AI voice receptionist for small business

Your AI receptionist, live in 5 minutes.

Q: How is this really set up in 5 minutes?

You paste your website URL. We scrape it (services, hours, FAQs). You pick a vertical template and a voice. You claim a phone number. We provision the AI assistant and link it to the number. End-to-end: ~5 minutes from signup to a number that rings to your AI. Nobody else in this price range does this.

Q: What does it cost per call?

Your plan includes a minute bucket (Starter $49 = 250 min/mo, Growth $179 = 1000 min, Scale $399 = 3000 min). Most service-business calls run 1–3 minutes. If you go over, we charge a clear per-minute overage — no surprise bills.

Q: Will it sound robotic?

Try the live demo right now from your laptop and decide. We use Deepgram Nova-3 for understanding, Claude for thinking on paid plans (Groq on the free trial), and Azure Neural voices for speaking — the same stack you'd hire an agency to build for you, with sub-500ms latency.

Q: What if it fumbles a call?

Every call is fully transcribed and recorded — you see exactly what happened. You can transfer specific intents to a human (yourself, an on-call number) automatically. And you can refine the system prompt in our dashboard without re-onboarding.

Q: Do I need to port my number, or change carriers?

Neither. Forward your existing line to your new AI number in minutes — no porting, no downtime, keep your current carrier. Calls keep working the whole time, and you can fully port the number over later if you ever want to. No rip-and-replace.

Q: What about HIPAA / consent recording laws?

We default to playing a consent disclosure at call start for two-party-consent states. We don't sign HIPAA BAAs in v1, so we don't recommend the product for clinical medical use yet. Dental, optometry, vet — generally fine. Hospitals — not yet.

Paste your website. Pick a voice. Get a phone number. Done. We answer every call, book appointments, log requests, and text your team — 24/7, with no setup calls.

Questions

The honest answers

What people ask before they sign up.

Where it draws the line — on purpose

Won't give medical or legal advice

It books and answers logistics, and hands off anything clinical. Not for HIPAA-clinical use yet.

Won't take payments

It captures the booking and texts your team — money still runs through the system you already use.
