Answer and capture
An AI receptionist provides the conversation layer. Lead capture gathers approved details, while after-hours rules decide how closed-office calls are handled. These are useful together, but each has a distinct setup question: what to answer, what to collect, and when to route.
Act through configured tools
Booking and live transfers require real supported connections. A confirmed appointment or completed handoff should reflect an actual action result. Without that support, capture a request and explain that it is pending.
Leave work the team can review
Structured summaries connect the call with follow-up. They should distinguish caller-provided information, completed actions, and unresolved requests. Define where the result goes and who reviews it before coverage is activated.
