Published by Revo, which sells an AI receptionist for home service businesses. Reviewed November 10, 2026.

How Calls Are Answered and Routed

When a customer calls your business, the AI receptionist answers promptly, using your chosen greeting and script. It can respond in English or Spanish, ensuring callers feel understood. If your plan includes it, important calls can be transferred directly to your team, so urgent matters reach the right person.

Appointment Booking and Call Summaries

The AI receptionist books appointments directly into your calendar or field service software, following your rules. After each call, it sends a summary to your team, so you always know who called and why. This keeps your schedule organised and your team informed, without extra admin work.

Follow-Up and Communication

After every call, the AI receptionist sends an SMS follow-up to the caller, confirming their appointment or next steps. For businesses using WhatsApp, messages can also be sent there. This helps keep customers engaged, reduces no-shows, and ensures everyone is on the same page.
