AI Receptionist

Never miss a call.
Never miss an appointment.

An AI receptionist that answers every call, books appointments into your calendar, and routes the important stuff to the right person. Works 24/7. Handles 10 calls at once. Costs 70-85% less than hiring.

An AI receptionist is a voice-based virtual receptionist that answers phone calls for your business. It greets callers naturally, books appointments by checking your calendar in real time, answers frequently asked questions, routes calls to the right person or department, and takes messages when staff are unavailable. It handles multiple calls simultaneously, works around the clock, and connects to your existing booking and CRM systems.

The Problem

How many calls does your front desk miss?

If you're like most practices and small businesses, the answer is "more than you think."

38%

of calls to small businesses go unanswered during business hours

80%

of callers who reach voicemail don't leave a message

67%

of callers who can't reach you call a competitor instead

Your receptionist handles walk-ins, paperwork, and internal requests at the same time as the phone. When two calls come in at once, one goes to voicemail. That voicemail is usually a new patient, a new client, or a time-sensitive enquiry. They don't call back.

FAQ

AI receptionist questions

What does an AI receptionist actually do?

It answers calls, greets callers naturally, books appointments by checking your real-time availability, answers common questions from your knowledge base, routes calls to specific people or departments, and takes messages. It handles multiple calls simultaneously and works around the clock.

Can it book appointments directly into my calendar?

Yes. It connects to Calendly, Google Calendar, Acuity, or your custom booking system. The AI checks available slots in real time, books the appointment, sends confirmation to the caller and your team, and handles rescheduling or cancellations.

Is it suitable for healthcare practices?

Absolutely. Many of our clients are dental practices, physiotherapy clinics, and GP offices. The AI handles appointment booking, prescription refill routing, insurance prompts, and basic triage — sending urgent calls to staff immediately while managing routine ones automatically.

How much does it cost vs. hiring a receptionist?

A full-time receptionist costs $30,000-$45,000/year plus benefits, PTO, and training. An AI receptionist costs 70-85% less, handles unlimited concurrent calls, and runs 24/7. Use the calculator above for your specific numbers.

Will callers know it's AI?

The AI uses natural speech synthesis and introduces itself honestly. But the conversation feels smooth and professional. Most callers care about getting their appointment booked or question answered — not who's on the other end. We match the voice to your brand's tone.

Can it transfer calls to specific people?

Yes. You set routing rules by department, topic, caller ID, or time of day. The AI can do warm transfers with a conversation summary or take a message if the person is unavailable. You control the logic.

What if our office internet goes down?

The AI runs on cloud infrastructure with 99.9% uptime. Calls route through the carrier network, so even if your office loses internet, the AI receptionist keeps answering. Your callers never notice a thing.
