A 24/7 AI answering service for small business

An AI answering service picks up your business calls when you can't, at any hour, and handles them like a trained receptionist would. EverDial answers on the first ring, takes messages, answers common questions, books appointments and sends you a summary of every call, for a fixed monthly price instead of per-call fees from a human answering service.

Frequently asked questions

What is an AI answering service?

It's a service that answers your business phone with an AI agent instead of a person. It takes messages, answers questions and books appointments, and sends you a record of each call.

How much does an AI answering service cost?

EverDial plans are a fixed monthly price with call minutes included, starting at the price shown on our pricing page. There are no setup fees.

Is an AI answering service better than a virtual receptionist?

A human virtual receptionist service usually charges per call or per minute and has limited hours. An AI answering service answers every call instantly, 24/7, at a lower fixed price. For calls that need a person, EverDial can transfer them to you.

Can I keep my existing phone number?

Yes. Forward your current business number to EverDial, or get a new local number.

Can it answer only when I'm busy or closed?

Yes. Set your business hours and choose whether your own phone rings first. EverDial answers when you don't pick up or when you're closed.
