Every template opens with a live demo you can call right from the page.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from a traditional UK virtual receptionist?+

Traditional services staff humans during set hours and charge per call handled. The AI receptionist answers instantly at any hour, never queues callers, follows scripts exactly, and bills per minute spoken — with transcripts of every call.

Can it take messages and send them to my team?+

Yes — messages arrive as structured summaries (caller, reason, urgency, callback number) by email or WhatsApp, and can be written into your CRM automatically.

What if a caller insists on a human?+

Yes. You define transfer rules — urgent matters, specific request types, or a caller asking for a human — and the agent warm-transfers the call to your phone with context, or takes a message and notifies you instantly.

How long does setup take?+

Most teams launch from a ready-made template in under an hour: pick the template, connect your calendar or CRM, forward your number (or get a new one in-app), and test with a real call before going live.
