An AI receptionist answers your business line the moment a call comes in, talks to the caller like a person on your team, captures the job details, and books the appointment. Beside does this 24/7, including nights, weekends, and the hours you are already on a job.

Voicemail asks the caller to wait. Most of them hang up. Beside's AI receptionist has a live conversation, qualifies the work, and puts a booking on your calendar. You get a summary and a transcript, not a pile of missed-call callbacks.

Yes. It checks your calendar, offers open times, and confirms the booking with the caller. You can set the services it can book, the hours it should offer, and when a call should transfer to a person on your team.

No. Port your existing number to Beside or forward calls from your current carrier. Callers keep dialing the same number.

Beside's phone product is $29.99 per user per month for 30 AI-answered calls, or $99.99 per user per month for unlimited AI-answered calls. Every other feature is included on both plans. No per-minute fees.
