// 06 — questions
Good questions.
Does it sound like a robot?
No. It uses a natural, human-sounding voice and talks like a friendly front-desk person. Call our demo line and judge for yourself. We also tell callers they're talking to an AI assistant, because honesty builds trust.
Do I have to change my phone number?
No. You keep your number and forward calls to your AI front desk, all the time or only when you're busy or closed. You can switch it off any time.
What if it can't answer something?
It never makes things up. If a question is outside what it knows, or a caller is upset or it's urgent, it takes a message, texts you right away, or transfers the call to you.
Which booking systems does it work with?
It books directly into Square Appointments, Google Calendar and Calendly. For Booksy, it answers questions and texts your customer your Booksy link to finish booking. Using something else? Ask us.
Do I need a new website?
No. We can add a booking button and your AI number to the site you have. If you'd like a new one, a fast, modern site is included in your plan, and we host it for you.
How long does setup take?
Usually days. We learn your services, prices, hours and policies, build and test your assistant, and you approve it before it goes live.
