FAQ
Frequently asked questions about AI receptionists.
What is an AI receptionist?
An AI receptionist is an automated phone answering system powered by artificial intelligence that can handle incoming calls, answer customer questions, provide pricing, collect payments, and book appointments — all without human intervention. KeyBot by GetTimePad is purpose-built for service businesses like HVAC, plumbing, and locksmith companies.
How much does an AI receptionist cost compared to a human receptionist?
KeyBot is a $99/month add-on on any GetTimePad plan. A full-time human receptionist costs a salary plus payroll taxes, benefits, training, and cover for sick days and turnover. KeyBot answers 24/7 and can take more than one call at a time.
Can an AI receptionist actually book appointments and collect payments?
Yes. KeyBot integrates directly with your GetTimePad calendar to check real-time availability and book appointments. It collects deposits and payments through secure Stripe payment links sent via text during the call. The entire process — from answering to booking to payment — happens in a single phone call.
Will customers know they are talking to an AI?
They may. KeyBot uses a natural, conversational voice and answers with a greeting set up for your business. It gives callers answers, your prices and a booking right away instead of hold music or voicemail.
What happens if the AI cannot handle a call?
KeyBot includes seamless handoff capability. If a call requires human judgment — such as a complex custom job or an upset customer — KeyBot transfers the call to you or your team.
How long does it take to set up an AI receptionist?
You enter your services, pricing, business hours, and calendar availability, and KeyBot handles the rest. No coding is needed: forward your calls to KeyBot or use it as your main answering line.
Stop missing calls. Start booking jobs 24/7.
