The problem
What this page exists to fix.
Every missed call is a missed customer. When a prospect calls your business and hears voicemail, 85% hang up without leaving a message. When a patient calls your practice after hours, they call a competitor.
When a lead calls from a paid ad and gets put on hold, the conversion evaporates. Hiring a full-time receptionist costs $40–55K annually. A part-time one still leaves gaps.
An answering service uses untrained agents reading from a generic script with no access to your calendar or CRM. Vociply's AI receptionist answers every call in under a second. It knows your business, your team's schedule, and your common questions.
It books directly into your calendar, qualifies leads before they reach your team, and routes callers based on what they actually need — not which extension they press.
What teams build with Vociply
Appointment booking and scheduling
Checks your calendar availability in real time and books appointments on the spot. Sends confirmations via SMS or email. Works with Google Calendar, Microsoft 365, Calendly, and most booking systems.
Lead qualification before handoff
Asks the right questions — budget, timeline, service interest, location — and routes qualified prospects to your team with a full call summary. Your team only talks to people who are ready.
Intelligent call routing
Routes calls to the right person or department based on what the caller actually says. No phone trees, no "press 1 for sales." Callers describe their need and get connected correctly.
FAQ and business information
Hours, location, services, pricing, parking, insurance acceptance — answered instantly from your knowledge base. No agent involvement for the calls that don't need one.
After-hours and overflow coverage
When your office closes, Vociply keeps answering. Captures urgent inquiries, books next-day appointments, and alerts your on-call team for genuine emergencies.
Warm transfer to your team
When a caller needs a human, the AI transfers with a spoken summary — who's calling, why they're calling, and what they've already shared. Your team picks up informed.
Under the hood
Real-time calendar integration
Vociply connects directly to Google Calendar, Microsoft 365, Calendly, Acuity, and healthcare EHR scheduling systems. The AI checks live availability, books the appointment, and sends confirmations automatically. No double-bookings, no manual follow-up.
Trained on your business
Upload your services list, FAQ document, pricing sheet, or website URL. The AI receptionist learns your business in minutes and answers caller questions accurately — without hallucinating information you haven't provided. Update it any time from the dashboard.
Every call, captured and reviewed
Full transcripts and call recordings for every interaction. See what callers ask most, where leads are coming from, and which questions your AI couldn't answer. Use the data to improve your knowledge base and close the gaps.

Frequently asked questions
Open one to read the answer.
Which industries use an AI receptionist?
Medical and dental practices, law firms, home services (HVAC, plumbing, roofing), real estate agencies, financial advisors, salons and spas, and any service business where phone calls drive revenue. If missing a call costs you a customer, an AI receptionist pays for itself.
Can the AI book appointments directly into my calendar?
Yes. Vociply connects to Google Calendar, Microsoft 365, Calendly, Acuity Scheduling, and most healthcare EHR systems with scheduling APIs. It checks live availability and books in real time — no separate confirmation step required.
Will callers know they're talking to an AI?
Vociply's voice agents sound natural and professional. We recommend transparent disclosure per FTC guidelines and applicable state law. You can configure the agent to identify itself as an AI assistant at the start of each call — most callers find the experience positive when it's fast, knowledgeable, and helpful.
What happens when the AI can't answer a question?
The agent recognizes the boundary of its knowledge and offers to connect the caller with your team, leave a detailed message, or schedule a callback. It never fabricates information. Every unanswered question is logged so you can update the knowledge base.
Can I use it just for after-hours coverage?
Yes. Configure Vociply to activate only outside business hours, only when your lines are busy (overflow), or around the clock. Scheduling rules are configurable per day of week and time of day from the dashboard.
