Common Questions

Frequently asked questions.

What if Alice doesn't know the answer?

If Alice encounters a question she hasn't been trained on, she politely lets the caller know she'll pass the message to you for a follow-up. She collects their contact details and specific question so you can respond prepared.

Can I keep my current phone number?

Yes! You don't need to change your business number. You simply forward your calls to your dedicated Alice number whenever you want her to answer—whether that's 24/7, after hours, or just when you're busy.

Can Alice handle multiple calls at once?

Absolutely. Alice has infinite capacity and can answer any number of calls simultaneously. Your customers will never hear a busy signal or be put on hold again.

How long does setup take?

It's incredibly fast. We can scan your website to train Alice on your business details in minutes. You just confirm the information, set your preferences, and you're ready to go.

Does Alice sound like a robot?

Not at all. Alice uses advanced AI voice technology to sound natural, professional, and friendly. Most callers don't even realize they're speaking to an AI.

How much does Alice cost?

Alice starts at $49/month with unlimited minutes. Compare that to hiring a receptionist ($35,000+/year) or traditional answering services ($200-500/month with per-minute fees).
