What is an AI receptionist?
An AI receptionist is a voice agent that answers your business phone, 24 hours a day, in natural conversation. It answers common questions, asks your screening questions, books appointments on your calendar, transfers urgent calls and logs every call so nothing is lost.

What it does on a call
- Greets callers with your business name
- Answers questions about hours, services and service area
- Asks your qualifying questions
- Books, moves or cancels appointments on your real calendar
- Transfers urgent or sensitive calls to a person
- Sends a summary of every call to your CRM or email
How it differs from voicemail and answering services
Voicemail answers but does nothing. A live answering service takes messages during covered hours, from a script. An AI receptionist answers every call at any hour and can complete the task, such as booking the job, inside your systems.
