What is an AI receptionist?
- An AI receptionist is a virtual receptionist that answers your business phone. It picks up every call, answers common questions, takes details and books appointments, then texts you what came in.
Will callers know it isn’t a person?
- Yes, and they should. It says briefly that the caller is speaking to your assistant and that the call may be recorded. It speaks naturally, and anything it can’t handle is passed to you as a message.
Can I keep my business phone number?
- Yes. Calls you can’t answer are forwarded, so customers ring the same number they always have.
How much are missed calls costing my business?
- Take the calls you miss in a week, the share that would have booked, and your average job value. Even two lost jobs a week adds up to thousands a year. Our free check helps you work out your own number.
Can you answer my calls out of hours?
- Yes. Evenings, weekends and bank holidays are covered. Out-of-hours callers get answered, can book a slot, and you see every enquiry in the morning.
What is missed call text back?
- When you can’t answer, the caller automatically gets a text saying sorry you missed them, with a way to book or reply. It stops them ringing a competitor.
Can it reply to customers on WhatsApp?
- Yes. We set up WhatsApp for your business so customers get instant replies, can book and get reminders automatically.
Is it cheaper than a receptionist or answering service?
- Usually, yes. A full-time receptionist in the UK typically costs around £2,000 to £2,500 a month including National Insurance and pension. You’ll get an exact price in your quote.
What happens to calls it can’t handle?
- They’re passed to you as a message with the caller’s details, so you can call back. Urgent calls can be flagged straight away.
