Answer the calls that now go to voicemail.

Calls after hours, at lunch or while everyone is on site often go unanswered, and many callers do not leave a message. A voice agent answers on your number, handles routine questions and bookings, and passes anything urgent or unusual to a person with a summary.

For service businesses, clinics, trades and property teams whose phones ring when nobody is free to answer.

Before and after

What changes in a normal week.

Today

  • Calls after 6pm and at weekends go to voicemail, and few callers leave a message.
  • The person at the front desk answers the phone while serving someone in person.
  • Callbacks happen the next day, by which time the caller may have booked elsewhere.
  • You do not know how many calls were missed or what the callers wanted.

After the build

  • The agent answers out-of-hours calls on your number and books into your calendar.
  • Routine questions about opening hours, prices and availability are answered on the call.
  • Urgent calls are transferred, and the rest are logged with a summary for a callback.
  • Each call has a record and a transcript, so you can see volume and reasons by day.

Questions

What people ask first.

Will callers mind talking to an AI agent?

Some will, so the agent says it is an assistant and offers a person or a callback early in the call. You can listen to our live demos before deciding.

What if it gives a caller a wrong answer?

It answers only from the information you approve and says it will pass the question on when it does not know. We review transcripts during hypercare and tighten the script where needed.

What does each call cost to run?

Running costs depend on call minutes and the platform, and we estimate them from your call volume during the audit. The build is a fixed price agreed after the audit.

On a discovery call we look at how it runs today and tell you what it would take to change it, with a price. The call is free.
