Frequently Asked Questions
Virtual Receptionist FAQs
Everything you need to know about our AI-powered virtual receptionist and after hours answering service.
How does an AI-powered after hours answering service work?
Our AI receptionist uses advanced natural language processing to understand callers and respond naturally. It can answer questions about your business, schedule appointments, take messages, and route urgent calls—all without human intervention. The system works 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
Will callers know they’re talking to an AI virtual receptionist?
Our AI is designed to sound natural and professional. Many callers don’t realize they’re speaking with an automated phone system. You can customize the voice, tone, and responses to match your brand perfectly.
Can the AI receptionist handle appointment scheduling?
Yes. The AI integrates with popular calendar systems to check availability and book appointments in real-time. Callers receive instant confirmation via text messaging, and you get notified immediately of new bookings.
What happens if a caller has an urgent issue?
You define what counts as urgent. The AI receptionist can immediately forward critical calls to your cell phone or on-call team member while handling routine inquiries independently.
How is this different from pre-recorded messages or phone trees?
Traditional automated systems use rigid menu options and pre-recorded messages. Our AI actually converses with callers, understands context, and responds appropriately—just like a trained human receptionist.
How much does an AI phone answering service cost?
Pricing depends on your call volume and feature requirements. Most businesses save 60-80% compared to traditional live answering services or hiring in-house staff. Book a free consultation to get a custom quote.
How is this different from a traditional call center?
