Your AI phone number. I'm ready when you are.

Finally, the prompt templates should be customized for your own company before you test the AI answering machine for your business. If you're satisfied with the AI-powered voicemail service, you can purchase a phone number through fonio with just one click—a number through which the smart voicemail service can be reached and to which calls can be forwarded at your convenience.

Fonio's AI answering machine can be integrated into all internal company systems (e.g., calendars, CRM, and Google Drive). The AI is able to access all relevant data during calls once it has been connected to the appropriate internal company systems. Here at fonio, we offer all kinds of AI answering machines with various features (e.g., simply recording calls and sending them via email; an interactive phone assistant that asks for order numbers, for example; or answering only standard questions and forwarding calls to the appropriate staff member).

Customize it. Accessible automatically.

The fonio AI answering machine answers all desired calls with a voice and greeting that you customize. In addition, a prompt containing all the important information and rules of conduct is added (either written by you or selected from one of the prompt templates for smart answering machines).

AI Answering Machine

The AI answering machine from fonio is an AI-powered automated phone assistant that answers calls when no staff member is available. The AI answering machine is particularly well-suited for businesses and self-employed individuals who want to be available to customers 24/7, even outside of business hours and office hours. Our AI answering machine greets the caller with a friendly, natural, and professional voice and asks for important information about the inquiry right at the start of the conversation. When setting up our AI-powered answering machine, the AI is provided with key information about the respective company directly in the prompt, enabling it to identify issues and answer questions. Through the post-processing feature directly in our AI phone assistant, you can schedule appointments and send text messages and emails. The AI answering machine is available 24/7 and answers all calls that your team cannot take due to time constraints or absence. An AI answering machine goes beyond the capabilities of a traditional answering machine, as it not only collects the caller's information but also processes the request directly, answers questions, and sends follow-ups via email or text message.

How does the AI answering machine work?

No call is missed.

The AI answering machine works by having artificial intelligence automatically answer, analyze, and respond intelligently to calls when they are forwarded to the AI's number. The AI answering machine takes calls when no one is available and greets callers with a natural-sounding voice.

Forward messages according to your rules. Transcript included.

With the AI voicemail service, companies or self-employed individuals can set specific times during which calls are forwarded from the business number to the AI number (e.g., during lunch breaks, on weekends, or after work). During the conversation between the AI-powered answering service and the caller, a transcript is generated and sent to the company's specified email address or phone number after the call.

Set it up once. Provide lasting relief.

Our AI-powered answering machine is capable of answering up to 98% of callers' questions and resolving their issues. To answer these questions, you enter all the necessary information about the company, its hours of operation, and its services into the AI's prompt when setting up the AI. For automated calls, the AI answering machine then draws on this information from the prompts that have been entered.

Seamlessly integrated into your systems.

With our AI-powered answering machine, it is possible to retrieve real-time information from the Internet during a call, synchronize calendars, and access connected databases (such as an order database) directly via API interfaces. Thanks to our extensive integrations, the AI assistant can be seamlessly integrated into existing processes.
