# AI Receptionist Now — 24/7 AI Phone Answering Service for Small Business

> AI Receptionist Now (https://aireceptionistnow.com) is an AI-powered virtual receptionist that answers your business calls 24/7 in a natural voice, books appointments straight into your calendar, qualifies and captures leads, and texts or emails you a summary of every call. It goes live in under 10 minutes with no code, handles 25+ languages and 20+ voices, and costs a fraction of hiring front-desk staff or an answering service.

AI Receptionist Now is built for businesses that lose money to missed, after-hours, and overflow calls — medical and dental clinics, plumbers, HVAC, electricians, roofers and other trades, salons, spas and med spas, real estate agents, law offices, restaurants, auto repair shops, insurance agencies, and pest control. The AI picks up instantly, holds a natural conversation, follows the instructions you set, and never sends a caller to voicemail.

## What it does

- **Answers every call 24/7** — nights, weekends, holidays, and during call overflow, with no hold times and no voicemail.
- **Books appointments during the call** — scheduling directly into your connected calendar without double-booking.
- **Qualifies and captures leads** — collects caller details, answers FAQs, and routes or escalates as needed.
- **Sends a summary of every call** — a transcript and recap by text or email right after the caller hangs up.
- **Speaks the caller's language** — 25+ languages with the ability to switch languages mid-conversation.
- **Sounds human** — natural, conversational voices (20+ to choose from); many callers can't tell it's an AI.
- **Escalates when needed** — captures details, schedules a callback, or transfers to a live person in real time when a request falls outside its scope.

## How it works

1. **Describe your business** — tell the AI what you do and how calls should be handled.
2. **Choose a voice and language** — pick from 20+ voices and 25+ languages.
3. **Go live the same day** — connect a dedicated number or your existing business line; setup takes under 10 minutes with no coding or technical skills required.

## Integrations

Native integrations with Google Calendar, Outlook, HubSpot, Salesforce, and Calendly, plus thousands of apps through Zapier. Custom integrations are available via an open API, so caller data flows straight into the tools you already use.

## Pricing
