ENGLISH AND SPANISH

Bilingual answering service 24/7

We have English- and Spanish-bilingual options for your calls with our AI receptionist featuring human support when needed.

How AI Receptionist handles calls in either Spanish or English

When Spanish language support is enabled, the AI Receptionist from Smith.ai automatically detects whether the caller is speaking English or Spanish, then continues the conversation fluently in that language with swift efficiency. There's no need for manual input: our AI identifies the language in real time and adapts instantly. Once in Spanish mode, your AI receptionist will follow the custom AI prompts and flexible instructions tailored to your business needs and goals — effortlessly translated for Spanish-speaking callers with minimal friction.

Over 13% of the U.S. population are native Spanish speakers.

What happens during a bilingual call

  • Intelligent task completion – AI handles lead qualification, appointment coordination, and information gathering entirely in the caller's preferred language.
  • Smooth escalation – when situations require human judgment, the transition to bilingual agents happens seamlessly with full context preserved.
  • Dynamic conversation – your business scripts, FAQs, and qualification questions are translated in real-time, maintaining your exact messaging and brand voice in Spanish.

Complete Human Coverage When You Need It

Prefer 100% live agents? We've got you covered.

While our AI Receptionist with human support delivers exceptional results for most businesses, we understand that some situations require dedicated human coverage. That's why Smith.ai also offers comprehensive virtual receptionist plans with 100% live, North America-based agents answering your calls 24/7 — whether in English or Spanish.

Our virtual receptionist plans provide:

  • Dedicated human agents trained specifically on your business and industry.
  • True 24/7 coverage with live professionals, never voicemail or automated systems.
  • Complete call handling including complex scheduling, detailed note-taking, and sensitive conversations.
  • Seamless CRM integration with the same advanced features as our AI plans.
  • Custom call instructions tailored to your exact preferences and procedures.
  • Professional representation that sounds like an extension of your in-house team.

Full transparency into all your Spanish calls

Language barriers become non-existent with our comprehensive approach. Our call recording & transcription feature supports both English and Spanish, so your calls are transcribed no matter the language. The system completes each call efficiently, typically in two to three minutes, while providing detailed analytics through our dashboard that gives you full reports on all your calls, equipping you with the information you need to understand how your communication efforts are performing with Spanish-speaking customers.

"The month after hiring Smith.ai, our revenue increased by 25%! Comparing last January [before Smith.ai] to this January [after hiring Smith.ai], revenue increased by 40%. Their outbound calling works so well. We close 80% of the viable DUI cases we get. Before Smith.ai, I’d have to monitor the lead inbox. Now, Smith.ai is making the outbound call as soon as the lead comes in. They vet it for me, and I get to talk to only qualified leads. We essentially have a team of intake people [who] know our product and work directly for us."
