What the receptionist handles on your phone line
Answers Every Call
The receptionist answers every inbound call immediately, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including nights and weekends. Callers never reach voicemail.
Transfers and Routes Calls
When a caller needs a person, the receptionist transfers the live call to the right rep, the owner, or an on-call number, based on rules you set.
Places Calls for You
The receptionist calls people on behalf of the owner or an executive: returning missed calls, confirming appointments, and following up on open requests.
Takes Notes and Messages
The receptionist writes a summary of every call: who called, what they need, and what was promised. That summary goes to your CRM and to whoever needs it.
Schedules Follow-Ups and Tasks
The receptionist books appointments on your calendar and creates follow-up tasks for your team, with the caller's details and a due date attached.
Replies to Text Messages
Callers can text the same number. The agent replies to text messages, answers questions, and books appointments by text.
The receptionist handles your business phone line. For outbound cold calling and appointment setting, see the AI cold calling agent.
