Questions, answered.
What is an AI receptionist?
An AI receptionist is a voice agent that answers your business's phone calls and talks with callers in natural language, 24 hours a day. It handles front-desk work like answering common questions, capturing caller details, and booking appointments. Unlike a phone menu, callers simply talk to it the way they would to a person.

What can a Velay AI receptionist do on a call?
It answers common questions, captures the caller's details and reason for calling, qualifies leads, and books, cancels, or reschedules appointments directly in your calendar. It can also transfer a call to a person or schedule a call-back. It speaks naturally and handles interruptions, and Velay can also automate outbound calls like appointment reminders and follow-ups.
What kinds of businesses use Velay?
Any business that depends on phone calls and appointments: salons, restaurants, real estate agencies, home services, and more. Every agent is customized to the business: its voice, speaking speed, personality, and knowledge base.
What happens when a call is too complex for the AI?
The agent hands it off. During setup we define the handoff and escalation rules for your business, so complex questions get transferred to a person on your team or turned into a scheduled call-back instead of a dead end.
Do I need technical skills to set it up?
No. Setup is no-code and fully managed by the Velay team. We learn how you handle calls today, design the call flow and knowledge base, set up the phone number and routing, then test and launch your agent.
Can I try a Velay AI receptionist before buying?
