AI receptionist for small businesses

An AI receptionist that answers every call, and puts the important ones through

Deskee picks up when you can't: on a job, with a client or after hours. It answers questions from your own information, books appointments and takes messages, so no enquiry goes to voicemail.

No per-minute fee from us. A call counts as one conversation however long it lasts. Our founder will set it up with you, free.

On a call

What your receptionist does

It talks like a person: callers can interrupt, ask follow-ups and change their mind. Everything it says comes from the information you give it.

Are you open on Saturday?

Answers questions

Hours, prices, areas you cover, how things work. It reads your website and keeps checking it for changes.

Can I book in for Thursday?

Books appointments

Offers real free slots from your Deskee calendar, books the caller in and sends them a confirmation. Link Google Calendar so it never double-books you.

Can I speak to someone?

Puts calls through

Transfers the caller to your mobile or office, only during the hours you choose. If nobody picks up, it takes a message instead.

Can someone call me back?

Takes messages

Gets their name, number and what it's about, and sends it straight to you. Nothing waits on a voicemail you haven't listened to.

And after the call?

You see the whole call

Every call is saved as a written transcript with the caller's number. Get an alert in the Deskee app and call back from there.

It learns for next time

Overnight, it learns from how you answered the questions it passed to you, so next time it can answer them itself.

Where the call goes

A message on your phone, not a voicemail to dig through

  • An alert the moment it mattersA push notification in the Deskee app or your browser, and an email, when a caller leaves a message or asks for you.
  • The call, written downRead the transcript in ten seconds instead of listening to a three-minute voicemail.
  • Bookings straight into your calendarWith a confirmation email to the caller, and a reminder before the appointment.
Not only calls

The same receptionist on every channel

Your Twilio number takes texts as well as calls, and the same assistant can answer your website chat, email, Facebook Messenger and Telegram. One set of answers, one inbox for your team.

Monthly figures are weekly × 4.3. Twilio's call charges are extra and paid to Twilio, usually a few pence a minute.

What it costs

No per-minute fee from us

Long calls don't cost you more with Deskee. You pay two simple things, and you can see both.

Deskee Pro

£25 a month with 250 AI conversations. Each call is one conversation, whether it lasts one minute or ten. Top up if you need more.

Your own Twilio account

Twilio bills the phone number and call minutes directly, at their own rates with nothing added by us. Usually a few pence a minute.

Nothing else

No setup fee, no platform fee, no contract. Cancel any time, and the number stays yours because it's in your Twilio account.

Setting up

Answering calls this afternoon

Do it yourself in under an hour, or let us do it with you.

Teach it your business

Paste your website address. It reads your services, prices, hours and areas, and you can add anything that isn't online.

Connect a Twilio number

Paste your Twilio Account SID, Auth Token and number. Deskee points the number at your receptionist for you.

Forward your calls

Pick a voice and greeting, set when calls can be put through, then forward your business number when you're busy or after hours.

Tell me how you handle calls now: who should get put through, when, and what callers usually ask. I'll set up the Twilio number, the greeting and the transfers to work that way, and stay with you until it's right. It's included in Pro at no extra cost.

AI receptionist questions

Will callers know it's an AI?

Yes. The greeting says it's an automated assistant for your business and that the call is transcribed. Callers can ask for a person at any time, and it puts them through during the hours you set.

Can I keep my existing phone number?

Yes. Keep your number and forward calls to your Twilio number: all the time, only when you don't answer, or only after hours. Your phone provider can set this up, and so can we.

Why do I need a Twilio account?

Twilio is the phone network your receptionist answers on. Having your own account means the number belongs to you, you pay Twilio's own rates with nothing added, and you can see every call in their dashboard. We'll walk you through opening one.

How much do calls cost?

From us, each call is one AI conversation out of your monthly allowance, however long it lasts. Twilio charges for the number and the call minutes, usually a few pence a minute. You can set a maximum call length so a call never runs on.

What if it doesn't know the answer?

It says it isn't sure rather than guessing, and offers to put the caller through or take a message. Only facts from your information get said out loud.

Can it book appointments?

Yes. It books into your Deskee calendar, only offering times you're free. Link Google Calendar and it also avoids anything already in there. The caller gets a confirmation email and a reminder.

What happens after hours?

It still answers. Outside the hours you've set for transfers, it takes a message instead of putting calls through, and you get it in the app straight away.

Which languages and voices can it use?

On calls it speaks English (British or American), German, French and Spanish, with a choice of male and female voices. On text channels it can reply in many more.

Does it answer text messages too?

Yes. The same Twilio number can take texts, and your receptionist replies to them with the same answers it gives on calls.
