FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about how the AI receptionist works, what it costs and how your callers' information is handled.
The basics
What is an AI receptionist?
Software that answers your business phone in a natural voice, understands what the caller wants and handles it: answers questions, books appointments, takes messages, qualifies leads and transfers urgent calls. Full guide.
Does it sound like a robot?
No. It uses a natural, conversational voice and understands normal speech, including interruptions and changes of mind. The best way to judge is to try the live demo on our home page.
Should I tell callers it's AI?
We recommend it. A short line in the greeting is enough. Callers mostly care that they get an answer and a booking straight away. Being upfront also avoids awkward moments if someone asks.
What can't it do?
It won't give professional advice that needs a licensed person, such as medical, legal or financial advice. It can't physically do anything, like take a payment at the counter. And it only knows what you've told it, so questions outside that become messages for you.
Is it only for Canadian businesses?
We're a Canadian company and price in Canadian dollars, but the receptionist works for any business with a phone line that can forward calls. Contact us if you're outside Canada.
Setup and phones
Who sets it up?
We do. Setup is free on every plan. We write your greeting, FAQ answers and booking rules, connect your calendar and test with you. How it works.
Do I keep my phone number?
Yes. You forward your existing number to the receptionist. You can forward all calls, only after hours, or only calls you don't pick up.
Which carriers and phone systems work?
Any line that can forward calls, including Bell, Rogers, Telus and Videotron business lines, most cell phones, and VoIP systems. Forwarding guide.
Which calendars and tools does it connect to?
Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar, plus booking tools and CRMs such as Calendly, Cal.com, Acuity Scheduling, Wix Bookings, HubSpot, GoHighLevel, Jobber, ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro and Clio. All integrations.
How quickly can I go live?
Most businesses are live within a few days of their setup call.
Handling calls
How many calls can it take at once?
Up to 20 at the same time on every plan. No busy signals.
Can it transfer calls to me?
Yes. You choose which calls get transferred, to whom and when. If nobody picks up, it takes a message and alerts you. Call transfer.
Does it speak French?
Yes, on every plan. It answers in the caller's language. Growth and Pro add 30+ languages. Bilingual answering.
What about spam and robocalls?
Smart spam filtering screens out robocalls and sales pitches so your alerts are about real customers. Spam filtering.
How do I find out what happened on a call?
You get a text and email summary after every call, and your dashboard has the recording, transcript and summary.

Starter is $129 CAD a month for 300 minutes, Growth is $249 for 500 minutes, and Pro is $499 for 1,200 minutes. Pricing.

Privacy and data
Are calls recorded?
