The AI receptionist that answers every call
Keres answers every inbound call in two rings, qualifies the caller, books the appointment on your calendar, and texts your team a summary — 24/7. Never lose another lead to voicemail.
An AI receptionist is software that answers your business phone automatically, around the clock. It greets the caller, understands what they need, qualifies the lead, books or reschedules appointments on your calendar, and hands your team a clean summary — replacing voicemail and after-hours gaps with a front desk that never sleeps.
Why businesses miss calls — and what it costs
Studies put missed inbound calls for service businesses at 25–40% — and most callers who hit voicemail never call back. They call the next business on the list. Every missed call is a missed job, and after-hours and overflow calls are the ones most at risk. See the full missed-call statistics.
Keres closes that gap completely. The moment a call comes in, the AI picks up, talks like a trained front-desk rep, and gets the caller booked before they have a chance to hang up.

AI receptionist FAQ
What is an AI receptionist?
An AI receptionist is software that answers your business phone automatically, 24/7. It greets callers, answers common questions, qualifies the lead, books or reschedules appointments on your calendar, and sends your team a summary — so no call goes to voicemail and no lead is lost.
How is an AI receptionist different from a human answering service?
A human answering service usually just takes a message and charges per minute. Keres AI actually handles the call end to end — it answers in two rings, books the appointment, updates your CRM, and texts the caller a confirmation, at a flat monthly rate with no hold times.
Can the AI receptionist book and reschedule appointments?
Yes. Keres books, confirms, and reschedules directly on Google Calendar, Outlook, or your field-service software during the call, then sends an SMS confirmation.
Does it work after hours and on weekends?
Always. Keres answers nights, weekends, and holidays, and can cover overflow when your team is on another call — the times you lose the most leads.
How much does an AI receptionist cost?
Keres is a flat monthly subscription based on call volume and features — typically far less than a full-time receptionist or per-minute answering service. See the pricing page or book a demo for a quote.
How long does setup take?
Most accounts are live within five business days. We map your call flows, connect your number and calendar, train the AI on your business, and launch. Month-to-month, cancel anytime.
