The AI receptionist for small business.Every call answered, booked, and routed without hiring a front desk.

The math nobody writes down

A missed call is a job your competitor booked.

Nobody hires an AI phone assistant because they want more software. They hire it to answer the phone, book the job, and not embarrass them — especially at the moments a small team physically cannot pick up.

Your day ends. Your phone does not.

The 7am no-heat call and the 9pm quote request both land when nobody is at the desk. Callers who reach voicemail rarely leave a message — they call the next name on the list.

You are on the job, not on the phone.

When you are under a sink or up a ladder, the phone rings twice and gives up. That was a paying customer, and you never even knew they called.

Busy hours bury the front desk.

One person can answer one call at a time. Everyone else waits on hold or hangs up — and the ones who hang up are the jobs you never get to quote.

If after-hours and overflow coverage is the whole job, see the AI answering service — same agent, framed around the calls you are missing today.

How it works

Your AI phone assistant, live in three steps.

No scripting, no drag-and-drop wiring, no developers. You describe; it drafts; you publish.

  1. 01

    Describe your business

    Tell it what you do in plain English — or paste your website. Your AI receptionist drafts itself: greeting, goals, guardrails, and starter Skills.

  2. 02

    Shape it by asking

    Change anything in plain English — "add Spanish," "never quote prices," "warm-transfer true emergencies" — and review exactly what it will and will not say before it ever takes a call.

  3. 03

    Go live on your line

    Connect Google Calendar, publish a versioned agent, and it starts answering. Every publish is a version you can roll back anytime.

What it handles

An AI virtual receptionist that earns its keep.

One AI voice agent for small business phone lines and website chat — the same agent, the same answers, on both channels.

Answers 24/7

Your AI receptionist picks up around the clock — which means the after-hours emergency and the lunch-rush overflow both reach a business that answers, not a voicemail box.

Callers can say it or press it

Callers speak naturally or use the keypad — "say or enter your order number" — which means the people who hate talking to machines still get exactly where they need to go.

Warm transfers with context

When a call needs a human, it hands over a summary of who is calling and why — which means your tech picks up already knowing the name, address, and problem.

Speaks 30+ languages

One agent serves callers in more than 30 languages — which means the customer who is more comfortable in Spanish gets helped, not lost.

Books straight onto your calendar

It checks availability and books the job on your Google Calendar — which means a ringing phone turns into a scheduled appointment while the caller is still on the line.

Built for trades and front desks

Pay for minutes, not a salary.

$0.11/min pay as you go. Phone numbers $2/mo, transferred minutes $0.03/min. 1 credit = $0.01. Free credits. No credit card. Zero balance pauses — never bills.

FAQ

Questions small business owners actually ask.

What is an AI receptionist?
An AI receptionist is software that answers your business phone with a conversational AI agent instead of voicemail or a phone tree. It greets callers, answers questions about your business, books appointments, and transfers the calls that need a person — 24 hours a day, priced per minute of use rather than as a salary.
How does an AI receptionist work?
You describe your business in plain English and the AI drafts your receptionist — greeting, goals, guardrails, and starter Skills. When the phone rings, the agent answers, holds a natural conversation, books appointments on your Google Calendar, and warm-transfers callers who need a person. Every conversation lands on the record for you to review.
How much does an AI receptionist cost?
Pay as you go from $0.11 per minute of conversation — a typical 3-minute call runs about $0.33. Phone numbers are $2 per month, transferred minutes are $0.03 per minute, and 1 credit = $0.01. You start with free credits and no credit card required, so you can hear it on your own line before you spend anything.
Is an AI receptionist worth it?
That depends on what a missed call costs you. At $0.11 per minute, a typical 3-minute call runs about $0.33 — so if one answered after-hours call a month turns into a booked job, the agent has usually covered its cost. Free credits and no credit card required mean you can measure it against your own phone line first.
Is there a free AI receptionist?
Flowyte starts free: signup includes free credits and requires no credit card, so your AI receptionist can answer real calls before you spend anything. After that it is pay as you go at $0.11 per minute of conversation — no required monthly subscription, and a zero balance pauses the agent rather than billing you.
Will an AI receptionist sound robotic?
Do not take our word for it — call one of our live demo lines on this page and judge for yourself. The agent holds a natural conversation, and callers who prefer the keypad can press keys instead of speaking at any point.
What if it says something wrong to a customer?
You set guardrails the agent cannot cross — rules like "never quote an exact repair price" stay enforced on every call. Before you publish, a report shows exactly what your agent will and will not say, and anything outside its lane gets warm-transferred to a person instead of guessed at.
How hard is it to set up?
You describe your business in plain English — or paste your website — and the AI drafts your receptionist: greeting, goals, guardrails, and starter Skills. You shape it by asking for changes in plain English, then publish. Every publish is a version you can roll back.
Can I keep my existing business phone number?
Yes. Point your current line at your Flowyte agent — most businesses simply forward their existing number, so callers keep dialing the number they already know. You can also add a dedicated Flowyte number for $2 per month and use it for after-hours or overflow only. Nothing about your number has to change to start.
Does it handle callers in other languages?
Yes. One agent speaks more than 30 languages, so a small business with one phone line can serve every caller without hiring for each language.
Can it hand a call to a real person?
Yes — that is the point of warm transfer. You decide which calls go to a human, and when the agent transfers, your team member gets the context first: who is calling, from where, and what they need. The caller never repeats themselves.
What happens to my callers’ information?
Your agent collects only what you configure it to collect, and every Skill shows exactly what data it sends and where before you enable it — information leaves the agent only through Skills you approved. Conversations stay on the record for you to review, and guardrails control what the agent is allowed to say and do.
