AI receptionist • Website chat and phone

An AI receptionist for enquiries, appointment requests and messages

An AI receptionist works like a front desk that never closes: it greets customers, answers common questions, collects their details, takes appointment requests and passes anything important to a person.

We set this up for small businesses in Coventry, the West Midlands and across the UK. Website chat is our standard option; phone and voice answering is available on request and quoted case by case.

Request a quote and we'll recommend the right option and price for your business.

The problem

When the front desk can't keep up

Calls and messages go unanswered

You're with a customer or on a job, and enquiries land in voicemail or an unread inbox.

Out-of-hours enquiries are lost

Customers contact you in the evening or at weekends and go elsewhere when nobody replies.

Booking requests lack detail

You chase customers for the basics before you can confirm anything.

Urgent issues get buried

An urgent request sits among routine messages until someone spots it.

Know the difference

Website chat or phone: what's the difference?

Both options greet customers, answer questions and collect details. The difference is where the conversation happens and what's needed to set it up.

Practical examples

How an AI receptionist could help

These are illustrations of how the service can be set up — not client results.

Example

A garage

Takes MOT and service requests overnight, collecting the vehicle registration and preferred day for the team to confirm in the morning.

Example

An electrician

Separates emergencies from routine jobs: emergencies are pointed straight to the phone number and the electrician is alerted, while routine requests are logged with full details.

Example

A cleaning company

Collects property size, location and preferred cleaning frequency so the owner can send an accurate quote.

Example

A short-let host

Answers guest questions about check-in, parking and Wi-Fi, and alerts the host immediately about anything urgent.

Good to know

  • Website chat is our standard AI receptionist. Phone and voice answering is available on request and is quoted case by case after we assess your calls and phone setup.
  • Customers should always know they're speaking with an AI assistant, and can ask for a person at any time.
  • An AI receptionist isn't suitable for giving emergency, medical, legal or financial advice. It directs those situations to the right person or service.

  1. Visitor

    Hi, can I get an MOT this Saturday?

  2. Assistant

    Yes — we test on Saturdays from 9am to 1pm. An MOT is £54.85. Would you like to request a slot?

    ↳ Answers from the business’s approved hours and prices
  3. Visitor

    Yes please. It’s a 2015 Ford Focus.

  4. Assistant

    Thanks. What name and mobile number should the team use to confirm your slot?

    ↳ Asks only the questions the owner agreed
  5. Visitor

    Sam, 07700 900123. Could you also look at a warning light?

  6. Assistant

    I’ve passed your MOT request to the team, with a note about the warning light — they’ll confirm a time and whether they can check it. You’ll get a text shortly.

    ↳ Records the enquiry, alerts the owner and hands over anything it shouldn’t decide

These are website projects. We'll share relevant examples for ai receptionist when we discuss your quote.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Can the AI receptionist answer my phone?

Phone and voice answering is available on request. We assess your call volumes, the type of calls and your phone setup, then quote case by case. Website chat is our standard option.

What's the difference between an AI receptionist and a chatbot?

A chatbot mainly answers questions. An AI receptionist is set up around front-desk tasks: collecting details, handling appointment requests, summarising messages and escalating urgent issues to you.

Will customers know they're talking to AI?

Yes. We recommend being clear about it from the first message, and customers can always ask to speak to a person.

Can it book appointments into my calendar?

It collects appointment requests as standard. Confirming bookings directly in your calendar depends on your booking system and is scoped in your quote.

What happens with urgent requests?

You decide what counts as urgent. Those conversations trigger an immediate alert, and customers are pointed to the quickest way to reach you.

How much does an AI receptionist cost?

It depends on the channel, your enquiry volumes and any integrations. Request a quote for a tailored price, or see the Always-Open Business System for a bundled website chat option.
