AI Receptionist for Small Businesses
An AI phone receptionist that answers every call, day or night, books appointments, answers common questions and passes urgent calls to your team. No more voicemail, no more lost jobs.
An AI receptionist is a voice assistant that answers your business phone, understands what the caller needs, answers common questions, books appointments and takes messages. It hands urgent or complex calls to a person and sends your team a summary of every call.

Every unanswered call is a job for a competitor.

Combine it with missed call text back and lead follow-up automation, and track every call in your AI dashboard.
Frequently asked questions
What is an AI receptionist?
An AI receptionist answers your business phone calls with a natural voice, handles common questions, books appointments and takes messages, then sends your team a summary. Urgent calls go to a person.
How is an AI receptionist different from an answering service?
An answering service uses human operators who usually take messages. An AI receptionist can answer instantly at any hour, book directly into your calendar and follow your exact rules, often at a lower monthly cost.
Will callers know they're talking to AI?
We recommend telling callers they're speaking with an AI assistant. It builds trust and helps you meet disclosure expectations. Callers can always ask for a person.
Can it record calls?
It can, but call-recording consent rules vary by state. We set up disclosure messages and recommend you confirm requirements with your legal adviser.
Does it work for home care agencies?
Yes. It can answer family inquiries, collect basic non-medical details and book consultations. It never gives medical advice and sends sensitive calls to your team.
