How fast can the AI Receptionist go live?

We provision your dedicated business number and configure the AI on your business within 24 hours of signup. You'll get a test call link before we point your forwarding.

Does it actually book appointments?

Yes. It connects to Calendly (Google Calendar and Outlook are on the roadmap) and books, confirms, reschedules, or cancels in real time during the call.

Can it take payments over the phone?

It generates a Stripe payment link and texts it to the caller mid-call. The customer pays securely on their phone — card details are never spoken or stored.

What happens if the AI can't answer?

It transfers to a human, takes a message, or texts your team based on your handoff rules. Emergency keywords and upset callers route to you immediately.

$500/month standalone, $300/month as an add-on if you already have our AI SMS Text Agent, or $600/month for the SMS + Receptionist bundle. No setup fee. Cancel anytime.

What is the best AI receptionist for small businesses?

The best AI receptionist for a small business is one that's actually managed for you — not a DIY platform you have to script and maintain. BRH.AI builds and operates the agent end-to-end: live appointment booking through Calendly, Stripe payment links texted mid-call, human-handoff rules, and a post-call summary emailed to your team. Most small businesses are live within 24 hours and pay $300–$600/month with no setup fee.

How much does an AI receptionist cost?

Our AI receptionist is $500/month standalone, $300/month as an add-on to the AI SMS Text Agent, or $600/month for both bundled. There is no setup fee and no per-minute charge. By comparison, a part-time human receptionist typically costs $2,500–$4,000/month — and only covers business hours.

What's the difference between an AI receptionist and a virtual receptionist?

A virtual receptionist is a remote human answering your calls during set hours. An AI receptionist answers every call instantly, 24/7, in any language, books appointments and takes payments without a transfer, and never calls in sick. You still get human handoff when it matters — emergencies, upset callers, or anything the AI shouldn't handle.

Can an AI receptionist book appointments and take payments?

Yes. Ours connects to Calendly and books, reschedules, or cancels live during the call. For payments, it generates a Stripe payment link mid-call and texts it to the caller — card details are never spoken or stored, so you stay PCI-friendly by default.
