What an AI receptionist does for a one- or two-person business, what it costs on the smallest plan, when it is not worth it, and how it fits a day where you answer most calls yourself.
A two-person business answers most of its own calls, which is exactly why the missed ones hurt: each one is a job or a booking you would have taken yourself. The question is not whether to replace the phone, but what should happen in the minutes you cannot pick up.
The Starter plan is CAD 69 a month ($49 outside Canada) with 100 AI minutes, which is a month of answering the calls a small business misses rather than every call it gets. Transferred calls and spam hang-ups do not count. The trial is 14 days with 40 minutes, so you can read a fortnight of real transcripts before you pay anything.
It is not a full-time receptionist and does not claim to be. It does not make judgment calls, chase quotes or run your diary; it answers, books, takes messages and tells you what happened. The two of you still run the business.
No. One code dialled on your mobile forwards the calls you miss to the AI; another code turns it off. Your number, carrier and bill stay as they are.
The setup is five screens: your business and its kind, your website (it reads it for your services and hours), your hours, your phone, and go live. Most of the time goes on checking what it read.
There is one login per account today, which you can both use on the website and in the app. Separate logins for a team are not yet available.
Fourteen days free. Keep your number, forward the calls nobody answers, and read the transcripts.
