Questions About AI Receptionist
Still have questions? We're here to help. Book a free call and we'll walk you through everything.
Ruby and Smith.ai are human-staffed answering services that charge per minute or per call — typically $300–$800/month forever, with limited booking automation and shallow integration with your systems. A chatbot only handles website visitors who actively click on it. Our AI Receptionist answers your actual phone, books appointments directly into your calendar, sends SMS confirmations, and runs on infrastructure you own. One-time build, no per-call fees, and no monthly platform charges from us.
