Common questions
Does it actually sound human on a phone call?
Yes. We use modern, expressive voice synthesis tuned to sound like a calm front-desk person — not a robot. Customers regularly book without realizing it's AI.
Will it know my specific prices and services?
During setup you upload your service menu and any pricing notes. The AI quotes the same numbers you would, and it never invents a price it doesn't know.
What if it doesn't know the answer?
If a question is too specific, it politely takes the customer's name, number, and the question, then sends you an urgent notification so you can follow up personally.
What happens to my existing phone number?
You keep it. We forward your line through FrontDesk so the AI only picks up when you don't, or all the time if you prefer. Switching back takes one click.
How long does setup take?
Most shops are live in under an hour. Connect your phone and DMs, paste in your service menu, pick the AI's voice, and you're answering calls.
