FAQ
Kansas City, KS questions about AI phone answering
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
What happens when a caller asks for a human?
Emergencies, current customers and anyone who asks for a person can ring your number directly. You write that list, and the receptionist follows it. Every other caller gets an answer, a few qualifying questions and either a booking or a text with the next step.
How does $179 a month compare with a receptionist’s salary?
A full-time receptionist runs $3,500 or more a month and covers one shift. The AI receptionist answers around the clock for $179 a month, has no contract and no setup fee, and covers nights and weekends without a second hire.
How long does setup take?
Setup usually runs a few days. The slow part is gathering your call rules, service details and calendar access, which is work on your side. With those in hand, Lithium loads the voice and knowledge base, and you call the line yourself before a customer does.
Who answers when a pipe bursts at midnight?
The receptionist does, using the urgency questions you wrote. It can ring the on-call tech, hold the first open slot or send the details by text, at midnight or midday. The plumbing project in the card came from that kind of after-hours call.
What else can custom automation do for the business?
Beyond answering calls, Lithium can connect the tools you already run. A finished job can trigger the review request, a web form can drop straight into the CRM, and the phone system can pass a caller’s details to the calendar. That work is priced separately, and a build usually takes one to two weeks.
