02Voice AI Agents

An AI receptionist that answers every call.

Voice AI agents pick up your business line day and night, understand what callers need, qualify them with your questions and book the appointment. When a person is needed, they hand over with a summary.

The problem

Every unanswered call is a customer deciding for you.

Phones ring when your team is busy, at lunch, on another call or already home. Callers rarely wait, and many never leave a voicemail.

  1. 01

    Calls ring out after hours

    Evenings and weekends are when many people finally have time to call. If nobody answers, they call the next business on the list.

  2. 02

    Front desks are stretched

    The same person greets walk-ins, answers questions and books appointments. When two things happen at once, the phone loses.

  3. 03

    New leads wait for a callback

    Web and ad leads often wait hours for a first call. By then, interest has cooled or a competitor has already booked them.

Key features

A phone line that works like your best receptionist.

Five capabilities, configured around your services, opening hours, calendar and the questions your team would ask.

01Inbound calls

02Outbound calls

Speed-to-lead calling

When someone fills in your form or an ad lead form, the agent can call them back within minutes, while they still remember why they reached out, and book the next step.

  • Calls leads who asked to be contacted
  • Respects calling hours and time zones
  • Retries on your schedule
  • Falls back to SMS if unanswered

03Qualification

Lead qualification on the call

The agent asks the questions you would ask, in a natural conversation, and saves every answer as structured fields. Your team sees who is a fit before they ever pick up the phone.

  • Your criteria, your wording
  • Answers saved as CRM fields
  • Clear fit or not-a-fit outcome
  • Unclear cases flagged for review

04Scheduling

Books straight into your calendar

The agent checks real availability while the caller is on the line, offers open times, books the one they pick and sends a text confirmation before the call ends.

  • Reads live availability
  • Respects buffers, staff and service areas
  • SMS confirmation and reminders
  • Reschedules by phone or text

05Human handoff

Warm transfer with a summary

When a caller asks for a person, or the conversation needs one, the agent transfers the call and briefs your team member first. Nobody has to ask the caller to repeat themselves.

  • Transfers on request or by your rules
  • Summary shared before connecting
  • Takes a message if nobody is free
  • Full transcript saved to the record

A short summary is shared with your team member first, so the caller never repeats themselves.

How it works

What happens on every call.

Inbound or outbound, each call follows the playbook you approve.

  1. 01Trigger

    The phone rings

    A customer calls your number, or a new lead arrives and the agent places a call to them.

  2. 02AI

    Greets and listens

    The agent answers with your greeting, works out what the caller needs and responds from your business information.

  3. 03AI

    Qualifies

    It asks your questions, such as service, location, timing or insurance, and records each answer.

  4. 04Action

    Books or routes

    Qualified callers are booked into open slots. Urgent or complex calls go to the right person.

  5. 05Handoff

    Summarizes

    A call summary, transcript and outcome are saved to your CRM, and your team is notified.

Your playbook

You decide how every call goes.

Before launch, we map your call flow together: what the agent says, what it asks, and exactly when it books, transfers or takes a message.

Illustrative playbook

One agent, two languages.

The same agent can hold the conversation in English or Arabic. Here’s one short booking call at a clinic in Riyadh, in both.
