Design the receptionist your business deserves: your hours, your services, your greeting and voice, the text a missed caller gets (with STOP and quiet hours built in) and the rules for booking. Then listen to it, put it through real call scenarios and see exactly where it covers you.

Answer · text back · book · hand off

The front desk that never goes to lunch, and knows when to get a person.

01

Design it

Hours, services and how long each takes, a greeting that says it's a virtual receptionist, and a voice that suits your brand.

02

It answers

Callers get your greeting, answers about hours and location, and a warm transfer to staff when they say something urgent.

03

It texts back

A missed call gets a text within a minute, held until morning during quiet hours, and never again once someone replies STOP.

04

It books

Openings respect your notice period, start times, buffers and booking window, and a confirmation text follows.

    What this is, and isn't. The demo is a rule-based simulator that runs in your browser: it places no calls, sends no texts, makes no AI call and connects to no phone line or calendar, and your design never leaves this page (the sign-up form above sends only what you type into it). The voice preview uses your device's own speech voice. Sample phone numbers are fictional. Always tell callers they are speaking to a virtual receptionist, send texts only to people who contacted you, honour every STOP and keep 911 as the answer for emergencies.
