What we do 04
An AI receptionist that answers questions, books appointments, and puts callers through to your team. Set up around your business, and tested with you before it takes a single call.
Example calls
Pick a business like yours. Each example plays like a live call, then shows what lands with your team.
Ringing
Answers a vaccine question and books a groom.
Tuesday, 2:14 PM
What your team gets
Example calls, written to show how calls are handled. Your receptionist is set up with your own business information.
Built to be trusted
Clear rules, agreed with you before launch, so you always know what your receptionist will and won’t do.
If it doesn’t know, it says so and takes a message. It never invents prices, availability, or policies.
Without a connected calendar, your team gets a request to confirm instead.
It transfers callers to your team or takes a message. When every line is busy, callers reach your agreed fallback.
If a caller asks, it says so.
Recording stays off unless you choose it. Transcripts and summaries are kept for 30 days, and you can ask for an export at any time.
We can run the AI model on your computer, or one we supply, with our cloud as a backup. Calls still connect through our phone partner.
How setup works
Every receptionist is configured once you’re on board: your services, your calendar, your team, and your rules.
Your services, hours, common questions, and who handles what.
Greeting, answers, booking, transfers, and messages, shaped to how you work.
We test common and tricky calls with you before launch.
A monthly review of sample calls, and up to 30 minutes of updates each month.
Before you sign up
Straight answers about setup, your calls, and your records. Billing questions are with the plans below.
Usually one to two weeks. In that time we learn how your calls go, build your receptionist, and test it with you. It takes its first real call only once you’re happy with how it sounds.
What you’d tell a new receptionist on their first day: your services and prices, your hours, the questions you hear most, your policies, and who should take which calls. Your website or a price list, plus one short call, is usually enough.
Yes. Your number stays with your phone provider, and calls forward to your receptionist. Depending on your provider, you can forward every call, or only the ones your team doesn’t pick up.
If we supply a number instead and you want to keep it when you leave, tell us before you cancel. We’ll confirm first whether it can transfer and what that costs.
It answers in English as standard. Spanish or another language can be added, and we’ll quote it at setup.
It never pretends to be a person. If a caller asks, it says it’s an AI. If you’d like callers told from the first hello, we can put it in your greeting.
It says so instead of guessing, then takes a message or puts the caller through to your team. It never makes up prices, availability, or policies. If nobody picks up a transfer, it takes a message. AI can still make mistakes, so we test it with you before launch and review sample calls every month.
Yes, if your schedule is in Google Calendar, Outlook, or iCloud. We connect it through Cal.com. It checks open times, books the caller in, and says they’re booked only after your calendar confirms. If you book through software we can’t connect to, it takes booking requests for your team to confirm. We’ll tell you which applies before you sign up.
It answers two calls at once. A third caller goes to the backup number you choose at setup, such as your mobile. If the receptionist is ever unavailable, calls go to that backup instead.
Your team gets an email after each call with a short summary. Messages and callback requests arrive the same way, with the caller’s name and number. Transcripts are kept for 30 days, and you can ask us for them at any time.
Yes. Send us a new service, a price change, or holiday hours, and we’ll update it. Up to 30 minutes of updates a month are included. We also review a sample of calls each month to catch anything it could handle better.
Not unless you choose to. If you turn recording on, callers hear a short notice at the start of the call. Transcripts, summaries, and any recordings are kept for 30 days, then deleted. You can ask for an export at any time, including in the 30 days after service ends. Records still delete on schedule, so ask before you cancel if you want a complete copy.
Yes. If you’d prefer the AI model on your own hardware, it can run on your computer or one we supply. Our cloud takes over whenever that computer is off or slow. Calls still connect through our phone partner. You’ll need a recent Mac with Apple silicon, or a PC with a modern NVIDIA graphics card, left on and awake. We’ll check your setup and quote any hardware first.

For teams with a busy phone line.
We agree how calls should be handled, connect the supported tools in scope, and test bookings, messages, and transfers before launch.
Included minutes cover the time the AI is on a call. If a caller needs your team, the transfer is measured separately, so nothing is charged twice.
No. After the one-time $499 setup, plans run month to month. Cancel by email before your next renewal, and service continues to the end of the month you’ve paid for.
Additional AI time is $0.30/minute. After the AI leaves a connected transfer, US domestic transfer time is $0.05/minute. Extra numbers, text messages, and subscriptions for your connected tools are separate and agreed in advance. Your existing phone plan still applies if you forward your number.
We add up connected AI time to the second across your billing month, including silence and hold time while the assistant is connected. We do not round each call up to a whole minute. Connected transfer time is measured separately at its published rate, with no overlapping AI and transfer charge. Setup and testing calls are excluded. Included minutes reset each month and do not roll over.
There’s no cap, and no automatic plan changes. Extra AI time is $0.30/minute and connected US transfer time is $0.05/minute, both itemized on your monthly bill. We never move you to a higher-priced plan automatically. If your calls grow, we can help you compare plans.
These plans use an AI assistant and can transfer calls to your own team. A separately staffed answering service is not included.
