How Can AI Answer My Phones?
AI voice quality crossed the line in 2024. Here's how it works and what to expect.
How AI voice reception works
An AI voice receptionist answers your business number. It greets the caller, holds a natural conversation, checks live availability, books into your calendar, and pages the right person if it can't handle the request.
Audio quality is indistinguishable from a human receptionist in short calls. Most callers assume they're speaking to your team.
What it costs vs a human
A full-time receptionist in Australia is $55K–$75K per year fully-loaded. An AI receptionist is a fraction of that, never misses a shift, and handles unlimited concurrent calls.
