The problem

Every call that rings out is a booking you lost. Hiring someone to answer the phone is expensive, and wiring up an AI phone agent yourself — the prompt, the call functions, the calendar, the webhooks — eats a day for every business.

The fix

Relay turns one description into a working receptionist. It picks up every call, day or night, in the caller's local time, books, reschedules, and cancels straight on the calendar — and answers questions from the business's own facts, never a guess.

Watch it built and called, end to end.

How it works
01

Import the business

Paste the website — or upload a menu or price list. AI drafts the profile and fills a knowledge base.

02

Connect the bookings

Google Calendar, Square, Calendly, Outlook, Housecall Pro, or Workiz. One sign-in.

03

Click build

Relay writes the prompt and wires the call functions, voice, and webhook. Get it a phone number in one more click.

04

It answers

Calls, bookings, changes, and questions — handled on the phone, written to the real calendar.

What it does

Answers every call

Picks up 24/7 and talks naturally. No voicemail, no hold music, no missed bookings.

Books on the real system

Checks live availability and writes the appointment where the business already works — callers can reschedule or cancel by phone too.

Knows the whole business

A knowledge base built from the website, files, and notes. Menus and prices answered verbatim; anything it can't find, it offers to have the team confirm — it never invents.

Built from a description

No prompt engineering and no call-flow builders. A website link or a few plain sentences in; a working receptionist out.

Sounds like a person

Natural turn-taking, multiple languages, optional café or office ambience behind the voice.

Knows when to hand off

A caller asks for a human, or it's out of its depth — it transfers to the business's own line, or takes a message and ends the call politely.

Plays by the rules

Won't book outside opening hours, won't invent a price, and only ever touches a caller's own appointment — verified by the phone number on the booking. Prompt-injection and jailbreak attempts hit a wall.

A real phone number

Buy a local number inside Relay in one click and the receptionist is live on it. Or point an existing line at it.

The receptionist books where the business already works — no migration, no new calendar.

Built to resell

Run a receptionist for every client you have.

Relay is built for agencies and operators who sell AI phone answering as a service. You never open an AI dashboard — describe each client's business, click build, and bill them with numbers you can defend.

One account, every client

Each client is a project: its own receptionist, knowledge base, booking connection, and phone number. Switch between them like files in a drawer.

Your Retell account, your rates

Calls run on your own Retell AI account — Relay builds and operates the agents on top of it. No middleman on the per-minute cost.

Billing you can stand behind

Minutes, calls, platform cost, and what each client owes — per month, per project. Closed months lock and never recalculate.

Where this goes

The AI does the work.
You do the magic click.

Today

Describe → build

A website link becomes a working receptionist: profile, knowledge base, booking functions, voice, phone number — assembled by AI, checked by you.

Next

It improves itself

Every call teaches the knowledge base. Transcripts get scored, weak answers get flagged, and the agent comes back sharper — without anyone editing a prompt.

The goal

One link → a receptionist

Paste a link, get a live phone number. Setup measured in seconds, for every business on the map — that's the bar we're building toward.

Questions

AI receptionist, answered.

What is an AI receptionist?

+

An AI receptionist is a virtual phone agent that answers your business calls 24/7 in a natural human voice. Relay's AI receptionist picks up every call, answers questions about your services, prices, and hours, and books appointments directly into your calendar — so you never miss a customer, even after hours.

How do I set up an AI receptionist for my business?

+

With Relay, you paste your business website and click build. Relay reads your site, writes the agent, and gives you a real phone number that answers calls — the whole setup takes about 38 seconds, with no prompts, no coding, and no dashboards to configure.

Can the AI receptionist book appointments?

+

Yes. Relay checks live availability and books, reschedules, and cancels appointments directly on the calendar you already use — Google Calendar, Square Appointments, Calendly, Outlook, Housecall Pro, or Workiz. Callers can manage their own appointment by phone too.

Which booking and scheduling systems does it work with?

+

Relay integrates with Google Calendar, Square Appointments, Calendly, Outlook / Microsoft 365, Housecall Pro, Workiz, and Vagaro — with Boulevard, Mindbody, and Dentrix on the way. There's no migration: it books where your business already works.

How much does an AI receptionist cost compared to hiring one?

+

A human receptionist or answering service costs thousands of dollars a month and only covers business hours. An AI receptionist answers every call 24/7 for a fraction of the cost, never takes a break, and never puts a caller on hold.

Is the AI receptionist available 24/7?

+

Yes. Relay answers every call day or night, in the caller's local time, including weekends and holidays — so after-hours and overflow calls turn into booked appointments instead of lost customers.

Will the AI receptionist sound like a real person?

+

Relay uses a natural-sounding voice with real turn-taking, supports multiple languages, and can play optional café or office ambience behind the voice. It answers from your business's own facts and never invents information.

Can agencies resell the AI receptionist to clients?

+

Yes. Relay is built for agencies and operators to resell AI phone answering as a service. Each client is a separate project with its own receptionist, knowledge base, booking connection, and phone number — billed with numbers you can defend, all from one account.

The phone is ringing.
