What is an AI virtual receptionist?
An AI virtual receptionist answers your business phone with a voice agent instead of a person at a desk or a remote operator. Vistrow Voice answers every call in your business name, answers common questions from information you approve, books appointments, takes messages and transfers urgent calls to your team, then saves a summary of each call.
Vistrow Voice is an AI calling agent and AI voice-agent platform for phone and web conversations, built in India.

One front desk cannot answer two places at once.
A small office loses calls in the same few moments every day: someone is at the counter, the line is already busy, it is lunch, or it is after five. Most callers who reach voicemail do not leave a message; they call the next business on the list.
A virtual receptionist covers those moments. A live service puts a remote operator on the line who reads your script. An AI virtual receptionist answers instantly, at any hour, on as many calls at once as your plan allows, and can finish simple tasks on the call: answer a question, book a slot or take a clear message.
- Answers on the first ring, day or night, including weekends
- Several callers at once, so nobody hears a busy tone
- Books into your calendar instead of only taking a message
- Transfers to your team when a caller needs a person

Virtual receptionist questions, answered.
The things people ask us most. If yours isn’t here, talk to us and a person will reply.
Ask us directlyA virtual receptionist answers your business calls without sitting at your front desk. A live service uses remote human operators; an AI virtual receptionist uses a voice agent that answers instantly, books appointments, takes messages and transfers callers to your team.
Vistrow Voice starts at $99 a month on Launch, which includes 250 standard call minutes, and Grow is $299 a month with 1,200 minutes. Your phone provider bills the number and line separately.
For routine calls it is faster and always available, and it can handle several calls at once. Human operators are better with upset callers and unusual requests. Many businesses let the AI answer first and transfer the calls that need a person.
Yes, on phone calls. Set a transfer number and the agent dials it and stays on until your colleague answers. A call from the website button runs in the browser and cannot be transferred, so the agent takes a callback number instead.
No. You keep your provider and route a number to the agent over SIP. The website call button needs no number at all.
American and British English voices are set up with you on request, and the agent follows a caller who switches to Hindi, Punjabi, Gujarati or another supported language.
You write the opening line, so you decide how the receptionist introduces itself. Many businesses say it is a virtual or AI assistant in the greeting.
