An AI receptionist that never calls in sick
BOB answers your business phone like a trained front-desk person: greets callers by your business name, answers their questions, books the appointment and texts you a summary. Day, night and weekends.
In short: An AI receptionist is a phone assistant that answers your business line, handles common questions, books appointments on your calendar and passes urgent calls to you. Back Office Bot sets one up on your current number in about a week.
What an AI receptionist does
- Answers every call by your business name, on your current number.
- Answers the questions you approve: hours, service area, starting prices, what to expect.
- Books appointments and estimates on your calendar and sends a text confirmation.
- Sends emergencies and VIP callers straight to your cell.
- Texts you a short summary of every call, so you know what happened without listening to anything.
AI receptionist vs. hiring one
A full-time receptionist is a good hire if you have the volume and the budget. You also pay payroll taxes, cover vacations and sick days, and still have nobody on the phone at 9 p.m. or on a Sunday. Most owner-run businesses aren't there yet, and their calls go to voicemail or to the owner's cell in the middle of a job.
An AI receptionist covers the gap. It doesn't replace the personal touch you give your customers. It makes sure every one of them reaches you in the first place.
What it won't do
BOB won't make promises you haven't approved, won't quote prices you haven't given us, and won't pretend to be a person if a caller asks. Anything outside its script gets passed to you with the caller's details.
How setup works
- A 15-minute call so we learn your services, prices, hours and rules.
- We build the receptionist, connect it to your number and calendar, and test it with you.
- You go live. We review calls with you in the first two weeks and adjust anything that sounds off.
Pricing
The AI receptionist is part of our plans, which start at $297 a month. For a limited time, founding clients get a lower rate locked for 12 months with setup waived. See all plans.
Questions owners ask
Is an AI receptionist the same as an AI answering service?
Pretty much. People use both names. We use "receptionist" when the main job is booking appointments and "answering service" when it's mostly taking calls and messages. BOB does both.
Will it work with my calendar?
It works with Google Calendar and Outlook, and with many field service tools. We check your system before we promise anything.
What if a caller wants a real person?
BOB can transfer the call to you or take a message and text it to you right away. You choose.
Do I keep my phone number?
Yes. Customers keep calling the number they already know.
