Questions from welding services.
Will the receptionist sound like a robot to my customers?
No. Your AI receptionist speaks in a natural voice you choose, keeps answers short, and reacts the way a person would ("Oh no, let's get that sorted"). Callers are told once, in the greeting, that they're talking to an AI, and the receptionist never pretends to be a person.
Can the receptionist handle mobile welding calls?
Yes. Your AI receptionist captures the site address, what's being welded, and urgency level, then texts you immediately for on-site dispatch decisions.
What happens with an emergency at 2am?
Your AI receptionist answers at 2am the same as 2pm. When a caller describes an emergency the receptionist gives them the safety step first, takes the address, and sends you a text, an app notification and an email straight away. The receptionist tells the caller you'll call them right back and never promises an arrival time, so you decide when you go.
Does the receptionist qualify material and process?
Yes. Your AI receptionist asks about steel, aluminum, stainless, cast iron, or exotic alloys, and whether the caller needs MIG, TIG, or stick work.
Can the receptionist book fabrication quotes?
Yes. Your AI receptionist takes the dimensions, material and quantity, books a shop visit or a quote callback, and puts the appointment on your calendar.
How fast can I get set up?
Setup takes about 10 minutes. Configure your materials, service area, and pricing, then forward your calls.
