After-hours answering FAQs

How is this different from a traditional after-hours answering service?
A traditional service takes messages. Your AI receptionist books, reschedules and answers during the call, and documents everything with a transcript and summary.
How do calls reach it after hours?
Through your phone provider’s scheduled call forwarding. During business hours your team answers as usual.
What happens with urgent calls overnight?
They follow your rules — transferred to your on-call person or sent as an instant priority alert, with a backup if nobody answers.
Can it cover holidays?
Yes. Holiday schedules are part of your setup, and you can update them any time.
What does after-hours coverage cost?
$0.75 USD per conversation minute, billed by the second. Covering Monday to Thursday overnight at 60 calls a month is about $99.
Will customers know it’s an AI?
Yes. It says so in the first sentence, and offers a callback or transfer if they want a person.
Can we start with after-hours and add more later?
Yes. Most clients start with after-hours, then add overflow during busy hours.
How fast can it be live?
About five business days. You can try it free for 7 days.
