[01] Why local UK businesses pick custom

AI receptionist. Built for local businesses.

Every local business — café, dentist, gym, salon, accountant, tutor, vet — shares the same problem: customers expect immediate answers, and an unanswered call after 5pm is usually a customer gone forever. An AI receptionist answers in 2 rings, 24/7, in your tone of voice.

We build AI receptionists for local businesses that handle the most common 80% of enquiries automatically (booking, opening hours, prices, location, services), book real appointments into your calendar, and route the genuinely-complex 20% to a human callback. Voice and chat share one brain — same agent on phone, web chat, WhatsApp.

Build runs £2,500–£8,000. Running cost averages £30–£200/month depending on call volume. Most local businesses see payback in 60–120 days.

[05] Questions

AI receptionist for local businesses FAQ.

Yes — trained on your real services, your real prices, your real opening hours, your real area. Updates live in a simple admin you can edit any time.

It transfers — booking a callback in your calendar, taking a message with full transcript, or warm-transferring to your number if you are on shift. Customer choice.

2–4 weeks from kickoff. Most setup time is training it on your real business, not the technical build.

No — modern voice models (ElevenLabs, OpenAI, Deepgram) are functionally indistinguishable from human in most calls under 3 minutes. Customers usually realise mid-call only because of how patiently it answers.

Usage-based — roughly £0.20–£0.60 per minute of voice, or £0.001 per chat message. A business with 100 calls/month averaging 2 minutes pays £40–£120/month in usage. Build is one-off fixed-price.

Falls back to "let me get someone to call you back" — books a callback slot, sends you a transcript + summary by SMS or Slack. Customer never gets a dead end.
