What does your AI receptionist do?
Your AI receptionist answers every call in your business's name and takes messages, books appointments into your own diary and puts urgent calls through to you. It is never sick, never on lunch and never lets a call ring out.
Does it replace my receptionist?
No. It catches the calls your team can't get to, so you spend your time on customers, not on the phone.
Does it quote prices?
No. It gives no prices and makes no promises. It passes those to a person.
How do I get the messages?
Your AI receptionist passes your messages on to you by WhatsApp and email.

Questions about AI receptionist
What is an AI receptionist?
An AI receptionist is a voice assistant that answers your calls in your business's name when you're busy or closed, takes a message and passes it on to you.
Does it sound like a real person?
The AI receptionist speaks naturally and clearly. Callers can always ask to leave a message for a person.
What can it answer?
The AI receptionist answers questions about your opening hours, address, services and other common questions you give it. It never makes up prices or promises.
Can it book appointments?
Yes. Your AI receptionist books appointments into your own diary, and syncs with Outlook, Apple and other calendars.
What happens with an urgent call?
Your AI receptionist puts urgent calls through to you, and takes a message if nobody answers.
How quickly can it start?
Your AI receptionist from Outsource Digital can start quickly: it is running within minutes of sign-up.
How much does an AI receptionist cost?
The cost of an AI receptionist depends on how many people and phone lines it answers for, and whether you take it on its own or in the Business Bundle, which is month to month on one monthly bill. Outsource Digital does not publish prices: WhatsApp us on 011 466 8510 for a quote.
Is AI replacing receptionists?
AI is not replacing receptionists. An AI receptionist catches the calls your team cannot get to: when everyone is busy, at lunch time and after hours. It answers in your business's name and takes a message. Your people keep handling the conversations that need a person, and you decide what happens next.
