AI Receptionist FAQ

An AI receptionist is software that answers your business phone with a natural-sounding voice. It understands what callers ask, answers from your business information, books appointments, takes messages and transfers urgent calls, just like a front desk person would.

You forward your business line to the number we give you. When a call comes in, the AI picks up instantly, listens to the caller, answers from what it knows about your business and takes the right action, then sends you a summary of the call.

For most small businesses, yes. Every missed call is a customer who may call a competitor instead. An AI receptionist answers all of them, 24/7, starting at $49 a month, which is less than one day of a part-time receptionist's wages.

Yes. It checks your availability and books callers into Google Calendar or AppointmentReminder.com while they are still on the line, then can text them a confirmation.

It won't make judgment calls it hasn't been trained for, like quoting a complex custom job or handling a sensitive complaint. For those, it takes a detailed message or transfers the caller to you, so nothing falls through the cracks.

Voicemail and "press 1 for sales" menus make callers do the work, and many hang up. An AI receptionist has a real conversation: it answers the question, books the appointment or takes the message in one call.
