Custom builds / AI receptionist

A receptionist that
fits your workflow.

An AI receptionist configured around how your business handles enquiries, appointments, quotes, and staff handoffs.

A standalone system or part of a larger application. Channels and integrations are selected for your business.

More than taking a message

Appointments & bookings
Gather the required details, check connected availability, and create or change bookings within your rules.
Quotes & estimates
Collect the scope of a request and prepare a quote using approved prices and conditions. Route exceptions to a person.
Database & CRM updates
Create or update authorised records directly, such as a customer enquiry, appointment, or follow-up task.
Messages & PDF handoffs
Leave a structured message or prepare a PDF brief for the next shift, including the request, collected details, and what still needs attention.

Different levels of control

01

Take & hand off

Answer approved questions and collect information. Leave messages or PDF summaries for staff to review when they come in.

02

Prepare for approval

Draft a booking, quote, or record update. A staff member reviews it before the action is completed.

03

Act within limits

Write to authorised database fields, book available slots, or issue quotes under defined rules. Refer exceptions to your team.

Permissions can differ by action. For example, allow appointment bookings while keeping quotes subject to approval.

Ready for the next shift

For an enquiry that arrives while staff are away, the receptionist can gather the details and either update the connected CRM or create a message or PDF brief. When staff return, they can see the request and the next step.

Each handoff can include the customer’s request, relevant details, actions already taken, and anything requiring a decision.

Connecting it to your systems

The build can include a staff dashboard, CRM or database integrations, appointment scheduling, quote templates, and message or PDF delivery. Access is scoped to the actions you approve, with validation, an activity history, and a route to human review.

A custom service offering. Available actions depend on the systems connected and the permissions configured for your business.
