Overview
Softech designed and implemented an AI Receptionist system for automatic handling of incoming phone calls. The solution uses artificial intelligence to conduct conversations, answer questions, and book appointments or services. The product was created for service businesses that need to improve phone availability, reduce missed calls, and automate repetitive booking workflows.
Problem
In many service industries — such as clinics, salons, workshops, or rental businesses — phone support is one of the most time-consuming operational processes. Staff cannot always answer immediately, which leads to missed calls, lower conversion, and weaker customer experience.
Solution
We designed and implemented an AI Receptionist system based on speech recognition, real-time response generation with LLMs, and voice synthesis. The agent handles incoming calls, answers frequently asked questions, checks availability, books appointments, and can support prepayments or follow-up communication via SMS and online payment flows.
Business impact
The AI Receptionist significantly improved customer service capacity. Companies using the system can accept reservations 24/7 without maintaining a full human front desk, reduce missed calls, and automate repetitive appointment handling.
