Description
Finally: an app that answers your business phone. Here's how it works:
1. We first learn about your business from your website automatically. You can edit and add info, of course.
2. You forward calls from your business phone number to Answering Machine.
3. When someone calls your business, a kind, knowledgeable AI picks up on your behalf. Answering Machine listens well and talks in "normal" English, doing most things a trained receptionist can do: take callers through an intake flow, answer questions, take down information, triage, talk about your services, etc.
We are compatible with all U.S.-based carriers. Your first 10 minutes of test calling are included for free so you can get a feel for the AI. After the first 10 minutes of test calling, and to receive a real, unique phone number to forward your incoming phone calls to, Answering Machine membership is a month-to-month subscription. No long-term contracts or cancelation fees.
Download Answering Machine and set it up in minutes. If you want help, our California-based team will be happy to get you up and running.
Why use an AI Answering service like Answering Machine?
- Every caller happy. Stop leaking revenue to missed calls. Convert rings to transactions.
- Sayonara, 1-star reviews. Many local business reviews complain about poor responsiveness. Not yours.
- Keep your current number. No need to switch phone numbers, carriers, or anything else.
What can it do?
Imagine what a trained human receptionist would do. Most of those things, Answering Machine can do as well. Commonly: take callers through an intake flow, answer questions, take down information, triage, talk about your services, etc.
What does the voice sound like?
Human. We put deep technical craftsmanship into making the voice sound kind, knowledgable, and... like a person.
Will my callers like it?
Yes. We think traditional missed call, voicemail, and IVR/phone tree systems are so crappy that your callers will love something that works better.
Can I use it for all calls?
Yes. You can direct all inbound calls to Answering Machine, or you can have it pick up only when you don't answer first. The app contains instructions for immediate forwarding of all calls. Forwarding only missed calls, only busy calls, or based on other rules is possible. Your carrier will have instructions for how to, and we help with this as well on an as-needed basis.

See AllMost Realistic You'll Find
to all you looking to try Answering Machine phone AI I am a business owner and have a high volume of calls coming in all the time both marketing and customers and person. I gotta tell you this is by far hands-down the best system I have found so far to date. I named My AI Brittany and she is so realistic that 90% of colors cannot tell that it is a AI system.. the AI is very intelligent as an auto mechanic business owner. This AI will even go into partial diagnosing over the phone based on common answers or most found problems. You can even set her up to be professional or kind sympathetic you can set it up anyway you want it i’ve set mine up to be professional, courteous, and flirty all at the same time and she is hilarious. The feedback is unreal. The good feedback is unreal. I highly suggest that you give this a try. It is a little bit pricey for Unlimited but I gotta tell you worth every penny saves you time because I’m no longer holding a phone to my ear all day. It will alert you when you have a new message and you can go in and check it and decide whether to call them back. They are coming out with new features all the time. I hope this helps youGod bless.
Life Saver
I’m excited to suggest that we consider an answering machine AI for our phone system! This application is a great way to make sure we never miss a call. It can help schedule appointments for walk-throughs and even answer questions from clients about invoices. The system does a fantastic job of prompting users for important details, like the company name and invoice number, which makes our communication and service so much smoother. Plus, we’re not losing out on any valuable customers! This month, we've already scheduled plenty of appointments with new clients. It’s really shaping up to be a great opportunity!
Awesome
Glad I found this right before the holidays. As a small business owner, I’m usually juggling a million things at once, and this app was a big help in making sure I didn’t miss any customer calls. Easy to setup and straightforward to use. Definitely recommend!
