AI receptionist

The AI receptionist that books for you.

Vantra is the AI receptionist that answers every phone call, replies to every WhatsApp, recovers every missed call, and books appointments straight into your calendar or field service software. Live in under two weeks.

Short answer

An AI receptionist is an always-on agent that answers calls, replies to messages, qualifies enquiries and books appointments — without a human picking up the phone. Vantra does this across phone, WhatsApp and email for clinics and service businesses.

What it does

Built for the work your team can't scale.

Answers in under 2 seconds

No queues, no ring-outs, no voicemail. Every call is picked up instantly in your brand voice, 24/7.

Replies on WhatsApp in seconds

Connects to your WhatsApp Business number and qualifies new enquiries with on-brand replies.

Recovers missed calls

Every missed call triggers an immediate AI follow-up via WhatsApp or SMS — before the lead calls a competitor.

Books into your calendar or FSM

Native integrations with Cliniko, Jane, ServiceTitan, Commusoft, simPRO and more. No middleware.

Enforces your triage rules

Urgency tiers, postcode coverage, call-out fees, clinical-vs-admin escalation — all encoded into every conversation.

Escalates the right things

Anything clinical, contractual or complex is handed off cleanly to a named human with full context.

How it works

From audit to live.

Step 01

Audit

We listen to a week of your calls, read your enquiry inbox and map every rule your front desk follows today.

Step 02

Build

Your agent is assembled and trained on your pricing, brand voice and triage rules. Integrations are wired up.

Step 03

Dual-run

The agent runs alongside your existing team on live traffic. You approve every edge case before it goes autonomous.

Step 04

Launch

We flip the switch. Weekly reviews, ongoing tuning, and a dedicated pod focused on your booking rate.

Frequently asked

Common questions about ai receptionist

What does an AI receptionist actually do?

It picks up the phone, replies on WhatsApp and email, qualifies the enquiry, checks availability and books the appointment — all in your brand voice, without a human picking up. Anything sensitive is escalated to your team.

Is Vantra better than a virtual receptionist service?

Virtual receptionists are humans on a queue. Vantra is an AI agent that answers in under 2 seconds, every time, in every channel — and costs a fraction of staffing a 24/7 front desk.

Will an AI receptionist sound robotic?

Vantra uses modern neural voice models tuned to your brand voice. Most callers can't tell they're speaking to an AI, and we set clear disclosure rules where required.

How long does deployment take?

Most businesses go from kickoff to live in under two weeks. We dual-run the agent against your existing team before going autonomous, so there's no big-bang switch.

What does an AI receptionist cost?

Pricing is per deployment and depends on call/message volume, integrations, and uptime requirements. Book a discovery call for a quote.
