What it does
A front desk that never misses a call
Turn it on for your business line and decide when it picks up. Everything it hears is saved for your team, translated.
You choose when it answers
Every call, only after hours, when no agent is online, or when callers have waited too long in the queue.
Answers from your own information
Your company details, opening hours and the documents you upload to the Knowledge Center. It doesn’t make up prices or promises.
Takes complete messages
Name, callback number and reason for the call, translated and saved for your team.
Hands over to a person
If you allow transfers, it connects the caller to an available agent when they ask for one.
Speaks your customer’s language
Callers talk to it in their own language. Your team reads the conversation in theirs.
Tells callers it is an AI
It says so up front, and callers hear a short notice that the call is translated and may be recorded.
The AI receptionist handles incoming calls. It doesn’t place outbound calls, book appointments or update other systems; your team does that from the message it leaves.
