Support and sales calls arrive around the clock

Calls come in when you're coding features, fixing bugs, or running product demos. Smith.ai receptionists capture leads, schedule demos, handle support requests, and log details instantly in your CRM systems.

AI receptionists handle routine inquiries and appointment scheduling, operating 24/7 to serve customers across time zones. Virtual receptionists manage situations that require a personal touch — complex technical discussions, enterprise sales conversations, and escalated support cases that demand judgment and relationship management.

Focus on product development while your receptionists handle the calls

Smith.ai virtual receptionists greet every caller professionally and capture essential information through structured intake questions. By collecting company size, current software stack and integration requirements, use case details, budget range, and deployment timeline and onboarding needs upfront, the system helps identify and prioritize qualified leads based on your product offerings and ideal customer profile.

AI receptionists excel at high-volume lead screening with consistent questioning about basic requirements, while live virtual receptionists handle complex qualifications that require detailed discussion—exploring technical requirements, understanding integration needs, or navigating enterprise procurement processes.

The most advanced and customizable call handling solution available

The AI Receptionist from Smith.ai combines cutting-edge AI technology with optional human support to deliver unmatched call handling capabilities. Unlike competitors who offer basic subscription services, we provide white-glove implementation and ongoing support to ensure your success.

What sets Smith.ai apart:

  • Custom AI configuration with prompts and instructions tailored specifically to your business needs and goals
  • True 24/7 coverage with intelligent call routing and seamless human escalation when needed
  • Complete call handling including complex scheduling, payment processing, and sensitive conversations
  • Advanced CRM integration with 7,000+ business tools and custom workflow automation
  • Dedicated onboarding support with sales engineers and account managers ensuring optimal setup
  • North America-based receptionists to support callers when needed
  • Professional representation that adapts to your brand voice and industry requirements

Custom call flows built for your software business

Customizable call flows from Smith.ai serve as the technical framework that consistently executes your company's lead qualification and support triage protocols. The system routes calls based on inquiry type, applies your qualification criteria for company size and use case fit, and escalates matters based on complexity or urgency thresholds you define.

The routing logic determines which calls AI Receptionists handle autonomously through structured screening versus which situations require Virtual Receptionists for nuanced judgment — enterprise opportunities involving relationship-building, technical discussions on integration capabilities, or critical support escalations demanding immediate attention.

Every interaction generates detailed call summaries with notifications delivered through your preferred channels — email, Slack, text. The system integrates directly with your CRM platforms, support ticketing systems, and calendaring tools.

For existing customers, new conversations are automatically logged and added to their account record. For new leads, the system creates a prospect record and logs complete conversation details without manual data entry.

Intelligent call analytics improve your product decisions

Make better business decisions with real-time call data visualized in your Smith.ai dashboard. Every call summary includes AI-generated metadata covering actions completed, caller disposition, priority, call recording and transcription, and more.

Track monthly call volume against historical performance, analyze lead quality patterns, identify which features generate the most questions, and monitor support inquiry trends by category.

When Smith.ai integrates with your CRM and support systems, you can tie the impact of calls and how they're handled — the efficiency of your qualification process and how quickly you respond to prospects — directly to pipeline growth and customer satisfaction metrics.

Comprehensive analytics available across both AI and live virtual receptionist services provide visibility into customer needs, common pain points, and opportunities for product improvement.

Choose the right blend of AI and human agents for your software company

Smith.ai provides flexible receptionist solutions that adapt to your company's specific needs. A hybrid model offers the best of both worlds. 

For example, AI receptionists handle routine product inquiries and demo scheduling, while live virtual receptionists manage enterprise opportunities, complex technical discussions, and escalated support situations that require relationship management.

You can adjust the balance as your business evolves, based on your current growth stage, product complexity, or customer segment mix. 

Nothing is fixed within the system, so you can make changes anytime. Smith.ai integrates with software industry tools and platforms to preserve your existing workflows.
