How the machine works
What an AI phone line can and can't do
An AI phone line answers every call, day and night, from a short list of approved facts.
It can:
- Answer common questions: hours, services, availability, directions to your website.
- Take a message and send it to your inbox right away.
- Book or offer a time, then text the caller the details.
- Hand anything sensitive straight to you.
It should not:
- Quote prices it has not been given, negotiate, or agree to terms.
- Give legal, medical, tax or financial advice.
- Pretend to be a person if someone asks.
Start with your top ten questions and a clear "a human will call you back" path. Read the call log weekly and add the missing answers.
