Question 1

What is an AI receptionist?

Accepted Answer

An AI receptionist is a voice AI agent that answers inbound business phone calls 24/7, qualifies leads, captures contact details, books appointments, and routes complex calls to a human when needed. It replaces voicemail and reduces missed-call revenue loss for service businesses without the cost of a full-time front desk.

Question 2

How does Chleb AI work?

Accepted Answer

Chleb AI answers every inbound call in under 2 seconds with a natural-sounding voice agent trained on the business's services, hours, and intake script. The agent qualifies leads, books appointments directly into the business calendar, recovers missed calls via personalized SMS within 60 seconds, and logs every interaction (recording, transcript, lead status) inside a branded CRM with revenue attribution.

Question 3

Which industries does Chleb AI serve?

Accepted Answer

Chleb AI is built for US service businesses where missed calls become missed revenue. Primary verticals include HVAC, dental and orthodontic practices, plumbing and home services, auto dealerships, salons, barbershops, med spas, lawn care, and mobile field-service operators.

Question 4

How fast can Chleb AI go live for my business?

Accepted Answer

Most service businesses are live on Chleb AI within 7 days of the discovery call. Setup includes voice configuration, calendar and CRM integration, intake script tuning, and a test-call walkthrough before the number goes hot.

Question 5

Will the AI sound robotic to my customers?

Accepted Answer

No. Chleb AI uses a natural-sounding voice model tuned for service-business conversations. Prospects can try the AI live on chleb.ai before booking a call. When the AI cannot resolve a request, it routes the caller to a human while preserving full context.
