What is an AI receptionist?
An AI receptionist is a phone answering system powered by conversational AI that picks up your business line, talks to callers like a trained front-desk person, and takes real action: qualifying the request, capturing the name, address and callback number, booking an appointment, and sending an SMS confirmation. Unlike voicemail or a basic phone tree, callers get an actual conversation — and you get a booked job instead of a message to chase.
Wotel is built specifically for home-service businesses: plumbing, HVAC, septic, roofing, electrical, and more. It knows the intake questions for your trade, detects emergencies, transfers urgent calls to a human when you want, and follows up on quotes and invoices automatically.

FAQ
Answers before you ask
How is an AI receptionist different from an answering service?
A traditional answering service pays humans to take messages you still have to return. An AI receptionist answers instantly, qualifies the caller, and books the job on the spot — 24/7, for a fraction of the cost, with no hold time and unlimited simultaneous calls.
Will callers know they're talking to an AI?
Wotel sounds natural, listens, handles interruptions, and keeps the conversation flowing like a real receptionist. It never claims to be human, and stays warm and brief if anyone asks.
Can the AI receptionist book appointments?
Yes — that's the point. It qualifies the job, captures the address, books a time window, syncs it to your Google or Outlook calendar, and texts the customer a confirmation.
How long does setup take?
About 10 minutes: answer a few questions about your business, get or forward a phone number, and your AI receptionist starts answering.
Can I keep my phone number?
Yes. Forward your existing business line to Wotel in minutes, or port it over fully — we walk you through it during onboarding.
Does it transfer urgent calls to a human?
You set the rules. Wotel detects emergencies and can transfer the caller straight to you or your on-call tech, while still capturing the address and details first.
