"Smith.ai is just excellent. My go-to receptionist team that I use and recommend to other law firms ... and business owners generally!! They go above and beyond to cater their receptionist and live chat services to the specific needs of my business."

Joey Vitale

Testimonial Image

Smith.ai was stellar. They listened to me and tailored my reception service to my specific needs. They were also very good about helping me stay within my budget.

Shamia Cottrell

Testimonial Image

My only regret about hiring Smith.ai is that I didn't make the decision sooner. They've been instrumental in helping my team operate virtually during shelter-in-place orders amid the coronavirus pandemic.
