Call flow

What happens when a call comes in

Your receptionist follows the instructions you give it, and can hand over to a person if you set a transfer number.

1

Answer instantly

Your AI receptionist picks up incoming calls, including when your staff are busy or unavailable.

2

Understand intent

It listens, asks follow-up questions and works out what the caller needs.

3

Answer or escalate

It answers the questions you have set it up to handle and collects the details you ask for. If a transfer number is set, it can pass the call to your team.

4

Keep a record

Each call is recorded, and an AI-generated summary and status are added after the call so your team can review it.

Setup

Set up around your business

Tell your receptionist about your business and what it should do, then try it before you rely on it.

1

Create your agent

Choose a voice and tell it about your business, services and common questions.

2

Test it yourself

Call your agent, hear how it responds and adjust the instructions until it sounds right.

3

Go live

Once you are happy with it, let it answer your incoming calls. Add a transfer number if you want it to be able to pass calls to a person.
