Every Call Answered. Every Lead Captured.
Your AI receptionist picks up every phone call in your business name, has a proper conversation, and sends you the lead instantly. Built for UK trades and home services. 24/7, 365 days a year.
Here to help See It In Action
Here's how Speed Receptionist handles a real enquiry from start to finish.
A homeowner in Bristol rings about a dripping overflow pipe. Your AI answers on the second ring, introduces itself as your business, and asks the right questions.
The AI has captured the caller's name, address, phone number, and job details: "Overflow pipe dripping from loft tank — been going since last night. Ground floor carpet getting damp."
You get an instant notification on your phone with the full lead summary and urgency rating. You haven't even left the house yet and you've already won the job.
A caller reports they can smell gas. The AI detects the emergency, advises them to open windows and leave the property, and escalates to your mobile immediately.
You answer within 15 seconds and speak directly to the customer. If you hadn't answered, the human backup team would have taken over at the 30-second mark.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the AI answer my phone calls?
We set up call forwarding from your existing business number. When a customer calls you, it rings through to your AI receptionist, which answers in your business name and has a full conversation — not a scripted menu.
Will callers realise it's an AI?
No. The AI speaks naturally, uses your trade's terminology, and responds to questions intelligently. Callers consistently say they had no idea it wasn't a person.
What happens during an emergency call?
The AI is trained to detect trade-specific emergencies. It provides immediate safety advice, then escalates to your mobile. If you don't answer within 30 seconds, a real person from our human backup team takes over.
How much talk time do I get?
The Core plan includes 90 minutes of phone talk time per month. That covers a significant number of calls. If you go over, additional minutes are just £0.25 each.
Can I still answer calls myself?
Absolutely. The AI acts as your fallback — it only picks up when you can't. You can set rules for when calls forward to the AI (e.g. after 4 rings, or outside business hours).
Does it work with my existing phone number?
Yes. We set up forwarding from your current number. Your customers keep calling the same number they always have.
What if my business changes its prices or services?
Just drop us a message — routine business updates are free and included in your plan. If you've updated your pricing, added a new service, changed your working hours, or expanded your service area, we'll update your ai phone answering within 24 hours at no extra charge. This covers the kind of day-to-day changes any trade business makes — it's all part of keeping your AI accurate and up to date for your customers.
How does Speed Receptionist handle my customers' personal data?
Speed Receptionist processes customer call data solely for the purpose of capturing and delivering leads to your trade business. Call recordings and transcripts are handled under strict UK GDPR compliance — callers are informed at the start of the call that it may be recorded for service and quality purposes. We operate as a data processor, meaning your business remains the data controller. All voice data and lead information is processed and stored within the United Kingdom, encrypted in transit and at rest, and retained only for as long as needed to deliver the service. We never sell, share, or use your customers' voice data or personal details for marketing. You can request deletion of any recordings or data at any time, and we will action it within 30 days. Our full privacy policy details our complete data handling practices, retention periods, and your rights under UK data protection law.
