At onboarding, we look at your call mix and set a recipe, a defined split between AI and live agents based on the types of calls you actually receive.
AI picks up, every time.
Your AI receptionist answers on the first ring, 24/7. It greets the caller using your business name, understands their intent, and begins handling the call according to your exact playbook.
No missed calls. No hold music. No voicemail.
AI qualifies, transfers, or resolves.
AI either handles the full interaction — qualifying leads, booking appointments, capturing intake, and answering questions— or transfers the call seamlessly to a live agent, depending on your configuration.
Your calls. Your mix.
A live agent steps in when it matters.
Complex situations, high-value prospects, or whatever you deem worthy, our North American live agents step in. Callers never feel the seam.
Warm, professional, trained on your business.
