An AI answering service that answers.

What it handles

What phone answering includes

  • Answers phone calls

    Forward calls you cannot take and the AI answers them around the clock.

  • Answers from your information

    It uses your business brief to answer routine questions instead of only taking a message.

  • Lead details captured

    It collects contact details and preferred timing for your team to confirm.

  • A useful record of every call

    Every call the AI answers lands in the inbox with a transcript and the details your team needs to follow up.

  • Incoming SMS on one line

    The same local number can receive SMS once carrier verification is complete.

How it works

Brief it once. It answers from then on.

  1. Brief it once

    Add what you sell, your prices, hours and preferred tone in plain English.

  2. Control call forwarding

    Forward unanswered calls to your AI line and stop forwarding whenever you choose.

  3. Follow up with context

    Callers get answers and your team receives the transcript and lead details.

Questions

The things everyone asks.

Anything else, send the demo inbox a test enquiry. Its email draft waits for human review.

Does it sound like a robot?

The public phone demo is temporarily offline. AI-answered calls identify the assistant as AI at the start. You can send a test email now; the AI prepares a draft for human approval rather than replying automatically.

How is phone answering priced?

Front Desk is $49/mo and includes up to 100 total minutes across inbound and outbound InboxTender calls each month. New calls pause when the allowance is used; there are no per-minute overage charges.

What happens after a call?

Every call the AI answers is saved as a transcript in the inbox. The assistant collects lead details and preferred timing so your team has context for a personal follow-up.
