Can you build an AI receptionist for calls as well as website chat?
Both can be considered, but each channel has its own provider, account and testing requirements. We confirm telephony availability, transfer behaviour and the necessary permissions before including voice in the agreed scope.
Can the receptionist book appointments in our calendar?
It can be scoped when the calendar exposes suitable access. The application should check the available slot, collect the required details and verify the saved booking before presenting it as confirmed. Conflicts and provider failures need explicit fallback behaviour.
Will the AI receptionist replace our staff?
The workflow is designed around repetitive first-contact tasks and a defined handoff. Your team remains responsible for exceptions, sensitive decisions and requests outside the approved information. The appropriate balance depends on your business process.
Can we review the conversations and customer records?
Conversation history, enquiry summaries and role-based team access can be included. The retention period, staff permissions and any recording or customer-notice requirements are agreed for the selected channels before launch.
