What Is an AI Receptionist? How It Works and What It Costs

An AI receptionist answers every call, books appointments and takes orders. See how it works, where it falls short and how the pricing models compare.

Read the guide

Key points

  • An AI receptionist answers your business line with a voice agent that can book, reschedule, take orders and hand calls to staff.
  • It works best on repeatable calls tied to a live calendar or menu, and it needs clear rules for anything it should not decide.
  • Compare vendors on the full monthly cost of your call volume, how deeply the agent connects to your systems and how it hands calls to people.
