What it does
It never calls in sick, never puts anyone on hold and never forgets to write down a number.
It checks your open times in Google Calendar and books the appointment while the caller is still on the line. Or it takes a request for your team to confirm.
Saturday
Google Calendar
Every call and chat ends with a short summary: who it was, what they wanted and what happens next. The recording and transcript are there if you want them.

Missed calls cost you money
Move the sliders to match your business. It's a rough estimate, but most owners are surprised.
Busy, after hours, on a job or with a customer
Some were only asking a question
What a typical customer spends with you
Estimated money missed each month
$2,880
About 120 missed calls and 36 lost bookings a month.
That is about 29 times the price of the Starter plan.
An estimate from your numbers, using a 30-day month. It is not a promise of results.
Compare
Four ways to handle the calls you can't take. Here's an honest look at each.
| Compare | Global AI | Voicemail | Receptionist on staff | Answering service |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | From $99/month | Usually included | A salary, plus time off and training | Monthly fee, often per minute or per call |
| Hours | 24/7, holidays too | Always on, but nobody answers | Business hours | Depends on the plan |
| Picks up | Right away, every time | Never. Many callers hang up | When they are free | Varies with how busy they are |
| Books appointments | Into your Google Calendar | No | Yes | Often messages only |
| Knows your business | Learns from your website and notes | No | Yes, once trained | A short script |
| Website chat | Included | No | If they have time | Sometimes, extra cost |
| Summary of every call | Waiting in your account after every call | You listen to each one | If they write it down | A message slip |

Each type of business gets its own playbook: the right words, the right questions and the right way to book.
Your receptionist books appointments for the service your client wants, with the stylist they prefer, and answers the questions you hear twenty times a day.

Do you have anything Saturday morning for a cut and color?

Customers
“I own a barber school with 20–30+ leads a day and hundreds of follow-ups. Global AI has honestly been a game changer for me. Before this, my phone and my employees’ phones were blowing up all day. Now the AI handles calls, talks to people like a real person, and helps me stay in control. I recommend this to any small business that wants to keep their leads connected and never miss a call or follow-up.”
“Clients expect you to be on call all the time. My phone was nonstop before, even when I was with my family. After hours, when clients had problems and I wasn’t working, they weren’t left stranded. The AI picked up instantly, talked to clients, and provided solutions. It freed up a lot of my time and lets me focus on the important stuff. It’s reliable and handles business the way I need.”
Security & privacy
Your customers trust you with their details. Here's how we look after them.
Your data is encrypted as it travels and where it's stored. Calendar connection keys get an extra layer of encryption from us.
We don't sell your data, and we don't use your calls, transcripts or chats to train AI models.
Every call starts by saying it's your virtual assistant and whether the call is recorded. You can turn audio recording off.
Calls, chats and customer details belong to your business. We only look at a conversation if you ask us to help with it.
Disconnect Google Calendar any time, and choose which websites your chat is allowed to run on.
Email us to delete a conversation, a caller's details or your whole account, and we remove it from our systems.

Quick answers
An AI receptionist is software that answers your business phone and website chat for you, day and night. It greets callers in your business's name, answers common questions, books appointments, takes messages and sends you a summary of each conversation. Global AI Receptionist does this for small businesses, set up from your phone in about 10 minutes.
Global AI Receptionist costs $99 a month for 200 call minutes, $249 for 750 or $499 for 2,000, with a phone number and website chat included. Extra minutes are $0.25 each. You can try it with 30 free minutes and no credit card. Paid plans are month to month.
Yes. You keep your number and turn on call forwarding, either for every call, only when you're busy or only after hours. Or you pick a new number. The AI receptionist answers in your business's name, tells callers it's a virtual assistant, and takes a message or flags an urgent call for you when it can't help.
An answering service uses live people, usually billed by the minute or by the call, and is a good fit when callers need a human. An AI receptionist answers right away, 24/7, for a flat monthly price, and can book appointments while the caller is on the line. It's an AI, not a person, and it should say so.
Yes. Every call starts by saying it's your business's virtual assistant. It sounds natural and friendly, and if someone wants a person, it takes their details so your team can follow up.
No. Most businesses keep their number and turn on call forwarding: for every call, only when the line is busy, or only after hours. Or you can pick a new number in one click.
It doesn't make things up. It takes the caller's details and what they need, and you get the message right away. On plans with live transfer, it can pass the call to you instead.
About 10 minutes, and you can do it all from your phone. Choose your type of business, add your website, test it in your browser and connect your phone line.
No. Start with 30 free minutes and no card. Paid plans are month to month, and you can cancel any time.
Yes, from the Billing page. Upgrades start right away and you only pay the difference for the rest of the month. Downgrades start at your next billing date, and you can undo one before then.
You choose. Every call is transcribed so you get a summary, and audio recording can be turned off. Either way, callers are told at the start of the call.
Connect your Google Calendar and it offers callers real open times, then adds the booking while they're still on the line. Without a calendar, it takes a booking request for you to confirm.
It listens for urgent problems, marks them as urgent and sends them to you right away. On the Growth plan and up, it can also transfer the call straight to you or your team.
It reads your website for your hours, services and common questions. You can add your own notes and answers too, and change them any time.
Yes. Copy one line onto your website and the same receptionist answers visitors in a chat window, with the same knowledge it uses on the phone.
Every call and chat gets a short summary in your account: who it was, what they wanted and what happens next. New bookings and messages are emailed to you too.
Your receptionist keeps answering. Extra minutes are $0.25 each, so you never have a caller go unanswered because of a limit.
Not yet. Text confirmations are coming soon. Today it answers calls and website chats and emails you new bookings and messages.
Your data is encrypted, never sold and never used to train AI models. You can ask us to delete it at any time. See our Security page for the details.
Yes. The Growth plan includes 3 receptionists and 3 phone numbers, and Scale includes 10 of each.
No. If you can fill out a form, you can set it up. And if you get stuck, email or call us and a real person will help.
