The Real Cost of Missed Calls

Every unanswered call is a lost customer

Staff can't be available 24/7. Voicemails go ignored. Competitors who pick up get the booking.

69% hang up at voicemail

In call data from 10,000 UK firms, 69% of callers who reached voicemail rang off without leaving a message. Most simply ring the next firm. Source: Moneypenny · More missed call statistics

Hours wasted on routine calls

Appointment confirmations, opening hours, pricing enquiries — repetitive tasks that drain your team every single day.

One missed job costs hundreds

A plumbing call-out is typically £120–£250, and a boiler installation £1,500 or more. An unanswered call is a job that goes to whoever picks up. Typical prices: Whito

Why My AI Voice Agent

Not a chatbot. Not a menu. A real conversation.

Human-quality voice

A natural British voice, with natural cadence and correct pauses. It says it's a virtual assistant at the start of every call, and passes callers to a person in your opening hours or takes a message out of hours.

Fully custom-built

Every agent is built from scratch for your business — trained on your services, scenarios, and terminology. Not a generic template you configure yourself.

Done-for-you delivery

We write the script, build the agent, test every scenario, and go live — in 1 to 5 working days, depending on features. You approve and it's done. Zero technical involvement required.

Try it yourself

Now hear it answer as your business

Type your business name, press the button and play one of your own customers. Runs in your browser, takes about a minute. Or ring the demo line and do the same by phone.

Missed them at the top?

Hear it handle three situations, start to finish

Watch who’s speaking, read along, and jump straight to the moments that matter: the correction, the interruption, the awkward question.

Illustrative conversations with a made-up business. Both voices are generated: the assistant’s is the voice that answers real calls; the caller is a second AI voice. No real customer or recording.

FAQ

Common questions

What is an AI receptionist?
An AI receptionist is a virtual assistant that answers your business phone in a natural British voice, 24/7, and books appointments, answers common questions, takes messages and passes urgent calls straight to you. Ours is built, tested and run for you, from £200 a month (prices checked October 2026).
Will it sound robotic or artificial?
No. It speaks in a natural British voice. The agent introduces itself as a virtual assistant at the start of every call. When a caller asks for a person, it transfers the call during your opening hours, or takes a message and alerts your team out of hours. You hear a test call before it goes live.
What if the agent can't answer a question?
The agent is trained to gracefully offer a callback or transfer to a real person if the enquiry falls outside its scope. No caller is ever left confused or abandoned.
Do I need any technical knowledge?
None whatsoever. We handle everything from script to go-live. You approve the agent and take the calls — that's it.
Can I keep my existing phone number?
Yes. We provide a dedicated line you can either promote directly or forward your existing number to. Number porting is also available.
What's the contract length?
Month-to-month with 30 days' notice to cancel.
