Can the AI receptionist book appointments?

Yes. It checks your real calendar availability, books the appointment during the call, and sends the caller a confirmation by text — no human touch needed. It also handles reschedules and cancellations.

What happens if a caller needs a human?

The AI does a warm transfer to your team with full context when it detects buying signals, sensitive situations, or an explicit request. After hours, it takes a detailed message and sends an SMS follow-up so the lead stays warm.

Does it work with my existing phone number?

Yes. Your existing business number stays the same — calls are answered by the AI through simple call forwarding. Setup takes days, not weeks, and there is zero disruption to your current line.

Will callers know they're talking to an AI?

The agent identifies itself as an AI assistant, which is best practice and legally required in several US states. It doesn't hurt results: callers care about being helped instantly, and a 3-second answer with a real resolution beats a hold queue every time.

Q: How much does an AI receptionist cost?

Most small businesses pay $99–$300 per month flat for a fully configured AI receptionist — compared with $200–$800/month for a live answering service or roughly $4,600/month all-in for a full-time human receptionist. Setup for a custom-trained agent is typically included or a small one-time fee.

62% of calls to small businesses go unanswered — and 85% of those callers never call back. Your AI receptionist answers every call, books appointments, qualifies leads, and texts back anyone who hangs up. From $99/month.

The problem

Missed calls are the most expensive
line item you never see.

At a $300 average ticket, missing 10 calls a week quietly costs a small business around $39,000 a year. The calls cluster exactly when you're busiest — on jobs, with customers, after hours — and they go straight to your competitor.
