AI Receptionist

An AI receptionist answers your business phone the way a well-trained front desk would — instantly, in your company name, at 2am on a Sunday. Nicole picks up on the first ring, answers the questions your callers actually ask, captures the name, number and reason for the call, books the appointment on your calendar, and texts you a summary before the caller has hung up.

In short

An AI receptionist is software that answers your business phone in a natural voice, greets callers in your company name, answers questions about your services, qualifies the caller, books appointments and sends you a written summary of the call.

What An AI Receptionist Actually Does On A Call

  • Answers on the first ring with your business greeting — never a hold queue.
  • Answers questions about your hours, service area, pricing ranges and what you do and don't handle.
  • Qualifies the caller: what they need, when they need it, where they are.
  • Books the appointment directly into your calendar or hands off a booking link.
  • Routes urgent calls to your cell using rules you set, and takes a detailed message on everything else.
  • Texts and emails you a full summary plus a transcript of the conversation.

Why Businesses Replace Voicemail With An AI Receptionist

Most callers who reach voicemail do not leave a message — they dial the next business on the list. Every unanswered call is a job that quietly went to a competitor. An AI receptionist removes that leak entirely: the phone is answered every time, including nights, weekends, holidays and the hours you are on a job with your hands full.

How Nicole Is Trained On Your Business

You paste in your services, pricing, hours, service area and the questions customers ask most. Nicole learns from that, plus anything you upload — PDFs, price lists, FAQ documents. Within minutes she is answering as if she has worked the front desk for a year. You can change her script any time and the update is live on the next call.

  • Professional services: law firms, real estate, accountants, agencies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do callers know they are talking to an AI receptionist?

Nicole sounds natural and conversational, and she will tell callers she is an AI assistant if they ask. Most callers care far more about being answered quickly and getting an appointment than about who picked up.

Can an AI receptionist transfer calls to a person?

Yes. You set the rules — for example, transfer any caller who says the word 'emergency' straight to your cell, and take a message on everything else. Nicole follows those rules on every call.

How long does setup take?

Most businesses are live the same day. You enter your business details, choose or port a number, and test Nicole by calling her yourself before you send real traffic to her.

How much does it cost?

Plans start at $99/month (Starter), $199/month (Growth) and $299/month (Pro). Every plan includes up to 250 minutes of AI call time each month, 24/7 answering, call transcripts and text summaries. There are no per-call operator fees and no contracts.
