Done-for-you setup in Canada, from $150/month." url: https://ai-voice-agent.ca/ai-receptionist/ last_updated: 2026-11-05 --- # AI receptionist that answers every call for your business An AI receptionist picks up your calls, talks with the caller in a natural voice, books the appointment and sends you the details. We set it up for you and tune it on real calls. ## What the agent does on every call - Picks up on the first ring: No hold music, no voicemail and no phone menu. Day, night, weekends and holidays, even when three people call at once. - Talks like a person: A natural voice in clear English that greets callers with your business name, listens and answers follow-up questions. - Asks your questions: Name, address, what is wrong, how urgent it is and the best number to call back. The questions come from you, not from a template. - Books the job: Puts the visit straight into your calendar in the slots you allow, or takes a request for you to confirm. - Texts you the details: Right after the call you get a short text and email: who called, what they need, the address and what was promised. - Passes on emergencies: When a call matches your emergency rules, it transfers the caller to your cell or the on-call person right away. ## What a call with an AI receptionist sounds like A typical call and the text you get right after it. ## AI receptionist or a person at the front desk? A person at the desk is great when they are there. The trouble is lunch, sick days, the second and third call at the same time, and every evening and weekend. Those are the calls that go to voicemail, and most callers do not leave a message. An AI receptionist takes those calls. Many owners keep their staff for daytime calls and send the agent the rest: missed calls, overflow and after hours. See [after-hours answering](https://ai-voice-agent.ca/after-hours-answering-service/). ## We set it up at your business and stay until it works You do not configure anything. We do the setup work with you and keep adjusting until you are happy with how it handles calls. - We come to you: In Toronto and the GTA we visit your office, shop or yard. Elsewhere in Canada we do the same session over a video call. We learn your services, prices, service area, hours and how you like jobs booked. - We write the call script: What to say, which questions to ask, what counts as an emergency, who gets the transfer and what the agent must never promise. You read it and approve it. - We test it together: You and your team call the agent and try to trip it up. We fix every answer you do not like before a single customer hears it. - You go live with your number: You keep your phone number. Calls you do not answer, or all calls after hours, forward to the agent. - We tune it for the first weeks: We review real calls, tighten answers and add the questions customers actually ask, until the results are where you want them. ## Simple pricing - Monthly plan: from $150 per month (CAD, before tax) - One-time setup: from $299, free for the first 10 businesses - Final price depends on call volume and integrations and is confirmed in writing. ## AI receptionist questions **What is an AI receptionist?** A voice agent that answers your phone, has a real conversation with the caller, asks your questions, books appointments and sends you a written summary. It works the same at 3 a.m. as at noon. **Will callers know they are talking to an AI?** The voice is natural and most callers simply get their problem solved. We still recommend the agent says it is an automated assistant if asked, and it can hand the call to a person whenever the caller wants one. **Do I need a new phone number?** No. You keep your number. We forward the calls you choose to the agent: missed calls, after-hours calls or all calls. **Can it book into my calendar?** Yes, if you use an online calendar or booking tool. If you do not, the agent takes the request and texts it to you to confirm. **What languages does it speak?** The agent answers in English. Tell us if many of your customers speak another language and we will tell you honestly what is possible. **How much does it cost?** From $150 a month, plus setup from $299. Setup is free for our first 10 businesses. The final price depends on your call volume and how many integrations you need.
