How AI Receptionists Work — Setup in 5 Minutes
AI receptionists might sound futuristic, but they're surprisingly simple to set up and use. In under 5 minutes, you can have a natural-sounding AI answering your business phone, booking appointments, and qualifying leads. Here's exactly how it works, step by step.
Why How It Works Needs This
When someone calls your business number, the call forwards to ConvoCore's AI. The AI answers in a natural voice, greets the caller by your business name, and begins a conversation. It understands the caller's intent, asks relevant questions, and takes action — booking an appointment, answering a question, or transferring the call. The entire experience feels like talking to a knowledgeable receptionist.
The Problem
- Skepticism about AI voice quality and conversational ability
- Concerns about complex setup requiring technical skills
- Worry about callers having a bad experience with automation
- Uncertainty about how AI handles edge cases and unexpected questions
