Does an AI receptionist really work? Check it yourself.

Talk to it in a minute

Paste your website below. In under a minute your receptionist is built from your own pages and you can call it in your browser, before you give us an email address.

Read every rule it follows

Nothing is hidden. In your dashboard every rule is written in plain English, and you can change any of them and hear the difference on the next call.

Watch the message land

Ring your own number after it's live. Seconds after you hang up, the summary, the caller's details and the full transcript are in your inbox, and the message is texted to your mobile.

A phone showing the receptionist ringing back after the line dropped

Try this on the demo call

Hang up on it. It rings you back.

Lose signal mid-call, or hang up by accident, and it rings you straight back and carries on where it was. No answer? It leaves a short message. Humans forget to ring back. This doesn't.

The voice

Press play. Would you know it wasn't a person?

It listens while it talks, lets callers interrupt, and answers in the time a person would. Callers can't tell the difference. Press play and hear for yourself.

What does hiring a clinic receptionist really cost?

One receptionist, several clinicians, one phone

Bookings for three consultants, results queries, directions and the door, all through one person who also has to answer the phone.

One person booking for several consultants

A dermatologist on Tuesdays, a cardiologist on Thursdays, each with their own slot lengths and rules. A new receptionist takes months to stop making mistakes.

Self-pay enquiries ring from the search results

Someone looking for a private scan or consultation rings the first three clinics on Google. The one that picks up and quotes a price gets the booking.

Insurance questions take a receptionist off the phone

Which insurers you accept, whether a referral is needed, what the excess is. Each one is a five-minute call while two more ring out.

What changes with an AI receptionist instead of hiring

Booked with the right consultant on the right day

It knows who does what and when, books into the right diary, and texts the patient what to bring and where to park.

Self-pay prices quoted exactly as written

Consultation fees, scan prices and what is included, from your website, never more, with a deposit by text if your rule needs one. Team plan.

Insurance and referral questions answered

Which insurers you accept, whether a GP referral is needed and what the patient should bring, from your own information, with a message for anything else.

It happens to be AI. That is why it never calls in sick, never needs cover, and answers several callers at once. You do not need to know anything about AI to use it: paste your website, pick a voice, connect a number.

Three calls a clinic receptionist takes every week

What the caller says, what SiVoice does, and what lands with you.

Self-pay MRI enquiry

“I have had knee pain for months and the NHS wait for a scan is long. How much is a private MRI and how soon?”

It gives the MRI price from your site, explains that a consultation comes first if that is your rule, and books a consultation with the orthopaedic consultant on Monday at 4pm. It takes a deposit by text.

A self-pay patient booked and paid for during a lunchtime search.

Insurer authorisation number

“I have cover with my work scheme. Do you take it, and do I need an authorisation number before I come?”

It checks your list of accepted insurers, says what the patient needs to bring, and books the appointment with a note that the authorisation number is to follow. It sends a message to the admin team.

An insured patient booked correctly with the admin team told what to chase.

Is the consultant running late

“I am due to see Dr Okafor at 2.30. Is she running on time? I have to collect the kids at 4.”

It cannot see the clinic floor, so it takes the patient's name and number and sends a message to the clinic nurse to ring them straight back. It tells the caller it has done so.

A patient kept informed without the desk being interrupted.

Clinic receptionist salary against an AI receptionist: the numbers

Median full-time pay from the national statistics office, before employer taxes, pension, holiday and sick cover, recruitment and training. Team is the best plan: three numbers, an AI receptionist per location, deposits on the call, ring-backs, several callers at once. Solo is the one-person option.

A receptionist, a yearA receptionist, a monthSiVoice Team plan, a month BestSiVoice Solo plan, a month
United Kingdom£24,678£2,057£354 · excl. tax£150
United StatesYou$37,230$3,103$449 · excl. tax$199
Deutschland€33,636€2,803€419 · excl. tax€179

Nothing against them. They're people, and people have lives. The phone doesn't.

The fee before the salary

A recruitment agency typically charges a percentage of the first year's salary, commonly 15 to 25 percent, or a daily margin on a temp.

The salary is the start

Add employer's National Insurance or payroll tax, pension, training, and the cost of covering the desk when they're away.

Off sick

UK workers lost an average of 4.4 days each to sickness in 2024, says the ONS. The phone does not get the memo.

On holiday

28 days a year in the UK, and you pay for every one of them. Who answers while they're on the beach?

At lunch

One o'clock sharp, which is when the phone is busiest.

Evenings and weekends

Not on the rota. That is when customers finally have a minute to ring.

Monday morning, the text

Can't make it today. The desk is empty and the week starts on the back foot.

Two calls at once

One person answers one call. The second one is voicemail, however good they are.

Hands in their notice

Just as they finally know the job. Back to the advert, the gap and the training.

SiVoice: none of the above. Every call answered, day and night, from $449 a month on the Team plan.

Why not voicemail, an answering service or another receptionist?

Each of them answers part of the problem. Only one answers every call, knows your business and costs less than a day of a receptionist's time.

Clinic receptionist questions, answered

Updated November 2026

We have more than one clinic. Does it know which is which?

Yes. On the Team plan each location gets its own receptionist on its own number, knowing that clinic's address, hours and diary. A caller who rings the wrong one is given the right number or put through.

Is this instead of a receptionist, or as well as one?

Either. Some businesses use SiVoice instead of hiring, some use it to take the phone off a receptionist who is already run off their feet, and some use it to cover the gap while they recruit. It answers the phone; a person still greets whoever walks in.

How quickly can it start?

Paste your website and it is built in 30 seconds. You can talk to it in your browser straight away, before you give us an email address. Connecting a phone number takes a few more minutes, and it is answering the same day.
