Common questions about what Receptionist Wizard handles, how the demo works, and how pricing and calling workflows are structured.
What does Receptionist Wizard do?
It acts as an AI front desk for phone calls: answering common questions, collecting lead or intake information, routing calls, taking messages, supporting scheduling workflows, and escalating to a person when configured.
Can I try it before signing up?
Yes. The live demo uses your business website to build a temporary receptionist from public business information. To prevent abuse, the demo requires valid contact details and phone verification before AI or phone-demo resources are used.
Does it answer inbound calls?
Yes. Inbound answering is the core Receptionist Wizard service, including routine questions, after-hours coverage, intake, routing, and configured escalation.
Can it make outbound calls?
Yes, approved outbound workflows can be configured for use cases such as reminders and follow-up. Outbound campaign work is scoped separately so consent, calling rules, integrations, and usage are explicit.
How are minutes counted?
The standard receptionist plans meter connected AI-handled call time. Lite includes 200 monthly minutes, Starter includes 500, Professional includes 1,500, and Enterprise includes 3,000. Additional inbound receptionist minutes are priced by plan; custom outbound workflows are scoped separately.
Can it transfer callers to my staff?
Yes. You can configure transfer or escalation rules so callers reach the right person when the AI should not continue handling the request.
Can it schedule appointments?
Scheduling workflows can be configured with supported calendar or booking integrations. The exact workflow depends on the business rules and systems you use.
What information does the demo use?
The demo analyzes public website information and prioritizes high-value pages such as services, pricing, contact/hours, about, FAQ, and team pages. The receptionist is instructed not to invent facts that are missing from the scanned evidence.
What happens if the AI does not know an answer?
It should say that it does not have the information rather than fabricate an answer, and a production receptionist can be configured to transfer or collect a message for unsupported requests.
Do you offer a dedicated phone number?
Yes. The included number allowance depends on the plan. You can also discuss routing or number-porting requirements during setup.
