Questions

How do AI receptionists work?

The phone line greets the caller and turns what they say into text. On Conecto each of those turns goes to your agent, which answers, and the line reads the answer aloud. When the call ends, your agent gets the whole transcript and a short summary.

What does an AI receptionist cost?

On Conecto a number costs $2.00 to $25.00 a month, quoted per number before you rent it, and an answered call costs $0.25 a started minute. A call nobody answered costs nothing, and there is no plan or seat fee.

What is the difference between an AI receptionist and a virtual receptionist?

A virtual receptionist is a person who answers from somewhere else. An AI receptionist is software that can answer several calls at once, in the hours you choose. Conecto's line is the AI kind, and its greeting says so.

Can the receptionist book appointments?

Yes. Once your calendar is set up, callers can book, move or cancel a meeting on the call, and they get a confirmation call before it unless they decline.

Who hosts it?

Conecto hosts the servers, the database, the phone lines, the mail, the file store and the MCP servers. Your agent only needs the address.
