7 Reasons Businesses Use an AI Receptionist
You can't answer the phone while you're with a customer, on a job or in a meeting. Some callers who reach voicemail call someone else. An AI receptionist answers your business calls 24/7, asks your questions and puts a transcript and summary of each call it handles in your dashboard. Here's why.
01. Callers get an answer, not a voicemail greeting
If a ringing phone goes unanswered, you may not hear from that caller again. Calls you forward to the AI receptionist are answered 24/7, so callers can talk to it instead of a beep.
02. Your greeting. Your questions.
It doesn't use a generic script. We set up your greeting and the questions you want asked, and review them with you before it answers a real call. Callers hear the same questions, so you get consistent details.
03. The details you need to call back
Name. Callback number. What they're calling about, in their own words. When it's best to call them back. You return the call already knowing what they want.
04. Read each call in your dashboard
Each call it handles gets a transcript and summary in your dashboard. You can skim the summary or read the whole conversation. Nothing depends on a scribbled note.
05. Your customers keep calling the number they know
You don't need a new number or new business cards. You set up call forwarding with your phone carrier, and your customers keep dialing yours.
06. Set up for how your calls sound
A car dealership, a law firm, a real estate agent and a home service business each need different questions. See the version for yours: AI receptionist for car dealerships · AI receptionist for law firms · AI receptionist for real estate agents · AI receptionist for home services.
07. See exactly what you get for each call
Each call it handles has a summary and a full transcript in your dashboard, so you can judge it for yourself.
