New · AI Receptionist
Up a ladder, with a customer or closed for the night, the phone still rings. Your AI receptionist answers it in your business’s name, answers questions from what you’ve told it, books the appointment or takes a message, and leaves you a short summary.
What changes
Calls answered in your name
It greets callers as your business, says it’s an AI assistant, and answers questions about your services, prices, opening hours and the areas you cover, using your website and anything else you give it.
Appointments booked while you work
With online bookings on, it offers only times your diary really has free, reads the details back, then books the caller in with the usual confirmation. It can move or cancel their bookings too.
A summary, not a voicemail
Each call is listed in your app with what happened and a short summary. Messages arrive in your inbox and your email, with a number to call back on, read back to the caller to check.

0:14Your phone rings first. When you can't pick up, it answers in your business's name, and says it's an AI assistant.
0:21It answers questions from your website and documents, then books the visit into your diary, or takes a proper message.
0:27And you get a short summary of every call it handled.

Works well with
Yes, every time. It says it’s an AI assistant when it greets them, and if your own greeting leaves that out, a line saying so is added for you. Asked directly, it says plainly that it’s an AI, never a person.
It says it isn’t sure and offers to take a message. It only answers from what you’ve given it, from your website to your documents and notes, and it’s told never to guess a price, a time or a policy.
Of course. Set it to the calls you miss and your phone rings first every time; it only picks up when you don’t. Switch it off and calls ring you exactly as they did before.
No. It books into the same diary as your booking page and only offers times that are really free. Two bookings can’t land on the same slot, even if a caller and a website visitor choose it at once.
A business number, which we set up for you, and online bookings if you’d like it to book appointments. Without bookings it answers questions and takes messages instead. Whoever is asking, it only ever talks about your business.
Book a free, no-pressure chat and we'll show you how AI receptionist would work for your business, set up and running for you.
