We build it for you. You don't touch a thing.

Hiring a human receptionist takes weeks — interviews, contracts, training. We replace that entire process with a single onboarding call.

01

One onboarding call

We learn everything about your business — your services, your customers, how you like things handled. That's all you need to do.

02

We do the build

Your AI receptionist is configured around your business. Higher tiers get deeper customisation — lower tiers use proven templates that are ready in days.

03

You approve it

You test the AI before it goes live. If anything feels off, we adjust it. You have full control without doing any of the technical work.

04

It runs itself

Once live, your AI receptionist handles customer interactions autonomously. Need an update? Message us — we change it the same day, no extra charge.

Everything a human receptionist does. At a fraction of the price.

Small businesses spend thousands every month on reception staff. Most of that cost goes to hours when nothing much happens. Your AI only charges a flat monthly fee — no matter how busy it gets.

No salary. No NI. No pension.

A human receptionist costs €2,000–4,000 a month before you factor in employer taxes, benefits, and holiday cover. Your AI costs €149.

No training required

We train your AI on your business. You don't spend weeks briefing someone, writing manuals, or watching them make mistakes with real customers.

No bad days

Your AI is patient, consistent and professional every single interaction — whether it's the first enquiry of the day or the fiftieth.

No coverage gaps

Evenings, weekends, bank holidays — your AI receptionist is at the desk. No holiday cover, no agency fees, no voicemail black hole.

No onboarding delay

Hiring takes weeks. Our setup takes days. Your AI can be handling real customer enquiries within 5 business days of your first call with us.

No limit on simultaneous chats

One human can handle one conversation at a time. Your AI handles ten, fifty, a hundred — all at once, all with the same quality.

The numbers don't lie

Stop paying for a desk, a salary, and employer taxes. Pay a flat monthly fee and get better coverage.

What our clients say

SR
Sofia R.
Beauty salon owner, Switzerland
★★★★★

"We couldn't justify the cost of a receptionist for our small firm. This gave us the professional front desk we needed at a price that actually makes sense."

Frequently asked

Is this actually cheaper than hiring someone? +
Significantly. A part-time receptionist in most European countries costs €1,500–2,500 a month in salary alone, before you add employer taxes, holiday pay, and sick leave. Our Professional plan is €299 a month, all in. Even the smallest business saves thousands per year.
What does the setup actually involve from my side? +
You tell us about your business — your services, your customers, how you like things handled. We handle everything else: building, testing and deploying your AI receptionist. Higher tiers include deeper customisation built around how you specifically operate. You review it before it goes live and that's it.
How does it handle things a human would normally judge? +
We configure specific escalation rules during setup. When a situation falls outside what your AI can handle confidently, it tells the customer someone will follow up, captures their details, and alerts you. You stay in control of the edge cases without being involved in the routine ones.
Can it replace my receptionist entirely? +
For most small businesses, yes — the AI handles 80–90% of what a receptionist typically does: answering questions, booking appointments, capturing leads, and relaying information. The remaining 10–20% of genuinely complex or sensitive situations still go to you or your team.
What if I need to change something after going live? +
Just message us. New service, updated pricing, change in opening hours, seasonal message — we update your AI the same day at no extra cost. No portal, no configuration, no hassle.
Is there a minimum contract? +
No contracts. Month to month, cancel with 30 days notice. We think the service speaks for itself — you shouldn't need to be locked in to stay.
