The engine that answers for them answers for your receptionist.

Money-back guarantee
If your stress doesn't go down or your revenue doesn't go up in your first 30 days on a paid plan, tell us and we refund the month. No forms, no argument.
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.
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.
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.
Try this on the demo call
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
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.
The phone does not ring part-time. The calls that come outside the hours you can afford are the ones that go to voicemail.
A part-timer covers mornings. The calls that come in the afternoon, the evening and on Saturday go to voicemail, and those are the callers who have finished work.
A part-time receptionist is looking for full-time work, or fitting the job around something else. When their life changes, the phone is uncovered again.
When a twenty-hour receptionist is off, nobody is hired to cover. The owner answers between jobs, or the phone rings out until they are back.
Mornings, afternoons, evenings and weekends, from a flat monthly price with no holiday, sickness or notice period.
It books into the connected calendar or sends the request with best times, and texts you every message before the caller has hung up.
It learns your business from your website and anything you add, and it does not leave, retrain or need a handover.
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.
What the caller says, what SiVoice does, and what lands with you.
“Can I book my cockapoo in for a full groom on Saturday? She is quite matted.”
It takes the dog's name, breed and size, says what a full groom costs from your price list, notes the matting for the groomer, and books the 9.30am Saturday slot in the connected calendar. It texts the time.
A Saturday groom booked at 6pm on a Thursday with the groomer warned about the coat.
“My daughter has just turned 17 and wants to start lessons. What do you charge and when could she start?”
It gives the lesson and block prices from your site, asks whether she has a provisional licence, takes the postcode and availability, and sends the request to the instructor with best times. It explains what to have ready for the first lesson.
A new learner captured on a Sunday with everything the instructor needs.
“I want a half sleeve. Do I need a consultation first, and is there a deposit?”
It explains the consultation process and the deposit rule from your site, books a consultation with the artist whose style fits, and texts a deposit link if your rule says so.
A consultation booked and held with a deposit, not lost in a pile of unanswered messages.

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.
Compare all plans →Sickness figure: ONS, Sickness absence in the UK labour market, 2023 and 2024. Agency fees vary; check the agency's own terms.
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.

A part-time receptionist at 20 hours a week costs roughly half the full-time median shown below and covers the phone for those hours only. SiVoice covers every hour of the week for a flat monthly price and never needs cover.
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.
