Which AI answers your calls
An AI model is the brain that understands your callers and decides what to say. Most businesses only need Standard.

Questions
What happens if I use all my minutes?
Your calls keep being answered. We email you at 80% of your minutes. If you use them all, we add a pack of 500 extra minutes for $79 for that month. Tell us beforehand if you would rather the line stop at the limit.
What counts as a minute?
Only the time the AI is on the phone with a caller. Time when no one is calling costs nothing.
What's the difference between ChatGPT and Claude?
They are two of the best-known AI models, made by different companies. We set up the right one for you, and we may move you to a newer one of equal or better quality at no extra cost.
Do I need a Bookfront website?
No, you can get the AI receptionist on its own. With a Bookfront website, the AI monthly fee is 10% lower.
Can I keep my current phone number?
Yes. Forward your number to the AI line whenever you want it to answer, or use the new number we give you.
Is there a contract?
No. Cancel anytime. Your first month after going live is free, and your first paid month is refunded if you ask within 30 days of that payment. One-time setup fees are not refunded once work has started.
What if it can't help a caller?
It says so, takes a message and sends it to you right away.
