What it does

What your AI agent can do on a call

Think of a receptionist who never takes a break, knows your rules by heart and can reach into your tools while the caller is still talking.

“Hi, this is Sophie, the clinic’s virtual assistant.”A greeting that tells callers, up front, they are talking to an AI

Answer every call, any hour

Evenings, weekends, lunch breaks and the Monday morning rush. Callers get an answer instead of voicemail.

Book and manage appointments

Check free times, book, move or cancel, following your own booking rules. How booking works.

Look up and update your data

Find a customer by phone number, read an order status, check a listing, or update a record while the caller is still on the line.

Capture leads and messages

Take the name, number and reason for the call, then write it into HubSpot, Airtable, a Google Sheet or your own database.

Transfer to the right person

“Can I talk to billing?” goes to whoever you chose for billing. You decide who the agent may transfer to, and when.

Send you the transcript

After each call the full conversation lands in your inbox, so nothing gets lost between the agent and your team.

Where it fits

Put the agent exactly where you need it

The agent lives inside your phone system, so it can sit anywhere in the call path. Pick the setup that matches how your business works today.

First to answer

Your number goes straight to the agent. It handles most calls and transfers the rest. Ideal for busy front desks.

Behind a menu option

“Press 1 to book an appointment.” The IVR sends that option to the agent and everything else to your team.

When your team is busy

Make the agent the “no answer” destination of a ring group or queue. It only picks up the calls your team misses.

FAQ

AI phone agent questions

Still unsure about something? Ask us directly

Do callers know they are talking to an AI?

That is your choice, but we recommend saying so in the greeting, for example “Hi, this is Sophie, the clinic’s virtual assistant”. People are fine talking to an AI when it is upfront and actually solves their problem. In some countries telling callers is also a legal requirement.

What does the agent do when it does not know the answer?

Whatever your instructions say. Most businesses tell it to take a message, transfer the caller to a person, or promise a call back. The agent only uses facts from your instructions and from the tools you connected, and you can read every conversation afterwards to fine-tune it.

Can I use the AI only when my team is busy?

Yes. Put your team in a ring group or a queue and choose the AI agent as the “if no one answers” destination. The agent then only picks up the calls your people miss.

Which languages and voices are available?

The agent speaks English and you can pick from seven natural voices, four feminine and three masculine, each with its own tone. You can listen to every voice before choosing.

How long does it take to set up?

With a template, most people have a working agent in under an hour. Writing good instructions for your business is the part worth spending time on, and the instruction assistant helps with that.

Can it make mistakes?

Like any AI, yes, occasionally. That is why every call is saved with the transcript, the recording and each action the agent took, and why each tool only gets the permissions you allow. Start with read-only tools if you prefer, and open up booking or editing once you trust the setup.

Do I need a phone number from AutoVator?

The agent answers calls that reach your AutoVator account, so you need at least one number with us. You can buy one in a few minutes, or keep your existing number and forward it to your AutoVator number.
