Answering AI Product Information

Answering AI is an AI-powered call answering service that acts as your virtual receptionist, answering customer calls 24/7 with GPT-4o-powered conversations. It connects to your existing phone numbers, calendars, and call routing to handle inquiries, schedule appointments, and route complex questions to your team. Ideal for small to midsize businesses across industries such as law, online stores, medical practices, creative agencies, and SaaS teams.

How It Works

  1. Create Your AI Agent: Describe how you want calls handled in plain language (like a ChatGPT prompt).
  2. Connect Everything: Link your phone numbers, calendars, and call forwarding so the AI can manage scheduling and context-aware routing.
  3. Go Live: Deploy immediately with a trial, then scale with a transparent pricing plan.

The system uses GPT-4o to power conversations, providing context-aware responses and continuous updates from prompts and templates.
