Will the AI receptionist sound robotic?
No. Today's voice AI is natural and conversational, and it answers from your own information: services, service area, hours and pricing guidance. It never pretends to be a person if asked, and callers can reach a human whenever they want.
What happens when it can't answer a question?
It says so, takes a message with the caller's details, and alerts you by text and email with the transcript. If you've set up a transfer, it can hand the call to you or a team member live.
Do I keep my phone number?
Yes. Your existing number stays yours. Calls are forwarded to the AI receptionist on the rules you choose: always, only when you don't pick up, or only after hours. If you ever leave, your number, contacts and call history go with you.
How fast can it go live?
Autopilot can be answering your calls in as little as 48 hours after onboarding. Text messaging goes live once carrier registration clears, usually within a couple of weeks.
How much does an AI receptionist cost?
Autopilot Answer is $199 a month. Grow, which adds web-lead replies, follow-up and reviews, is $497 a month. Pro, the whole front office, is $1,297 a month. Setup starts at $499 and plans are month to month.
Can I try it first?
Yes. After a quick call we can set up a 7-day test line so you can watch missed calls turn into real conversations before you pay a setup fee.
