Frequently Asked Questions

We understand: You have questions

Here are answers to 20 common ones

Q: What is an Enlightened Receptionist?

A: Enlightened Receptionists are AI Receptionist solutions that automatically answer your phone, email, texts, DMs, and website inquiries. They represent your company to your customers so you don't have to. They are trained on your business, industry, and brand and use that knowledge to represent your company and answer your customer's questions. They can even book the customer an appointment on your calendar (ex: Sales Call, Estimate, or Service Appointment)!

Q: What types of businesses benefit most from an AI receptionist?

A: Any business where you need to save time, want to expand your business, or where a missed call, email, text, or DM could mean a lost customer.

Q: How does an AI Receptionist work?

A: Our receptionists use advanced natural language technology to greet your customer, understand their needs, and provide professional responses, just like a live receptionist!

Q: What is a Website Widget?

A: Our Enlightened Website Widget is an AI-powered solution that answers questions for your website visitors. There are two kinds: a Chat Widget and a Voice Widget.

The Website Chat Widget is a window that the customer opens on your website to ask questions. Your Receptionist represents your company, answers your customer's questions, and books appointments on your calendar, the same as all of the other Enlightened Receptionists.

The Website Voice Widget does the same but, instead of the customer typing in a chat box, they talk with your receptionist via an online call!

Q: Does it work with my existing phone number?

A: Absolutely. You can either forward your existing business number to your dedicated AI number, or port your number directly to our platform.

Q:  What hours is the receptionist available to answer calls?

A: All of our Enlightened Receptionists are available 24x7x365 or a schedule that you specify (ex: Only during nights and weekends).

Q: Can it handle multiple calls at once?

A: Yes! Unlike a human receptionist, our Enlightened Receptionists can handle an unlimited number of concurrent calls, emails, texts, and chats. Your customers will never get a busy signal again.

Q:  Can a call be forwarded directly to me?

A:  Absolutely! Our Enlightened Receptionist is trained on how to determine the caller's needs. Your receptionist can either take a message or forward the call. If you want calls forwarded, they will forward the call to you or a member of your team instantly.

Q: How do I check voicemail?

A: That's the beauty of our Enlightened Receptionists: You won't need to anymore! If the caller wants to leave a message, they simply ask your AI Receptionist to take a message. You'll see that message in the transcript you receive in text and/or email after the text conversation ends.

Q: Will my customers know they’re speaking to AI?

A: The system is designed to sound natural and professional giving customers a seamless experience.

Q: Can I customize how the receptionist greets my customers?

A: Absolutely! Your Enlightened Receptionist can begin the conversation with a greeting of your choice. You can have them announce your business name and/or introduce themself with a name and voice that you choose.

Q: What information can the receptionist capture?

A: Our Enlightened Receptionist can capture the customer's name and phone number, why they're contacting you, and how they heard about you. They can also capture the person's email address if you'd like.

Q: Can your receptionist answer my customer's questions?

A: Yup! Our Professional and Premium plans include setting up a knowledge base with information about your business. Our receptionist then learns from this knowledge base, your website, and any other information you provide so it can answer questions about your business like the services you provide, pricing, and anything else you'd like to teach it.

Q: What if the receptionist can’t answer a question?

A: When the receptionist doesn't know an answer, it will let the customer know and then either forward the call to you or tell them that someone will reach out to the with an answer shortly, whichever you specify.

Q: Can it schedule appointments for me?

A: Absolutely! With our Scheduling plan, the customer can have your Enlightened Receptionist schedule, reschedule, and cancel appointments directly on your calendar.

Q: What languages does the receptionist speak?

A: Good question. Our Voice Receptionists speak English, Spanish, French, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, and Dutch. Currently our Text and Social Media Receptionists only use English.

Q: Can I use this for multiple phone numbers? Multiple businesses?

A: Yes, you can set up separate greetings and call flows for multiple phone numbers as long as they're for the same business. An additional charge of $10/month applies for each additional phone number.

A separate receptionist is required for each business because the AI needs to be trained differently for each business.

Q: Is setup difficult?

A: Setup is fairly quick but depends on how complex your needs are. Usually, you can be up and running in anywhere from a day to a week but most times it takes a few days when you account our discovery call and testing. During our Discovery call ,we get to know your business and really understand what your needs are. We then create a customized Enlightened Receptionist that's tailored to your business and its needs.
