AI receptionist: reviews, statistics and news
Services that answer a business's main phone line with AI: greet the caller, answer questions, take messages, book appointments and transfer to a person. Tools that also run check-ins, reminders, texts and web chat are under AI front desk, services built around missed and after-hours calls under AI answering service, and business phone apps and self-serve phone agents for a solo operator's own number under AI phone assistant. Each one will take the same set of scripted calls and be tested on answer accuracy, voice quality, booking, transfers, setup and what it costs.
Every AI receptionist I follow
Every AI receptionist I follow, in alphabetical order. None has been through my bench yet: each one is queued for the nine tests, and the first reviews appear here as they are finished. The statistics measure 15 of them each month. 27 more listed tools are not measured here: 14 are measured in the category of their main product and 13 sit on shared domains whose traffic is not their own. Each of those is marked on its card.
