05 / Questions
The questions owners ask.
The short version of every answer: call one of the two demo lines above and let the receptionist show you itself.
How much does the AI receptionist cost?
It is $500 to get started, which covers the full setup on your real calendar, a staff walkthrough, and your first month. After that it is $249 a month, everything included. Past the 300 call minutes included each month, calls bill at 35 cents a minute.
What does the receptionist do?
It answers every call, books straight into the calendar you already use, and runs your confirmation follow ups. Customers who would rather not call can text the same number and book by message. It answers the 9 PM emergency and the lunch rush you cannot get to, with no voicemail box.
Can I try it before I sign up?
Yes, on two lines. Call (919) 823-2943 and Riley answers as a demo salon: it checks a real calendar, books you an appointment on the line, and texts the confirmation. Call (984) 351-9886 and Avery answers as a demo law office and books a screening call under much stricter rules. Both take about two minutes, and you can text either number instead of calling and book the same way. Both are demonstration personas rather than real businesses, so nobody is expecting you.
What happens to my phone number if I ever leave?
Your number ports out with you. There is no lock in: your calendar stays yours, and your greeting and booking rules are written in plain English where you can read and change them.
Which booking calendars does it work with?
It books in real time against your calendar, checking real availability before every booking. Google Calendar today, and if your business runs on a scheduling platform, we build that integration as part of your setup.
How is this different from the cheap AI receptionists the big hosting brands sell?
Three ways. Those are self serve: you configure the bot, connect the calendar, and write the scripts yourself. Here I build the whole thing with you on your real calendar and hand you a plain English runbook. Confirmations text the caller from the same number they dialed, so it reads like your business rather than a bot platform. And every booking is checked against your real calendar before it is made. You can judge the difference yourself: our demo lines are the product actually answering, not a path to a sales callback.
