Use Case — Missed Call Recovery

Stop Losing Customers to Missed Calls

Every missed call is a missed opportunity. 62% of callers never ring back — but AI can answer or text back within 30 seconds, capturing leads and booking jobs while you work.

To automate missed calls,businesses use an AI receptionist combined with SMS text-back automation. When a call goes unanswered, the system instantly sends a personalised text message within 30 seconds, captures the caller's details, and can book appointments or answer FAQs — all without human intervention. This ensures no lead is lost, even outside business hours, on weekends, or when staff are on the tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly does the AI text back after a missed call?

Within 30 seconds. The system detects a missed call and fires off a personalised SMS immediately, so the caller knows you're responsive even when you can't pick up.

Does the AI sound like a robot?

Not at all. Modern AI voice agents use natural language processing to sound conversational and human-like. Callers typically can't tell they're speaking with an AI.

Can I customise what the AI says and texts?

Absolutely. You control the greeting, qualifying questions, text-back messages, and escalation rules. We tailor everything to your business during setup.

Will it work with my existing phone number?

Yes. We forward your existing business number to the AI system — no need to change your number or tell customers anything different.

What happens with urgent calls?

You set the rules. Urgent calls (e.g., emergency plumbing) can be routed directly to your mobile. Routine enquiries are handled by the AI and queued for follow-up.
