Frequently Asked Questions

What is an AI receptionist?

An AI receptionist is a virtual phone agent that answers calls, greets callers, schedules appointments, transfers calls to staff, and takes messages — just like a human receptionist but available 24/7 and able to handle unlimited concurrent calls.

Can AI receptionists transfer calls to staff?

Yes. isLucid's AI receptionist performs warm transfers — it checks if the person is available, briefs them on the call, and transfers with full context. If the person is unavailable, it offers alternatives like voicemail, callback, or another team member.

How does the AI receptionist handle scheduling?

The AI integrates with your calendar (Google Calendar, Outlook, etc.), checks real-time availability, books appointments, sends confirmations, and handles rescheduling — all during the phone call.

What happens if the AI can't help a caller?

The AI recognizes when it can't resolve an issue and escalates to a human team member with a warm transfer including full context. If no one is available, it takes a detailed message and flags it as urgent.

How much does an AI receptionist cost?

isLucid's AI receptionist costs $0.10–$0.125 per minute with no monthly minimums. Most small businesses spend $200-$500/month compared to $3,000-$5,000 for a full-time human receptionist.
