AI receptionist or answering service: how to choose

Both make sure calls get answered. They differ in what happens next. Here is how to decide.

What an answering service does

A traditional answering service uses live people to answer for you, take a message and pass it on. It is familiar and human, and it usually works from a script.

What an AI receptionist does

An AI receptionist answers in a natural voice, asks the questions you set, can book directly onto your calendar and texts you a summary. It is available at any hour and can handle many calls at once.

Questions to ask yourself

Do you need calls booked directly, or are messages enough?
How many calls arrive at once during busy periods?
Do callers need a human for your type of work?
How much do you want to control what is said?
How does each option charge: per minute, per call or monthly?

Our view

For many service businesses, booking directly and handling surges matter most, which is where an AI receptionist fits well. If your callers expect a person every time, a live service or a hybrid may suit you better. We will tell you honestly which fits when we talk.
