Never miss a lead with intelligent call handling
You can't depend on leads to leave a message or pick up when you call back. Our AI Receptionist with optional human assistance covers your after-hours business phone calls with smart lead screening and professional follow-up, ensuring none of your leads move on to your competitors.
Appointment scheduling with human oversight
We are more than just a telephone answering service. Our AI-powered system doesn't simply take a message and let your leads wait — it actively schedules appointments on your behalf. When complex scheduling situations arise after hours, human agents seamlessly step in to ensure qualified leads know exactly when you'll get back to them.
Complete Human Coverage When You Need It

Smith.ai is trusted by 5,000+ businesses
“One of the big reasons we chose a virtual receptionist is after looking at the statistics of the number of phone calls that go unanswered, [...] we wanted to be proactive in making sure we aren’t responding in the way that the industry standards appeared to be. We want to be on the front of that wave to increase the accessibility of our services.”
