Can you work with the software we already use?
Yes. We look at your existing systems first and connect them where it makes sense. We only suggest replacing something when there's a clear reason and you agree.
Does AI replace our staff?
No. It takes the repetitive handling off your team and covers the times nobody can get to an enquiry. Anything that needs a person's judgement gets handed to a person, with the details already captured.
Will callers know they're talking to an AI?
Yes. It introduces itself as a digital assistant from the first line and tells callers the call is recorded. Most people just want their question answered or their job booked.
Do I have to change my phone number?
Calls you don't answer forward to the voice AI. Your number stays the same, and your phone still rings like it always has when you can pick up.
What happens when it can't answer something?
It takes a message, tells the person you'll be in touch, and flags it to you straight away.
Do we need a new CRM?
Not automatically. If your current CRM does the job, we connect to it. If you don't have one, or yours is holding you back, we'll recommend a connected CRM and set it up. Your accounting, scheduling or job software can stay where it is.
How long does it take to set up?
It depends on the workflow, the systems involved and the testing it needs. After the audit you get a defined scope and a launch plan, so you know what's happening and when.
How do you handle privacy and AI risk?
We agree up front what information the AI can use, who can see what, when it hands over to a person and how it tells people it's an AI. We test all of that before launch. Some businesses have extra privacy rules, and we'll tell you if you need specialist advice.
What does it cost?
It depends on what your business needs. The Discovery audit works that out, and you'll get the price in writing before any work starts.
Who will I actually deal with?
The person who scopes your build is the person who sets it up and looks after it. No call centre, no hand-off to an account manager.
Most of our enquiries come by email or the website. Is this still for us?
Yes. Website chat, forms, SMS and email get the same quick reply and follow-up as calls. Voice is one channel, not the whole service.
