AI call assistant
Making sure every call gets answered seems like an impossible feat when your day is loaded with other responsbilities. You could be an HVAC tech on a complex A/C repair, or an accountant swamped with tax filings when the phone interrupts. Every unexpected call eats into your day, but missing it means risking missed opportunities.
With an AI call assistant like Upfirst, you can take the pressure off answering phones. Our virtual receptionist answers calls 24/7, provides immediate support, and handles routine tasks like booking appointments and capturing leads. It’s a smart solution that gives you back the resources you value most—time, focus, and peace of mind.

What are the benefits of an AI phone assistant?
An AI phone assistant offers a range of benefits: 24/7 availability, improved caller experience, automated lead capture, appointment scheduling, reduced labor costs, and call routing. It’s like having a team of receptionists, minus the overhead.
How do I know if I need an AI answering service?
If you’re missing calls, feeling overwhelmed by call volume, or struggling to keep up with scheduling, it’s time to consider an AI assistant. Businesses that want to automate their phone lines and offer exceptional customer service—without hiring extra staff—will see immediate value.
Can your service integrate with my CRM and other app that I use?
Absolutely. Our platform connects with popular CRMs, calendar tools, and apps. The AI voice agent can log caller details, update contact records, and slot appointments directly into your schedule, ensuring a workflow that runs even when you’re away.
Can it handle multiple calls at the same time?
Yes. Unlike a single human receptionist, our AI phone call assistant can manage multiple calls simultaneously, ensuring every caller is greeted promptly—no holding, no waiting.
Why is this service better than a voicemail?
Voicemail boxes fill up, and callers often hang up before leaving a message. Our AI assistant engages your callers right away, providing answers and solutions immediately. It’s like a call assistant voicemail system, but it’s more personal, responsive, and more likely to keep prospects interested.
Do you offer multiple language options?
Yes. We currently support English and Spanish, and we’re expanding our language options over time. We make serving a bilingual market affordable and as easy as flipping a switch, ensuring every caller feels at home.
Will I receive transcripts and call summaries?
You bet. After each call, you’ll have access to a detailed transcript and a summary of the phone conversation. This makes it easy to follow up, improve your training, or share important notes with your team.
How quickly can I get set up with your answering service?
Most businesses can go live in under an hour. Simply sign up, customize your greeting and protocols, test a few calls, and you’re ready to roll.
How much money will I save compared to hiring in-house staff?
Instead of paying for salary (avg. $36,000/year), benefits, and training, you pay a simple monthly fee. Our answering service can save you thousands a year while still accessing all the same benefits you would get with an in-house receptionist.
Don't lose out on new potential clients. Our appointment setting service is an affordable virtual receptionist for your service business.
