Frequently asked questions

Answers without the AI vocabulary lesson.

These are the questions an owner should ask before trusting a digital employee with real customers.

Is an AI receptionist the same as a live answering service?+

No. A live answering service uses human receptionists and usually bills by receptionist time. An AI employee can respond instantly, perform structured intake and connect directly to tools, but requires careful configuration and supervision.

Will it replace my office staff?+

The intended first use is to cover missed, after-hours and repetitive work so human staff can focus on exceptions, relationships and decisions.

Can it book directly into my calendar or CRM?+

Yes once the correct integration is connected and tested. The employee should always read real availability rather than invent an appointment.

Can I listen to calls and review transcripts?+

The Agentlivo design includes recordings where legally permitted, transcripts, summaries and a complete activity history.

How should I start?+

Start with one narrow role and a controlled after-hours, overflow or test-number pilot. Review every early conversation before expanding coverage.
