AI Receptionist
24/7 live
An AI receptionist is an AI agent that answers inbound calls and messages automatically, understands what the caller needs, can book appointments and hands the conversation to a human agent when required.
Answers calls around the clock, books appointments, routes callers to the right team and keeps every interaction in a consistent company tone.
What problem does it solve?
Front-desk and call-centre teams lose time to repetitive intake, missed calls and manual routing. Calls that arrive outside business hours usually go unanswered.
How does it work?
The agent receives the request from your telephony or messaging channel, resolves the caller’s intent, verifies details against connected sources and then books an appointment or routes the call according to workflows you define. A summary and the captured data are passed to the connected system.
Supported workflows
- Answer inbound calls and messages in a consistent, on-brand tone
- Book appointments and route callers to the right team or queue
- Capture caller intent and pass the conversation summary to your systems
- Unify telephony, calendar and CRM steps into a single process
Who it is for
- Customer service and front-office teams with high call volume
- Clinics, hospitality and appointment-driven service businesses
- Retail and commerce teams that need faster request intake
Integration possibilities
We connect AI Receptionist to telephony, booking and CRM systems such as:
ElevenLabs, Booking.com, Airbnb, HubSpot, Salesforce, Calendly, Google Calendar, Twilio, WhatsApp.
When a human is needed
When a request falls outside the defined workflow, or the caller asks for a person, the conversation is handed to your team together with the context collected so far. You define the handoff points.
Why businesses use it
It scales call handling without replacing your existing telephony or CRM setup, so your team spends time on conversations that need judgement rather than repetitive intake.
