No signup. No video. A real working AI conversation - like the one your customer will have.

What to look for

  • Speed-to-answer under 2 seconds (most services run 15-60 seconds).
  • Books appointments - not just transcribes them.
  • No per-call billing - flat rate makes monthly cost predictable.
  • Works 24/7/365 at the same price, no after-hours markup.
  • Either AI-first (cheaper) or human-first (premium) - but be honest about the trade-off.
