What is an AI receptionist?

An AI receptionist is a virtual voice agent that answers a business's phone calls around the clock using natural-sounding AI. It handles the same front-desk responsibilities a human receptionist would: greeting callers, answering common questions, qualifying leads, booking appointments directly on a calendar, routing calls to the right team member, and capturing caller information in a CRM. Unlike a voicemail system or a basic auto-attendant, an AI receptionist holds a real conversation with the caller and completes tasks in real time. It works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, does not take breaks, and never misses a call. For service businesses where every missed call is potentially a lost job, an AI receptionist captures leads and revenue that would otherwise go to whichever competitor answered first.

The Real Cost

Every Unanswered Call Has a Price Tag.

Most business owners know they're missing calls. Few realize how much it's actually costing them.

62%

Of callers won't call back.

If they hit voicemail, they move on to the next business on the list.

5 Minutes

Is all you have.

Businesses that respond within 5 minutes are dramatically more likely to win the job over those who wait.

$50,000+

Lost annually.

The average service business loses over $50,000 per year in missed call revenue.

Your competitor answered. You didn't.

When a homeowner needs a plumber, a contractor, or a med spa appointment, they call the first number they find. If no one answers, they call the second. The business that picks up wins. It is that simple. Your AI receptionist answers every single call, captures every lead, and books every appointment, even at 2 AM on a Sunday.

FAQ

Common Questions

Will it sound like a robot?

No. Your AI receptionist is configured with a natural, professional voice that is trained specifically for your business. Callers consistently report not realizing they are speaking with an AI. The goal is a receptionist experience that reflects well on your brand, not a phone tree.

What happens if a caller has a complex question or complaint?

Your receptionist is configured with escalation rules. If a call exceeds what the AI is configured to handle, it transfers to the appropriate person on your team with full context already captured. Nothing gets dropped.

Can I customize what it says and how it handles calls?

Yes, completely. Your greeting, your call flow, your FAQ responses, your routing rules, and your escalation logic are all custom built for your business during setup. This is not a template. It is built for you.

What does setup involve and how long does it take?

Setup typically takes 3 to 5 business days. It includes a discovery call, full configuration of your call flow, CRM integration, calendar connection, testing, and a live demo before you go live. The $497 setup fee covers all of this.

Do I have to change my business phone number?

No. You simply forward your existing number to your AI receptionist line. Your number stays the same. Your customers call the same number they always have.

What CRM systems does it integrate with?

We integrate with most major CRM platforms during setup. If you are unsure whether yours is supported, mention it during your setup call and we will confirm before you commit.

What happens if I go over my plan minutes?

Overage minutes are billed at $0.75 per minute at the end of your billing cycle. You will always be notified before overages accumulate significantly. If you consistently exceed your plan, we will recommend upgrading to the next tier.

What is the fair use policy on the Unlimited plan?

Unlimited minutes are designed to cover any normal single-location service business without restriction. Accounts averaging more than 3,000 minutes per month over a 90-day period may be reviewed. If your usage consistently exceeds this, we work with you on a custom plan that reflects your actual volume.
