The AI Receptionist: Never Miss a Business Call Again

Missed calls cost Irish businesses thousands every year. Learn how an AI voice agent can answer your phone 24/7, take messages, and book appointments automatically.


The AI Receptionist: Never Miss a Business Call Again

For many Irish businesses — plumbers, electricians, solicitors, dentists, consultants — the phone is still the primary way customers get in touch. But what happens when you’re on a job, in a meeting, or it’s after 6pm?

The call goes to voicemail. And most people don’t leave voicemails anymore.

The Cost of Missed Calls

Let’s do some simple maths. If your average job or appointment is worth €200, and you miss just 3 calls per week that would have converted:

  • That’s €600 per week in lost revenue
  • €2,400 per month
  • €28,800 per year

For many businesses, the real numbers are even higher.

How an AI Receptionist Works

An AI Receptionist is a voice agent that answers your phone when you can’t. But it’s not a basic automated menu — it’s a conversational AI that can:

  • Greet callers naturally and professionally
  • Answer common questions about your services, hours, and pricing
  • Take detailed messages and send them to you instantly via text or email
  • Book appointments directly into your calendar
  • Qualify leads by asking the right questions

The caller gets a helpful, professional experience — and you don’t miss a single opportunity.

  • Legal firms where calls during consultations get missed
  • Consultants and coaches who are in back-to-back sessions
