How it works
The AI answers the call, recognizes intent, uses business rules and knowledge content, completes the next step, and stores a summary for staff.
Common tasks
AI receptionists usually handle greeting, booking, rescheduling, lead capture, message-taking, transfer, reminders, and call summaries.

When it is useful
It is most useful when calls are valuable but unpredictable, staff cannot always answer, or the business wants after-hours coverage.
