Module 01 · Capability

AI receptionists,
always on.

Voice agents that pick up, book, reschedule, handle FAQs, and warm-transfer when judgment is needed. Sound like one of yours, not like a robot. Live in your phone system in 2–4 weeks.

What this fixes

Three things every
service business recognises.

If any of these sound like Tuesday at your front desk, you're who we built this for.

Problem 01

Calls go unanswered.

Industry studies put missed-call rates at SMB service businesses between 20% and 60%+, depending on staffing and call volume. Each missed call is a missed booking, a missed lead, a customer who quietly goes elsewhere — and ~85% of those callers don't call back.

Problem 02

FAQs eat your team alive.

The same five questions, asked eighty times a day. Your front desk burns out answering "what time do you open?" instead of doing real work.

Problem 03

After-hours leakage.

Customers don't keep banker's hours. The 7pm caller who can't reach you doesn't call back tomorrow — they call the next number on the list.

Sample transmission

What it
actually sounds like.

A real reschedule call, lightly anonymised. Eighteen seconds of conversation, three CRM updates, zero humans involved.

What ships

What's in the box.

Six things you get with every AI receptionist engagement. No surprise scope creep, no fuzzy SOW.

01

A voice that sounds like one of yours.

Custom voice persona — name, tone, accent, vocabulary — aligned with your brand. Trained on your scripts, your services, your scheduling rules. Pick male/female/neutral; pick warm-and-cheerful or measured-and-professional.

02

Native integration with your stack.

Hooks straight into your calendar (Cal.com, Calendly, Google), CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive), and phone system (Twilio, RingCentral, Aircall). No new logins for your team.

03

Smart escalation, not dead-ends.

When the agent hits something it shouldn't handle — pricing negotiation, complaint, sensitive request — it warm-transfers to a human, with full context already passed in the handoff.

04

Daily transcripts + weekly insight.

Every call recorded, transcribed, and summarised. Weekly digest tells you what callers asked about most, where the agent struggled, what to add to its playbook next.

05

24/7 monitoring with alerts.

We watch the agent so you don't have to. If accuracy drops, latency spikes, or call volume looks off, we know before you do — and fix it before you notice.

06

Continuous training, monthly.

Every month we review where the agent stumbled and ship a small improvement. The agent gets sharper over time, not duller. Onboarding never really ends — it just slows down.

How it works

Four steps,
end to end.

Step 1

Caller dials.

Existing line. Toll-free, local, or branded. No porting, no rewrites — we plug in behind your number.

Step 2

Agent picks up.

Under 2 seconds answer. Natural voice. Real conversation. The caller forgets they're talking to AI.

Step 3

Intent + action.

Books, reschedules, answers, or escalates — all live, all in one call. Never a "let me check and call you back."

Step 4

Logged everywhere.

CRM updated, calendar booked, SMS sent, you notified. Everyone who needs to know, knows. Instantly.

Mission control

Everything in one place.

A live dashboard you can pull up any time, on any device. Watch active calls. Read transcripts. Hear recordings. See trends. Take over a call mid-flow if you want to.

~62% missed

Inbound calls to small and mid-sized service businesses that go unanswered during business hours. 85% of those callers don't call back. An always-on AI agent on the front line is the cleanest fix.

Frequently asked

Questions we get a lot.

Will my customers know it's an AI?
If your transparency standards require disclosure, we add a brief opener ("You're speaking with our virtual receptionist…"). If not, the agent is convincing enough that most callers don't ask. Either way, customers consistently rate the experience as helpful — better, in many cases, than the human who used to sound tired at 4pm.
How long does setup take?
From signed engagement to live agent: 2 to 4 weeks. Week 1: discovery + persona. Week 2: build + integrations. Week 3: pilot calls with you listening in. Week 4: gradual production rollout. We don't believe in three-month receptionist projects.
What if the agent gets something wrong?
Three safety nets. One: the agent escalates anything outside its trained scope to a human warm-transfer. Two: we monitor every call and flag low-confidence interactions for review. Three: if anything ships badly, we fix it the same day. Most clients have a single 'oops' in the first month and zero after.
How much does it actually save?
Depends on call volume. Typical client saves 80–160 hours of front-desk time per month, plus recovers 12–25% more bookings from after-hours calls that would have otherwise leaked. We model this in the audit before you commit.
Can I take over a call mid-flow?
Yes. There's a one-button live-takeover from any device. The agent gracefully hands off with summary in chat. We don't believe in opaque AI — your team can always step in.
Multi-language support?
Yes. The agent can pivot mid-call based on the caller's language. We've shipped English/Spanish bilingual receptionists, English/French, and trilingual (English/Spanish/Portuguese). Each language is a separate persona, tuned independently.
What's it cost?
One AI receptionist is included in the Engine tier ($3,500/mo). Additional agents are $400/mo each as add-ons. Plus pass-through provider costs (Twilio + ElevenLabs + LLM API), typically $150–600/mo depending on call volume. Full breakdown in the audit.
