NEVER MISS A CALL

24/7 AI Receptionist with human backup

Our intelligent AI Receptionist with seamless human assistance answers calls around the clock so you never miss a call and can capture every opportunity to grow your business.

AI-first technology with human support

Not all phone answering services are the same. Our advanced AI Receptionist uses custom prompts engineered specifically for your business terminology, workflows, and goals — handling routine inquiries with remarkable speed and accuracy. Our system adapts to your unique processes while seamlessly connecting complex callers to our professional, virtual, North America-based agents when needed. You get the best of both worlds: lightning-fast AI responses for common questions and human intelligence for nuanced conversations that require a personal touch.

Better than a call center service, sounds in-house

We maintain the highest standards for call quality with crystal-clear connections and quiet backgrounds. Our AI-first system with human oversight ensures every caller receives consistent, knowledgeable service that sounds like it's coming directly from your office — without the variability of human-only solutions or the limitations of traditional call centers.

Traditional call centers average 5–15 minutes per call, while our AI Receptionist with human backup completes most calls in 2–4 minutes.

Much more than call answering

We are not your average telephone answering service. We provide much more value through infinitely customizable AI technology. Our AI Receptionist with human backup uses flexible call instructions tailored to your specific business needs — qualifying new leads, appointment scheduling, accepting payments, logging notes in your CRM, sending follow-up messages, and much more. Instead of having your important calls reach an answering machine or go straight to voicemail, you can have the peace of mind knowing that an intelligent AI system with professional human assistance is nurturing every potential client with consistent, knowledgeable service that scales with your business needs.

For every business size, from small to enterprise

As a business owner, every call represents a potential opportunity. Solo and small businesses especially need every call answered, as every missed call is a missed opportunity for growth. Our AI Receptionist with human backup can provide overflow coverage for sales development teams after-hours, on weekends, or during high call volume periods when all sales reps are already engaged with other clients. Our system instantly qualifies leads and our team schedules callbacks, ensuring your sales team receives pre-screened opportunities with detailed context — maximizing their time and conversion rates.

Our virtual receptionist plans provide:

  • Dedicated human agents trained specifically on your business and industry.

Real-time insights that drive better decisions

Make smarter business decisions with AI-powered call analytics customized for your business needs. Our intelligent system automatically enriches every call summary with detailed metadata — actions completed, caller disposition, priority levels, and lead quality assessments that would take human agents significantly longer to capture and analyze.

Every insight is visualized in your personalized Smith.ai dashboard, giving you immediate visibility into call performance and lead quality trends.

Your AI gets smarter with every call

Our intelligent call recording, transcription, and AI-driven analytics learn from every interaction to enhance future call handling and lead qualification. The system continuously improves its understanding of your business needs, adapting call flows and responses based on real caller interactions and outcomes.

This means better lead qualification, more accurate call routing, and increasingly personalized caller experiences that drive higher conversion rates over time.
