1Digital® Add-on · AI Receptionist

Every call answered, even when you can't

When you are on a job, with a customer or closed for the night, the AI Receptionist picks up. It answers from what you tell it, takes a message or books a time, and emails you a summary.

Illustration with example data
The short version: the AI Receptionist answers your business calls when you cannot. It always tells callers it is a virtual assistant, answers only from the information you give it, and never invents prices or promises. It can take a message, book an appointment on your calendar, or transfer the caller to a person during business hours. After each call you get an email with a summary and the full transcript.

What it does

A front desk that never misses a call

Answers from your information

It uses your knowledge base and your own notes. When it does not know something, it offers to take a message instead of guessing.

Books appointments

It finds open times and books them on your calendar, and only confirms a booking once the calendar says it is booked.

Takes messages properly

It writes down what the caller needs and reads their callback number back to them, so the number you get is the right one.

Transfers to a person

During business hours it can hand the call to your team. After hours it offers to book a time instead of sending callers to voicemail.

Honest with callers

Every call starts with a notice that the caller is speaking to a virtual assistant and that the call may be recorded. Emergencies are told to call 911.

A summary of every call

Each call is transcribed, summarised and emailed to you, and it shows up with your other leads.

How it works

Ready after one test call

  1. 1

    Tell it about you

    Write your greeting and the notes it should answer from.

  2. 2

    Choose when it answers

    Missed calls and after hours, after hours only, missed calls only, or every call, with your own hours and ring time.

  3. 3

    Test, then switch on

    Make a free test call to hear it, then turn on answering.

Why it matters

A missed call is often a lost job

A caller who reaches voicemail can simply dial the next business on the list. The AI Receptionist makes sure every caller gets an answer, a booking or a promise of a callback.

AI Receptionist - FAQ

Do callers know they are talking to AI?
Yes, always. Every call starts with a notice that the caller is speaking to a virtual assistant. If your greeting leaves it out, it is added.
Can I keep my business number?
Yes. You forward unanswered calls from your existing number to the receptionist's number, so callers keep dialling the number they know.
Will it make things up?
No. It answers only from your knowledge base and notes, never invents prices, availability or promises, and offers to take a message when it does not know.
Can spam calls run up my bill?
No. Calls are capped per day and per caller, and past those limits calls simply ring through as normal.
Do I need Call Tracking too?
No. The two work on their own, and they work well together.
How do I cancel?
From your account. The receptionist keeps answering until the end of the period you have already paid for.
