AI receptionists and phone answering

An AI receptionist answers your business phone line, takes messages, answers common questions and can pass calls to your team. These services are sold to businesses as a monthly plan with a set number of calls or minutes, and some also offer human receptionists.

SpideyChat does not answer phone calls. It is listed here only where a website assistant can take some of the same load, for example enquiries that would otherwise become calls.
