The problem

Every missed call is lost revenue

Voicemail is a customer's exit door. Here's what unanswered calls cost small businesses — and why an AI answering service pays for itself.

What it is

What is an AI receptionist?

An AI receptionist is software that answers your business phone, understands the caller in natural language, and takes action — booking appointments, answering questions, capturing leads, or transferring to a person. Laviano AI does this 24/7 on your existing number, with first-ring pickup.

Unlike voicemail or a traditional answering service, it speaks in your greeting, reads live calendar availability, and logs a transcript of every call. There is nothing to install: forward your line and it starts answering. See how setup works or compare AI receptionist pricing.

Capabilities

An AI receptionist built to handle every call

One virtual receptionist. Endless capacity. Every workflow your business already runs on — answered, booked, and logged before you look at your phone.

Always on. 24/7 first-ring pickup.

Nights, weekends, holidays. Unlimited concurrent calls, so a rush hour never sends a customer to voicemail — every ring is answered in under a second.

Sounds fully human.

Natural pacing, back-and-forth, and interruptions handled — with your greeting and your tone.

Books appointments — right into your calendar.

Reads live availability, offers real slots, and writes the booking straight to your calendar — then texts the confirmation before the caller hangs up.

Google Calendar Outlook Calendly Jobber ServiceTitan

Who it's for

AI receptionist for the businesses that live on the phone

If a missed ring is a missed job, this is built for you. Same first-ring pickup — trained on your hours, pricing, and booking rules.

HVAC

After-hours no-heat and no-cool calls get answered, triaged, and booked — so emergency jobs don't sit in voicemail overnight.

Salons & spas

Books cuts, color, and treatments into your calendar, answers pricing and availability, and stops no-shows with a confirmation text.

Home services

Roofing, plumbing, electrical, and contractors capture the job, the address, and a real appointment before the caller hangs up.

Law offices

Intake after hours without a missed consult. Collects name, matter type, and urgency, then routes hot leads to the right attorney.

Vet clinics

Answers vaccine, boarding, and sick-pet questions, books exam slots, and escalates emergencies to your on-call line.

Auto shops

Schedules drop-offs, quotes wait times, and logs year/make/model so the bay is ready when the car arrives.

Real estate

Qualifies buyer and seller calls, books showings around your calendar, and texts you the lead before they call the next listing.

Medical offices

Handles new-patient and refill calls, books into your schedule, and transfers clinical questions to staff so nothing sits in voicemail.

Boutique studios

Fitness, yoga, and creative studios fill classes after hours and keep a waitlist moving without a front-desk hire.

Restaurants

Takes reservations, answers hours and catering questions, and keeps the line free during the dinner rush.

Integrations

Plugs into the calendars, CRMs, and phone systems you already use

Website Design

Small business website design that ranks and converts

Most small-business sites look fine and sell nothing. We design yours around a single job — getting the customer to call, book, or message you — then build it fast, mobile-first, and easy to find. We can also deploy a live AI chat agent on the site that greets visitors, answers their questions, and books them in — so the conversation starts the moment they land.

Designed from scratch
We write the copy, place the photos, and wire up booking
Built to load in under a second and rank in local search
Hosting, edits, and a real person to call after launch
Optional AI chat agent that captures leads live

FAQ

AI receptionist FAQ

Everything you need to know before your discovery call. Something else? Get in touch.

What is an AI receptionist?
An AI receptionist is software that answers your business phone, understands the caller in natural language, and takes action — booking appointments, answering questions, capturing leads, or transferring to a person. Laviano AI does this 24/7 on your existing number, with first-ring pickup.
Will callers know it's AI?
Most don't. It speaks naturally, handles interruptions, and uses your greeting — and it always transfers to a human when asked. We're happy to disclose it, too, if that's your preference; it's a one-line change.
Do I need new hardware or a new phone number?
No. You keep your existing number and simply forward your line to us. There's nothing for your staff to learn, install, or maintain.
How much does an AI receptionist cost?
Laviano AI receptionist plans start at $500/month for Frontline (750 minutes included) and $999/month for Flagship. Overage is $0.70 per minute. There is no long contract — cancel anytime. Traditional answering services often run $1,500–$3,000+ per month.
What's the difference between an AI receptionist and an answering service?
A traditional answering service takes messages. An AI receptionist answers in your voice, books real calendar slots, handles unlimited simultaneous calls, and logs a transcript. Laviano AI is typically less expensive than staffing or a live answering service, and it never puts callers on hold.
Can an AI receptionist book appointments?
Yes. Laviano AI reads live availability in Google Calendar, Outlook, Calendly, Jobber, and ServiceTitan, offers real times, writes the booking, and texts a confirmation before the caller hangs up.
Does it work after hours and on weekends?
Yes. The AI receptionist answers nights, weekends, and holidays with the same first-ring pickup as business hours. Unlimited concurrent calls means a Saturday rush does not roll to voicemail.
What types of businesses use an AI receptionist?
Home services and HVAC, salons and spas, law offices, vet clinics, auto shops, real estate teams, medical offices, boutique studios, and restaurants. If missed calls cost you jobs, it is a fit.
What if it can't answer something?
It takes a message with full context or transfers live — based on rules you set during the build. You'll never miss a lead, and no one gets stuck on a bad answer.
How fast can we start?
Discovery this week, live within two. We move as fast as you do, and you review everything before it takes a single real call.
What happens if you make changes to my calls?
You review every script and flow change before it goes live. We give you a shared dashboard for edits, and dedicated Flagship customers get white-glove tuning as part of their plan.
Is my data safe?
Yes. Calls are encrypted in transit and at rest, and we're SOC 2 aligned. You own your data — we never train third-party models on your calls.
