An AI receptionist is a smart virtual assistant that answers your company’s calls 24/7 using cutting-edge artificial intelligence and text-to-speech algorithms. Unlike traditional call centers that depend on human operators with limited hours, an AI receptionist delivers reliable, professional service day or night. It can schedule appointments, capture leads, handle common questions, and forward critical calls—without the constraints or overhead of human staffing.

With our AI receptionists, every caller gets instant attention and customized responses drawn directly from your business details. The system improves with each interaction, becoming more accurate and effective over time.

Setting up your AI receptionist takes just minutes — no tech expertise needed. Answer a few basic questions about your business (hours, pricing, services, etc.) and let us handle the rest. Receptionists are ready within 24hrs.

Next, make a few test calls to ensure everything's working smoothly. When you're happy with the setup and how your receptionist responds to different inquiries, you're ready to go live! We will then integrate your new receptionist with your current phone number and it will start answering calls and sending you summaries by text or email.

Answrly's AI receptionist plans begin at only $149/month with zero setup costs and no hidden fees. Every plan includes your own AI receptionist, white-glove onboarding, dedicated support staff, and full customization options.

A human receptionist, by contrast, typically costs $2,500–$4,000 per month and traditional answering services often charge $0.75–$2.00 per minute. With Answrly, you get an AI receptionist that operates 24/7, never takes a break, and manages all your calls for one flat monthly price.

An AI receptionist elevates your business communications by making sure every call and lead is captured. Core advantages include 24/7 availability, professional consistency, instant responses, and major cost savings.

It can manage multiple callers at once, schedule appointments directly on your calendar, collect detailed lead information, and provide answers to common questions—all while staying aligned with your company’s brand and tone.

Unlike a traditional receptionist, your AI never takes a sick day, doesn’t need training or benefits, and delivers the same high-quality experience on the thousandth call as it does on the first. This dependability allows your business to capture more opportunities and deliver outstanding customer care.

Most callers will know they are not talking to a real person, but from our research, 8 out of 10 callers have no objection to talking to an AI receptionist. As AI has grown in awareness, more and more consumers are becoming familiar with the technology that powers AI receptionists. It's a major upgrade from the outdated 'press 1 to hear our business hours', 'press 2 to hear our address', system of call answering.
