 — CONNECT

Keep your number

Forward your existing line or get a new one — either way, callers dial the same number they always have.

STEP 2 — TRAIN

Teach it your business

Services, hours, pricing, FAQs, booking rules. Takes about 10 minutes; it speaks as your brand from the first call.

STEP 3 — ANSWER

Never miss again

It starts answering immediately. You listen to recordings, read summaries, and step into any call thread when you want.

Questions

AI Receptionist FAQ

Will callers know they're talking to an AI?
The voice is natural and conversational, and you decide how it introduces itself. Many businesses have it say it's an automated assistant — transparency builds trust, and callers mostly care that they got an answer and a booking on the first try.
Can it transfer calls to a real person?
Yes. You set the rules — transfer on request, on specific topics, or when it detects frustration. Handoffs include a live summary so your team never starts a call blind.
What happens if it doesn't know an answer?
It says so, takes a message, and routes the question to your team — it never invents answers about your business. Every unknown question is logged so you can add it to its knowledge.
How long does setup take?
Most businesses are live within 10–15 minutes: connect or forward a number, add your business details, test a call. 24/7 support is included if you want help.
