AI RECEPTIONIST

AI receptionist: a voice assistant that answers, routes calls and books appointments

We connect it to the VoIP system you already have. It answers when the office is busy or closed, understands what the caller needs, reads your calendar and business software and hands over to a person when it should.

IN SHORT

In short

UreTech designs and runs AI receptionists for SMEs, professional firms and service teams: a voice assistant connected to the company VoIP system answers calls in natural language, books appointments, opens tickets and transfers to an operator. Callers always know they are talking to an AI, as Article 50 of the EU AI Act requires.

The assistant uses your documents and data from the CRM or business software to answer about opening hours, order status or availability. It works with the most common phone systems over SIP and leaves a written summary of every call, so whoever calls back already knows the context.

The calls you lose today

It happens in almost every small company.

Line busy

Two people on the phone and the third call is lost. Often it is a new customer, who rings the next competitor.

After hours

In the evening and on Saturdays the voicemail answers. Few leave a message and hardly anyone leaves a complete one.

The keypad menu

“Press 1, press 2”: callers do not know which key to pick and end up asking for a person anyway.

Always the same questions

Opening hours, order status, documents to bring. Easy questions that interrupt people at work.

What the AI receptionist does

Fitted to the way you work, with clear rules on when to hand over to a person.

Answers every call

Several at once, in Italian and English, with a natural voice and the tone you choose.

Books appointments

Reads the shared calendar, offers free slots and sends confirmation by text or WhatsApp.

Reads CRM and business software

Order status, deadlines, case number: it answers with real data, read-only if you prefer.

Opens tickets and urgent calls

Collects fault details, opens the ticket and calls the on-call technician if urgent.

Hands over to a person

Transfers to the right extension with a summary, or schedules a callback.

Summary of every call

Who called, what they wanted and what was decided, in the CRM or by email.

What we keep under control

The assistant introduces itself as an AI at the start of the call, as the AI Act requires from 2 August 2026. Audio recording is off by default and turned on only if needed, with the privacy notice. We use models and servers in the European Union where the service allows, and we agree with you the topics the assistant must not answer: in those cases it always hands over to a person.

The phone system you already have

The connection uses an extension or a SIP trunk. We work with systems such as 3CX, Asterisk and FreePBX, Wildix, Yeastar or your carrier’s cloud PBX, after checking what they allow. If the phone system needs replacing, we handle advice, supply and setup of the new one, or we can offer Urephone, the cloud phone system we built ourselves.

OUR PHONE SYSTEM

Urephone, our own cloud phone system

Urephone is the VoIP phone system we built on Asterisk and use every day at UreTech for our own calls. It runs on servers we manage and is meant for companies that want a dedicated phone system, without relying on an outside provider for every change.

  • Already running: extensions that work remotely too, on a PC, a phone or in the browser; voice menu (IVR), call queues and voicemail; opening hours and public holidays; Italian prompts; email alerts for calls.
  • Coming next: a graphical admin panel, a smartphone app, a built-in AI voice assistant and a single inbox for phone, WhatsApp and email.

The AI receptionist described on this page connects to Urephone just as it does to 3CX, FreePBX, Wildix or Yeastar. If you are thinking of changing phone system, in the free review we look at whether Urephone suits you or whether you are better off staying with what you have.

Technology ecosystem

Models and tools we build with

Our partnerships cover websites and e-commerce. Around them sits the rest of the business: ERP, servers, backups and artificial intelligence. For each technology we say exactly what we do: we integrate, design, set up and build.

EXAMPLE

One call, step by step

It is 7:40 pm and the office is closed. A customer calls about a fault. The assistant answers, says it is an AI and asks what happened. It recognises the number, finds the customer in the CRM and checks that the contract includes on-call support.

Then it collects what the technician needs: machine, error message, whether production has stopped. It opens the ticket, calls the technician on duty and reads out the summary. If the technician does not answer within a few minutes, it tries the next name on the list. The customer gets a text with the ticket number.

Next morning whoever opens the office finds everything in the ticket: who called, when, what they said and who stepped in. You set the rules for each step, meaning which customers, which hours and which emergencies, and we change them when needed.

COST AND TIMING

Cost and timing

A first AI receptionist with answers, bookings and hand-over to an operator goes into testing within a few weeks. The cost has two parts: the initial project (script, connections, test) and a monthly cost tied to conversation minutes and management. The price ranges of our AI projects are on the AI agent cost page; for the receptionist the quote comes once we have seen volumes and connections.

Who it is for

For businesses that get many calls with repeated requests: medical and professional practices, garages, technical support, rentals, hotels, companies with an order desk. It also works well as the first filter of IT support, linked to the ticketing system. If you would rather start from chat, the same assistant can answer on the website and on WhatsApp: see our chatbots and virtual assistants.

AI receptionist FAQ

It is a voice assistant on your company number that understands what callers say and answers out loud. It can give information, book appointments, open tickets and transfer the call to the right person.
Usually not. We connect it to your existing VoIP system through an extension or SIP trunk, and the number stays the same. If the system is old and cannot do it, we propose how to replace it.
Yes, always. The assistant says so at the start of the call, as Article 50 of the AI Act requires, and anyone can ask for an operator straight away.
Yes, with Google Calendar, Outlook or your business software’s calendar if it has APIs. It offers free slots and sends confirmation.
It asks a question to clarify. If that is not enough, it transfers the call or schedules a callback with a summary for whoever takes it.
By default no: we keep only the written summary. Audio recording is enabled only if needed, with a privacy notice and retention periods agreed with you.
A first script with answers, bookings and hand-over to an operator takes a few weeks, including the test on the internal number. Links to CRM and business software add time depending on the APIs available.
Yes. It recognises the caller’s language and replies in it; more languages can be added.
Yes, Urephone: a cloud phone system on Asterisk that we use ourselves first, with voice menu, queues, voicemail, opening hours and holidays, and remote extensions. The AI receptionist connects to Urephone as well as to 3CX, FreePBX, Wildix and Yeastar.
