What we've been shipping
New features, improvements and fixes to your AI receptionist, newest first.
October 2026
- New
"Request a callback" button for your website
Paste one line of code on your site and visitors get a callback button. They leave their number, and your AI receptionist calls them back within a minute.
- Improved
You get an email when a caller asks for a human
When a caller insists on speaking to a person, RingOwl now emails you right away with their name, number and what they need. Agents without transfers set up no longer promise to put callers through; they take a message instead.
- Improved
Calls list loads page by page
Busy accounts with hundreds of calls now see the Calls page load instantly, with pages instead of one long list.
- New
Live call transfers
Your AI can hand a call to you or your team. Set who gets which calls and at what times of day, and the greeting tells callers what they can be transferred to.
- New
Adjustable voice speed
Make your receptionist talk a little slower or faster from Settings → Voice.
- Fixed
Phone numbers read back clearly
When confirming a caller's number, the AI now reads it digit by digit in small groups instead of rushing through it.
- New
Intake forms with a 60-second AI callback
Host an intake form on RingOwl. When someone submits it, your AI receptionist calls them back within a minute to follow up. Callback numbers now work for any country (US by default).
- Fixed
Clearer microphone errors on test calls
If your browser blocks the microphone, the test call now tells you what went wrong and how to fix it, instead of a generic error.
September 2026
- Fixed
Minutes reset reliably on your billing date
Plan minutes now reset on your billing date every time, and calls made right after renewal count toward the new cycle.
- New
Guided three-step demo
Trying RingOwl for the first time now walks you through hearing your own AI receptionist in three short steps.
- Improved
Local area codes for forwarding numbers
New forwarding numbers now prefer an area code from your own state, so your number looks local to your callers.
- New
New $10 Lite plan
A Lite plan with 50 minutes a month for businesses that get a handful of calls a day.
June 2026
- New
Spanish and bilingual receptionists
Choose English, Spanish, or bilingual. Bilingual agents answer in whichever language the caller speaks.
Never miss a call. Never lose a booking.
