A good receptionist, without the 9 to 5 limit.
UK customers expect the phone to be answered and expect the person on it to sound local. A small firm usually has one person doing reception alongside everything else, so calls go to voicemail at lunch, after half five and whenever that person is busy.
An AI receptionist answers in a British-English voice from the first ring, works to your opening hours and your rules, and hands anything delicate to a person. It is not a call centre abroad and it is not a press-1 menu: callers simply say what they need.
- British-English voice, set up with you on request
- Your UK opening hours, out-of-hours rules and bank holidays
- Bookings, messages and urgent transfers on the call
- Consent, recording and retention under your control

Plain facts about where call data goes.
For calls your receptionist takes, you are the controller and we act as your processor. Our application, database and recording storage are in the United States and the call workers run in India, so call data leaves the UK. We do not offer UK or EU data residency today. Read the privacy policy and security page, and ask us for the data processing terms before you sign.
You decide what the greeting says, whether spoken consent is asked for, whether calls are recorded and how many days transcripts and recordings are kept. Every call is saved with its transcript and summary, so you can answer a subject access request from the record.
