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. 01 **Brief it once** — Add what you sell, your prices, hours and preferred tone in plain English.
2. 02 **Control call forwarding** — Forward unanswered calls to your AI line and stop forwarding whenever you choose.
3. 03 **Follow up with context** — Callers get answers and your team receives the transcript and lead details.

## Less than one missed sale.

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.
