    Services / AI Receptionists

    Turn calls and web enquiries into a clear next step.

    An AI receptionist for agreed business questions, enquiry capture, meeting booking and human handoff. Define the information it may use, the diary it may book and who takes over when a person is needed.

    A helpful first conversation should leave your team with useful context and the caller with an accurate next step. We scope phone and website journeys around approved information, contact details, calendar availability and a named human owner.

    If this sounds like you

    Who is this for?

    A business owner or sales lead who wants incoming phone and website enquiries routed to a useful human conversation or confirmed meeting.

    How fast?

    Start with one enquiry journey. A delivery window follows checks on the number, website, calendar, business information and human handoff arrangements.

    What will it cost?

    A written setup or pilot quote, with phone and model usage, other supplier charges and support identified separately.

    What result should I expect?

    A tested receptionist journey with concise questions, truthful booking confirmation and an accountable human next step.

    A promise of continuous availability, invented answers, unverified bookings or a replacement for responsible human sales and support cover.

    The problem we hear

    What should happen when a prospective customer calls or asks a question on your website?

    Enquiries arrive in several places

    Calls and web questions need a shared view of the customer request, contact details and the person responsible for follow-up.

    The conversation drifts

    Long answers and repeated questions make it harder to reach a useful next step. Agree the questions, approved answers and handover information for one enquiry journey.

    A booking is promised too soon

    Offering a time is different from creating a meeting. Availability, event creation and invitation status need separate checks before the receptionist confirms a booking.

    Human cover is unclear

    Some questions need a salesperson or support colleague. Define staffed handoff hours, callback handling and the owner of an unresolved enquiry.

    How we approach it

    01

    Choose one reception journey

    Map the audience, common questions and useful outcome. Agree how the assistant introduces itself and which enquiries should reach a person immediately.

    02

    Connect approved information

    Use an agreed source set and supported phone, website, CRM and calendar access. Ask only for the details needed for the next step and make uncertainty clear.

    03

    Check bookings and handoff

    Offer real diary availability, create the calendar event and confirm only when it exists. Route the enquiry and context to the agreed human owner; report invitation failures separately.

    04

    Test and agree support

    Review real conversation behaviour, interruptions, repeated questions, unavailable slots and failed connections. Agree monitoring, staffed handoff coverage and recovery before launch.

    What good looks like

    A defined call and web enquiry journey using approved business information.

    Useful contact and enquiry context captured for the responsible person.

    A calendar booking flow that confirms only after an event has been created.

    A clear human handoff or callback route with support ownership.

    Conversation and failure checks that support a decision on wider rollout.

    What your AI receptionist can be scoped to handle

    Phone and website enquiries

    A bounded conversation across the agreed incoming phone and website channels, with a clear introduction and concise questions.

    Approved business answers

    Responses based on your current service information, with a human route for unsupported, sensitive or uncertain questions.

    Meeting availability and booking

    Calendar rules, live slot checks and genuine event creation before confirmation. Event creation and invitation delivery are tracked separately.

    Human handoff

    Transfer or follow-up arrangements based on the channel, staffed hours and supplier capabilities. Callback tasks provide a route when live transfer is unavailable.

    CRM context

    Supported recording of the enquiry, conversation outcome and agreed next action for the responsible person.

    Operating support

    Monitoring, source updates, escalation ownership and agreed handling when a provider, diary or connection is unavailable.

    Illustrative workflow scopes

    Illustrative scope: an incoming demo enquiry

    Illustrative scope, not a completed client case study.

    A receptionist could answer approved service questions, collect the prospect’s name and contact details, and offer available times for a human conversation. It would confirm the appointment only after the calendar event exists and pass the enquiry context to the host.

    Illustrative scope: a web question needing a person

    Illustrative scope, not a completed client case study.

    For a question outside the approved information, the receptionist could explain the limit, record the relevant details and route a follow-up to the agreed owner. A live transfer would depend on the channel, staffed coverage and supported integration.

    These examples explain possible scopes. Suitability and results would be established through assessment and testing.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can it answer calls and website enquiries?

    Phone and website reception can be included in the scope. We check your existing number, website, providers and supported integrations, then define the channels and enquiry journey to test.

    When is a meeting confirmed?

    A meeting is confirmed only after a genuine calendar event has been created. An offered slot or collected email address is not a booking. Invitation delivery status is checked separately, and a failure is shown for follow-up.

    Will it hand the conversation to a human?

    The design includes a named human owner and handoff or callback route. Live transfer depends on the channel, provider support and staffed hours. Where a transfer cannot happen, the next action and responsibility must remain clear.

    Is this a guaranteed 24-hour reception service?

    Availability and support cover are agreed for the deployment. Provider outages, network connections, diary access and human staffing affect the service. We do not promise continuous coverage before those requirements and dependencies are assessed.

    Can we choose how it sounds?

    We can review the tone, pacing, greeting and supported voice options for the selected provider. An attended conversation test checks the actual experience before approval; a particular accent or human-like result is not guaranteed.

    How are contact details and conversations handled?

    We agree the information needed, approved sources, retention, access and any recording or transcript arrangements before launch. The receptionist should identify itself as an AI assistant and explain relevant collection choices in the agreed journey.

    How much does setup and operation cost?

    After a free discovery call, we provide a written scope and price for one journey. Phone, model, messaging and other provider usage, calendar access and support are identified separately. No new subscription or usage volume is assumed.

    What should happen when your next enquiry arrives?
