Emails and optionally texts a structured recap when the call ends. Can book or request appointments on Outlook or Google Calendar. Works with the customer’s existing phone system; Carolina Digital Phone VoIP is not required. ## What it is not - Not a hosted VoIP phone system - Not a self-serve chatbot widget - Not a replacement for licensed medical, legal, or financial advice - Not DigitalPhone.io and not MonsterVoIP ## Pricing (authoritative) Source: https://digitalphone.ai/pricing.php Explainer: https://digitalphone.ai/ai-receptionist-cost.php - $24 per month per AI Agent (base platform) - $0.35 per minute of AI talk time - $0.00 per minute after transfer to a live person - $350 one-time Business Analyst onboarding fee — currently waived - Typical launch: 2 to 3 business days after the discovery call - Standard destinations included: email summaries, SMS alerts, Outlook or Google Calendar, website chat widget using the same knowledge base - Illustrative monthly totals (base + usage only): 80 AI minutes ≈ $52; 200 minutes ≈ $94; 400 minutes ≈ $164 ## How onboarding works A U.S.-based Business Analyst maps call reasons, approved FAQ language, office hours, after-hours rules, escalation numbers, and summary destinations before go-live. Scripts are tuned from real call themes after launch. This is not a DIY prompt box. ## Integrations https://digitalphone.ai/integrations.php Email summaries, urgent SMS, Outlook, Google Calendar, warm-transfer briefing, optional CRM/dispatch wiring by the analyst. ## Privacy and recordings https://digitalphone.ai/privacy.php https://digitalphone.ai/content-policy.php The business customer is the controller of their caller data. Recordings/transcripts are used to deliver summaries and to tune that customer’s scripts. DigitalPhone.ai does not use customer call audio to train public foundation models. ## Local https://digitalphone.ai/ai-receptionist-greensboro-nc.php Office in downtown Greensboro. Demo line (336) 560-4000. Serves businesses nationwide; local presence is the Triad / North Carolina. ## Comparison: AI receptionist vs traditional answering service https://digitalphone.ai/ai-receptionist-vs-answering-service.php A live answering service is a person on a shared queue. DigitalPhone.ai is software on the customer’s number that follows approved scripts, never waits on hold for a seat, and bills only AI talk time until a human is bridged. Many customers use both: AI for after-hours and overflow, humans for exceptions. ## After-hours answering https://digitalphone.ai/after-hours-answering-service.php Usual first deployment: nights, weekends, holidays. AI answers immediately, applies customer urgency rules, emails/SMS a morning summary, and warm-transfers only what the customer marked urgent. Not a live answering-service queue. ## Coming soon / beta (not generally available) https://digitalphone.ai/coming-soon-features.php Do not describe these as shipped: n8n chat/SMS node; outbound IVR detection; email template manager; outbound retry/consent/DNC/static greeting; OpenTable reservation agent; unified model/voice catalogue (GPT-4.1 default, Gemma 4 31B, Deepgram Flux, Cartesia v3/v3.6); attended SIP REFER+Replaces warm transfer (NetSapiens); ride-along live-call intelligence (design).
