How it works
You keep your number. It picks up the calls you miss.
Nothing to install. You turn on call forwarding once, and every call you can't answer goes to your AI receptionist.
It answers like your front desk
It greets callers with your business name, says the call is recorded, takes their name, phone number and what they need (and the address, if you go to them), and books the appointment in your CRM calendar.
You get the report
When the call ends you get an email and a CRM alert: who called, what they wanted (summarized by AI), whether an appointment was booked, how long it lasted, and the recording with its transcript.
What it does
Every call answered, every customer written down.
It works for you at night, on weekends and while you're busy with a customer, and everything ends up in your CRM.
24/7
Answers in English or Spanish
It talks to each caller in their language, using your business name, at any hour.
CRM calendar
Books appointments
It checks your calendar and books the visit or appointment, so the job is already on your schedule.
After every call
Summary, recording and transcript

Does it work for my type of business?

Is it pay-per-use? What if I go over the included minutes?
No, it's a fixed monthly fee of $149 USD that includes 500 minutes. Only minutes beyond those 500 are billed, at $0.15 USD each.
Can I keep my current business phone number?
Yes. Your customers keep calling your usual number. You turn on conditional call forwarding ("forward when I don't answer or I'm busy") from your phone carrier to the number Autorys gives you, which is included.
How do I set it up?
Sign up online in the Autorys panel, where you get your receptionist's number. Then turn on conditional forwarding with your carrier's code: on many U.S. carriers it's *72 or *71, but each carrier has its own, and your panel shows the steps. From then on, the calls you don't answer go to the AI receptionist.
Does the AI receptionist speak Spanish?
Yes. It answers in English and in Spanish, so Spanish-speaking customers can talk to it in their own language.
What happens if a caller reports a gas leak or another emergency?
If someone reports a gas smell or another dangerous emergency, the receptionist tells them to hang up and dial 911 right away.
What do I receive after each call?
An email and an alert in your CRM with who called, what they wanted (a summary written by AI), whether an appointment was booked, how long the call lasted, and the recording with its transcript. You can see all your calls in your CRM.
Does it tell callers that the call is recorded?
Yes. At the start of every call it lets the caller know the call is being recorded.
Can it transfer a call to me?
Yes. It can transfer the call to up to 3 people at your business, announcing the caller first, during the hours you choose. If nobody answers, it takes a message and books the appointment. If someone reports a gas smell, a fire or an injury, it never transfers: it tells the caller to hang up and dial 911.
AI receptionist vs. voicemail vs. a human answering service: which is better?
Voicemail costs nothing, but many callers hang up and call another business. A human answering service sounds personal, but it usually costs more and is often billed per minute or per call. An AI receptionist answers every call 24/7, books appointments and sends you a summary of each call; the Autorys one costs a fixed $149 USD per month with 500 minutes included. And when you want, it transfers the call to you live, announcing the caller first.
Is it available outside the United States?
Any type of business can use it, but for now it's available for businesses in the United States. Mexico is coming soon.
Can I try it before I sign up?
Yes. Call +1 332 241 7428 and talk to it yourself to hear how it answers. When you're ready, you sign up online in the Autorys panel.
