What it is

What does an AI receptionist actually do?

An AI receptionist is software that answers your phone, holds a natural conversation with the caller, answers common questions, books appointments and captures the enquiry, without a person needing to pick up. Unavoidable CRM builds one into the CRM itself, so every call becomes a contact, a booking or a follow-up in the same place you run the rest of the business.

In practice it:

It is there to make sure the routine calls that would otherwise ring out are handled, and the ones that need you still reach you.

How it works

Live in an afternoon.

1

Connect your number

Forward your existing number to it, or use a new local number. You keep your own phone account.

2

Teach it your business

Paste your website address and it proposes knowledge base entries for opening hours, services, areas and prices. You check and edit them.

3

Let it answer

Calls are answered, booked and logged against the contact, with a live transcript and summary for every call in the CRM.

Cost

How much does an AI receptionist cost in the UK?
