24/7 AI Receptionist for San Francisco Businesses

San Francisco office space runs about $66 per square foot — that's roughly $10,000 monthly for a modest 150-square-foot office. Adding a receptionist station (typically 40 square feet) pushes your rent even higher while limiting your ability to invest in growth.

The AI Receptionist, with optional human support from our North America-based virtual receptionists, eliminates that overhead entirely through intelligent call handling. The AI Receptionist screens callers, captures and qualifies leads, schedules appointments, and much more so that no matter how busy your team may get, you can rest easy knowing your customer support demands are being met and your callers are receiving quality service.. No desk space required. No added rent.

Traditional in-house receptionists in San Francisco cost $40,000+ annually before benefits. Factor in healthcare, 401(k) contributions, commuter reimbursements, and paid time off, and you're looking at significantly more.

The AI Receptionist from Smith.ai starts at just $97.50 monthly for 30 calls — saving you tens of thousands annually. The system adjusts to fit your business operations, not the other way around. Exceed your monthly call volume? You simply pay for additional calls without plan upgrades. No setup fees. No cancellation fees. Review Smith.ai's flexible monthly plans and pricing.
