HOW IT WORKS

AI and humans, working together seamlessly

Olivia handles the first touch. Julie steps in when it matters. Your callers get the best of both — speed and warmth — without ever noticing the handoff.

How the handoff actually works

Most AI phone systems force callers into frustrating loops. Ours works differently — Olivia and Julie are a team, and the transition between them is designed to be invisible.

1

Olivia picks up instantly

Your caller hears a friendly greeting on the first ring. Olivia introduces herself, confirms who's calling, and asks how she can help — just like any good receptionist would.

2

She handles what she can

About 60% of calls are things Olivia can resolve on her own: answering FAQs, booking appointments, taking messages, or collecting lead info. Fast, accurate, no hold time.

3

She recognizes when a human is needed

Some calls need empathy, nuance, or a judgment call. Olivia picks up on those signals — a frustrated tone, a complex question, or a caller who simply says "I'd like to talk to a person."

4

Julie gets the full picture

Before Julie even says hello, she sees everything: the caller's name, what they need, and what Olivia already covered. No awkward "can you start from the beginning?"

5

The caller never skips a beat

Julie picks up the conversation right where Olivia left off. To the caller, it feels like one smooth, helpful call — because that's exactly what it is.

THE DIFFERENCE

Why callers never notice

We hear it all the time: "I didn't even realize I was talking to AI at first." That's by design. Here's what makes the experience feel natural.

No repeating themselves

Julie already knows who's calling and why. The caller just keeps talking naturally.

No awkward transfers

There's no "please hold while I transfer you" silence. The handoff happens in seconds with a warm intro.

No robotic dead-ends

Unlike most AI phone systems, Olivia doesn't trap callers in menu loops. She has a real conversation and knows when to step aside.

No dropped context

Everything Olivia learned — name, issue, urgency — travels with the call. Julie sees it all on her screen instantly.

No long hold times

Olivia resolves most calls herself, so Julie is free to give complex calls her full attention without a queue building up.

No "press 1 for..." menus

Callers talk to Olivia like a real person from the start. She figures out what they need through conversation, not button presses.

The best of both worlds

We know what you're thinking: "Sounds nice, but can AI really handle my calls?" Here's the honest answer — it handles about 60% of them. The other 40% go to a real, trained receptionist. Together, they cover everything.
