Common Questions

Everything you need to know before putting this employee to work.

No — the AI Receptionist integrates with your existing phone system. Whether you're on a landline, VoIP, or RingCentral, we work alongside it. You keep your number. We just make sure every call gets answered.
The moment a call is missed, the AI sends a personalized SMS to the caller's number within 60 seconds. The message is context-aware (based on your business type) and the AI continues the conversation via text — qualifying the lead and booking an appointment without you lifting a finger.
Yes. The AI Receptionist connects directly to Google Calendar, Calendly, Acuity, and most popular booking software. It checks real-time availability and books appointments that actually fit your schedule — no double-bookings, no back-and-forth.
The AI knows its limits. When a question is outside its configured scope, it escalates to you or a team member immediately — with a full call transcript and context summary so you can jump in without starting from scratch.
English is the primary language. Spanish is available on all plans. Additional languages are available on Enterprise plans — contact us to discuss your specific requirements.
