Overview
What an AI receptionist does
Think of it as a virtual front desk that never takes lunch — trained on your hours, services, and booking rules.
Understands caller intent
Booking, billing, emergencies, sales — route the conversation to the right workflow.
Takes structured messages
When a person is unavailable, capture useful details instead of a vague callback note.
Works after hours
Nights, weekends, and holidays still get a helpful answer and a clear next step.
Capabilities
Built for the calls your front desk already takes
Each workflow is available inside one AI receptionist agent — configure the ones your business needs.
Answer every call
Missed rings are missed jobs. An AI phone receptionist picks up when your team is with customers, on the road, or already on another line — so callers do not bounce to a competitor.
Book appointments
Offer real availability, confirm the details that matter, and write appointments your ops team can trust. No invented times, no sticky-note scheduling.
Qualify leads
Ask the discovery questions your sales process needs — service area, timeline, job type — and hand sales-ready callers to your team with notes attached.
Answer FAQs
Hours, directions, service lists, and preparation instructions come from your knowledge base so answers stay accurate and on-brand.
Transfer calls to humans
When a caller needs a person, Call & Flow supports human handoff. If a live transfer is not available, take a callback request and queue follow-up with context.
After-hours call handling
Keep an AI answering service on the line overnight. Capture emergencies, book next-day appointments, and make sure ad-driven calls after 5pm still convert.

AI receptionist FAQ
Common questions from US businesses evaluating an AI receptionist service.
What is an AI receptionist?
An AI receptionist is a voice agent that answers your business phone, handles common requests, books appointments, and can transfer urgent calls to a human.
Is an AI receptionist good for small business?
Yes. Small teams often miss calls while serving customers. An AI receptionist covers the phones without hiring a full-time front desk for every hour you are open — or closed.
How is this different from a traditional answering service?
Traditional services often take messages. Call & Flow can also book appointments, answer from your knowledge base, qualify leads, and hand off with context.
Can it transfer to my cell phone?
When transfer is configured and available, calls can move to your team. Otherwise the agent can capture a callback with full notes.
How much does an AI receptionist cost?
Plans are based on included voice minutes, concurrency, numbers, users, and knowledge limits. See the pricing page for current Starter, Growth, Pro, and Enterprise options.
