AI receptionist
What an AI receptionist costs in India
An AI receptionist answers your phone, books appointments and sends you a summary of each call. The price depends on a few things you can estimate yourself. Here is what they are.
The short answer
Our AI receptionist starts from ₹9,999 or $149 a month. Your price depends on how many calls you get, which languages you need and what the receptionist has to connect to. We give a range, never a fixed quote, until we have seen your call volume.
What you pay for
| Part | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Setup and training | Teaching the receptionist your services, opening hours, prices you are happy to share, and the questions callers ask most. |
| Monthly service | Handling calls, booking appointments, call summaries on WhatsApp or email, and a monthly review of how it is doing. |
| Phone line and call minutes | The phone line and the voice AI are used per minute. With us these are billed at cost, estimated up front from your call volume. |
| Connections | Linking to your calendar or booking software, and rules for transferring calls to your team. |
What moves the price
- Call volume and length. More and longer calls mean more call minutes.
- Languages. English and Hindi are covered. Each extra language adds testing.
- Booking. A receptionist that books into your calendar needs a connection. One that only answers questions and takes messages needs less.
- Transfer rules. The more situations you want sent straight to a person, the more rules to set up and test.
- Opening hours. Covering only after-hours and busy times uses fewer minutes than answering every call.
AI receptionist or a person?
A receptionist on a salary covers set hours. Calls still arrive at lunch, at 7 pm and on Sundays. An AI receptionist answers at those times, and a person can still handle the calls that need care.
It is not a replacement for your judgement. Urgent or complex calls should go to your team straight away. You set the rules, and callers can ask for a person at any time.
Questions to ask any provider
- Is the price per month, per minute or both? What is included in each?
- Can I keep my existing phone number, and what happens when I am already on a call?
- How does a caller reach a person, and how quickly?
- Are calls recorded or only transcribed, and how long are they kept?
- Does the receptionist tell callers it is an AI?
- Can I hear it in English and Hindi before I decide?
You can listen to a voice assistant in the AI Lab before you talk to anyone.
Common questions
Can I keep my existing phone number?
Yes. Calls are forwarded from your number when it is busy, unanswered or after hours, depending on the rules you choose.
Will callers know they are speaking to an AI?
Yes. It introduces itself as your business's AI assistant, and callers can ask to speak to a person at any time.
Does it speak Hindi?
Yes. It answers in English and Hindi.
What happens with urgent calls?
You decide. Urgent or complex calls are transferred to your team's number straight away, and the rest are handled and summarised.
