What is an AI receptionist?
An AI receptionist is software that answers a business phone line in a natural voice, 24 hours a day. It greets the caller, asks qualifying questions, captures contact and job details, routes urgent calls, and — depending on the system — books the appointment directly into a scheduling tool. It is designed to replace voicemail and after-hours overflow, not a full front-desk team.
Between 22% and 36% of inbound calls to small service businesses go unanswered during business hours, and roughly 80% of callers will not leave a voicemail when a business does not answer — they move on to a competitor instead.
