AI Receptionist
AI Receptionist for Small Business
Your customers call, chat and message at all hours — usually the hours you're busy on the job. A custom AI receptionist answers every one of them instantly, 24/7, in a natural voice: giving quotes, capturing leads, and booking appointments so nothing slips away. It's built for your business, trained on your real services and prices, and you only pay once you love it.
The basics
What is an AI receptionist?
An AI receptionist is software that does the front-desk job for your business — answering incoming calls, website chats and messages, all day and all night, without a salary, sick days, or a lunch break. Some people call it an AI answering service, an AI voice agent, or an AI phone agent; they all describe the same thing: a friendly, tireless assistant that picks up when you can't.
Unlike a generic chatbot or a legacy phone tree, a Botlery AI receptionist is trained on your real services, prices, policies and FAQs. So when a customer asks "how much to unclog a drain?" or "do you take walk-ins on Saturday?", it answers accurately from your actual business information — in a natural human voice — instead of guessing or reading a rigid script. It stays guardrailed to your business, captures every lead, and hands you the details the moment a new customer comes in.
For a small or local service business, that means the 62% of calls that normally go unanswered stop turning into voicemails your competitor calls back first. Every ring becomes a chance to book a job.

FAQ
AI receptionist questions, answered
What is an AI receptionist?
An AI receptionist (also called an AI answering service, AI voice agent or AI phone agent) is software that answers your calls and messages in a natural voice, 24/7. Botlery's AI receptionists answer questions, give quotes, qualify and capture leads, and book appointments — all trained on your real business information, so they sound like your business and never a generic bot. You can talk to ours live.
How much does an AI receptionist cost?
An AI receptionist on your phone line or a website voice agent is $300 one-time, built on your own accounts so you own it. A text chatbot is $10/month fully managed or $200 one-time on your accounts. There's no per-minute meter, no per-caller fee, and no payment up front — a fraction of the $2,000–$7,000 agencies charge. You get a free demo first and pay only if you're happy.
Does an AI receptionist sound human?
Yes. The live voice demo on our homepage is the proof — it speaks in a natural human voice, handles interruptions, and can talk in your customers' language. You can hear exactly how it sounds before you decide, so there are no surprises for your callers.
Will an AI receptionist work with my phone and website?
Yes. The chat and voice receptionists install on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, GoDaddy and custom sites with a simple snippet we add for you. The phone receptionist runs on a dedicated phone number we set up. You do nothing technical — we build, train and install it, usually within a few days.
