What about an angry caller?: Your AI receptionist stays calm, listens, takes the details and tells the caller exactly what happens next. Anything that needs a person goes to the person you choose, with the whole story written down.
How do calls get handed to a human?: You decide which calls come to you: a named client, an urgent job, anyone who asks for a person. Your AI receptionist passes those on with a message that says who called and why.
What does cancelling cost?: Nothing. There's no lock-in contract. You can fire your AI receptionist any time and billing stops at the end of that month.
What about data and privacy?: Your AI receptionist works only in the accounts you give access to, and every email, call and booking is in a contact log you can read.
