Where an answering machine records a voice, the AI agent holds the conversation: name spelled, reason, number confirmed. Then everything reaches you sorted, in writing.
In your browser, no sign-up
Three situations you know well, and what changes.
Faced with a recorded greeting, some callers hang up without leaving anything.
The AI agent answers, asks the right questions and settles simple questions on the spot.
A mispronounced name, a cut-off number, a vague reason: you have to listen again.
The AI agent asks the caller to spell their name and reads the number back digit by digit before ending the call.
Messages pile up, with no way of knowing which one is urgent.
Every call arrives summarised, with the reason, what needs doing and how urgent it is.
You keep your number. Nothing to install. You create the agent yourself, online, and take back control whenever you want.
The AI agent reads your website, you choose where summaries go, you test in the browser, then you switch on forwarding from your existing line, as you would to a colleague.
The AI agent picks up your opening hours, services and prices. You review them, then add what your website doesn't say, in your own words.
The summary by email, and an SMS when a message is taken. The AI agent follows your instructions, without judging in your place.
A test call from your dashboard, in the browser. Transfers work on real calls.
From your current line, and you can switch it off at any time. You keep your number: nothing to change on your cards or your Google listing.
An example, minute by minute.
18:52 After closing, the answering machine kicks in.
18:53 A 40-second message, the number half understood.
07:45 You listen twice to catch the name.
07:50 The number is incomplete, no way to call back.
A message, but nothing to call back with.
18:52 The AI agent answers on behalf of the garage.
18:53 Name spelled out, number plate and reason noted.
18:54 Number read back and confirmed.
18:54 The SMS and the summary arrive.
All you need to call back when you open.

The same AI agent, set up for another situation.
Everything to know about the AI answering machine.
Yes: an answering machine records a voice, which you have to replay to get the information out. The AI agent structures the information during the call.
What was already said is noted and passed on. A partial message is still more useful than a recording cut off at the same point.
You do. The AI agent notes the callback number and passes the request on to you, with all the information at hand.
A written summary is always there in your dashboard. Email delivery is set in the settings: after every call, or only when an appointment is booked or a request is noted.
Forwarding to the AI agent can be set up and switched off at any time. Nothing stops you going back to an answering machine.
Connect bexio in one click: the agent recognises customers by name, every call is logged on the right record, and you approve any change to contact details yourself.
What happens between the first word on the line and the summary in your inbox, where the agent's answers come from, and what happens to your callers' data. No jargon.
Two minutes is enough to compare with your current answering machine.
