AI Receptionist

Like having a front desk that never sleeps. Answers calls, books appointments.

An AI voice that picks up every call — at 9pm, on Sunday, when you're with a customer. It sounds warm, talks like a real Cincinnati person, books appointments into your calendar, and texts you the highlights so you never have to listen to a voicemail again.

The problem

You can't justify a $40K/year receptionist. But every missed call costs you a customer.

How it works

Three steps. No magic.

01Step 1 / 3

We provision a phone number

New number or port your existing one. Calls hit the AI receptionist before they hit your team.

02Step 2 / 3

Claude answers in a warm voice

Qualifies the caller, books appointments, transfers complex calls. Cincinnati-friendly tone — your customers don't realize.

03Step 3 / 3

You get the summary by text

Lead name, contact info, what they wanted, what got booked — by SMS within seconds of the call ending.

Watch it work

Questions

The honest FAQ for AI Receptionist.

No — most callers don't realize they're talking to AI. We use Cartesia Sonic-2 voice models (among the lowest-latency premium voice models available, ~90ms first-byte) tuned to a warm, Cincinnati-friendly tone. You hear a 60-second sample of your specific voice persona on the first call, before launch. We refine it monthly based on actual call recordings.

Yes — flat $497/mo regardless of call volume. We don't meter you, we don't charge per minute, and we don't surge-price you during busy seasons. Compare that to Smith.ai at $292/mo for 30 calls (about $10/call after the cap), or Aira at $99/mo for 100 total minutes.

One-tap transfer from the AI to your cell, any time during the call. The AI bridges the call cleanly so the customer doesn't drop or have to re-explain. You can also pre-set rules ('always transfer dental emergencies', 'always transfer quotes over $5K') and the AI follows them.

After-hours and overflow voicemails get transcribed by the AI and arrive as SMS + email within 30 seconds of the call ending. Full transcript plus a one-line summary you can scan in two seconds. The audio recording is attached if you want to hear the caller directly.

Yes — HIPAA-aware. PHI is encrypted in transit and at rest. The AI is trained to hand off to a human before collecting sensitive details (insurance, prescriptions, medical history). For dental and med-spa businesses that need a signed BAA, ask on the first call.
