AI receptionist
An AI receptionist that does the job of a human front desk — at a tenth of the cost.
7-day trial · 30 minutes included · No credit card.
An AI receptionist is software that answers your business phone, books appointments, qualifies leads, and texts you a summary — without you hiring a person. It's how more small businesses are handling the 30–50% of calls that come in outside business hours, during lunch, or when the front desk is already on another line.

Questions
ai receptionist — FAQ
How is an AI receptionist different from a human one?+
Same job — answer the phone, book the appointment, take the message. AI does it 24/7, never sick days, and the cost stays flat as call volume grows. A human receptionist costs $35,000+/yr; RingOwl starts at $49/mo.
Does it sound human?+
Modern voice AI sounds natural enough that most callers don't realize. You can disclose it if you want — it's a setting.
What does setup look like?+
About 15 minutes. Paste your website (we extract hours/services/FAQs), pick a voice, connect Google Calendar, forward your business line. You're live.
Will it work for my industry?+
Yes for any appointment-heavy SMB — real estate, dental, medical, law, salon, home services, automotive, professional services. Each gets a vertical-specific pack on signup.
