Good service, on both sides of the phone.

Answer the call.
Keep the day moving.

You look after the person in front of you. Your receptionist helps the person on the line.

Connect your calendar so callers can choose an available time and book it, without waiting for someone to call back.

Meetings & appointments, booked
03

Bring in a real person.

When a caller asks, or a request needs your team, the receptionist tries their line. If nobody answers, it offers a callback instead.

A transfer first. A message if needed.

We set it up with you, test the calls, and check that bookings land where they should.

From “Are you free?” to “You’re booked.”

Straight into
your calendar.

With a simple calendar integration, your receptionist checks availability and books meetings or appointments during the call. No message for someone else to enter later.

  • Only offer the hours and services you choose.
  • Leave the right amount of time between bookings.
  • Confirm the booking once your calendar accepts it.

Sound familiar?

The phone shouldn’t come
before the person.

At the counter, in the chair, or at reception. A bit of backup can make a busy day feel different.

Local shops

You’re helping someone choose a product. The phone rings again. Let the receptionist answer questions about hours, services, and returns while you finish helping.

Routine answers first. A person when needed.

Barbers & salons

You’re halfway through a haircut. Someone calls to book. With your calendar connected, the appointment goes straight in and the haircut keeps going.

No putting a customer on pause.

Dental practices

Your reception team is checking in patients and answering calls. Give them backup for routine questions and appointment enquiries when the desk gets busy.

Support for reception, not a replacement.

Small medical offices

A small team can only be in so many conversations at once. Let the assistant handle hours, directions, and routine callback requests, with clinical questions passed to staff.

More room for patients who need your team.

Also for spas, fitness studios, professional offices, and other teams that spend their day helping people. For healthcare, we review privacy, software, and call-handling requirements before setup.

A helping hand. On your terms.

Your business.
Your rules.

Already have someone on reception? Give them backup. Working on your own? Get help with the calls that interrupt your day. You choose what it handles and when your team steps in.

  • Your services, hours, and booking availability.
  • Clear boundaries on pricing and promises.
  • A handoff when a caller needs your team.
Which calls should we handle?

Choose what fits. We’ll include it in your setup request.

Your team gets the first chance to answer. The AI picks up when the line is busy or nobody answers, where your phone provider supports it.

This only updates your enquiry. It doesn’t change your phone settings.

A clear quote. No guesswork.

The right setup.
A price you approve.

A shop with a few calls and a busy practice need different setups. Your quote reflects the calls you actually need help with.

Good questions.
Straight answers.

Something else on your mind?

Ask JM directly
Can I keep my current business number?

Usually, yes. If your phone provider supports call forwarding, we can send busy, unanswered, or after-hours calls to the receptionist. We check your setup first, so you know what will work before you commit.

Can it book directly into my calendar?

Yes. With a compatible calendar integration, it checks available times and books meetings or appointments during the call. You choose the hours, appointment types, and gaps between bookings. We can connect Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook, or review your existing booking system.

Can it help without replacing my receptionist?

Absolutely. Start with overflow calls, lunch breaks, or after-hours enquiries. Your team stays in charge and can spend more time with the people at the counter or front desk.

Will callers know it’s AI?

Yes. It introduces itself as your business’s AI assistant. We work with you on the greeting and answers, and agree when a call should go to a person.

What does it cost?

You get a written quote based on your call volume, phone setup, calendars, and support needs. It separates one-time setup, monthly service, included usage, and any extra-minute or transfer charges. There’s no fee to request a quote, and no paid work starts without your approval.

Does this work for dental and medical offices?

We start with administrative calls, such as opening hours, routine appointment enquiries, and callback requests. We review your practice software, privacy requirements, and handoff rules before setup. Clinical advice and emergencies stay with qualified staff and emergency services.

Can it check stock or use my booking software?

It can answer from the business information you approve. Live stock levels, order status, and specialist booking systems need a compatible integration. We check what your tools support and include any extra work in your quote.

Can it call someone on my team?

Yes. When someone asks for a person, or a request needs your team, it can call an approved staff number or extension. If nobody answers, the fallback is to offer a callback and take a message. This needs a compatible phone setup, a staff destination that does not forward straight back to the AI, and testing before launch. After-hours transfers follow your on-call rules.

What happens when it isn’t sure?

We configure it to ask rather than guess, and to call your team when a person is needed. Bookings should only be confirmed after the calendar accepts them. We test these boundaries with you before launch.

The person in front of you matters.

Give them your full attention.
