Live in production with real customers. Trained on your business before launch.

What's getting in the way today

  • You lose leads every time a call rings out or a chat goes unanswered after 5pm.
  • Your team spends hours each week on the same questions: opening hours, prices, where you're based, do you cover my area.
  • Hiring a full-time receptionist costs £25,000+ per year and only covers business hours.
  • Outsourced call answering services read scripts, miss context, and cost a fortune per minute.
  • Cheap chatbots feel robotic and damage trust the second a real customer asks anything specific.

How a Boafo AI Receptionist works

We train an AI Employee on your website, services, prices, opening hours and tone of voice. It sits inside a branded chat widget on your site and answers every visitor within seconds, day or night, weekday or weekend.

It books appointments directly into Google Calendar (Microsoft 365 on request), with confirmation emails to the customer and your team. No phone tag, no double bookings, no missed slots.

Routine questions are resolved instantly. When a conversation needs a human (a complaint, a complex quote, a VIP client), the agent captures everything the customer has said and hands a clean, qualified brief to your inbox and Google Sheets.

It works alongside any phone system. Pair it with a virtual number and call-deflection so missed calls land straight into the AI receptionist chat by SMS, recovering revenue you're losing today.

Example conversation

Customer:Hi, do you do same-week appointments? It's 9pm on a Sunday and I can't find anyone.
AI:Yes, we have slots this week. Can I grab your name, postcode and a contact number so I can hold one for you?
Customer:Sam Hughes, NW1 5LP, 07900 000000.
AI:Thanks Sam. I can offer Wednesday 10am or Thursday 2pm with our senior consultant. Which works?
Customer:Thursday 2pm please.
AI:Booked. You'll get a Google Calendar invite at the address you provide, and our team has been notified. Anything you'd like them to prepare?

Most businesses recover the monthly cost from a single extra booking captured outside office hours. The bigger win shows up over the quarter: a measurable lift in qualified leads, less time spent on repetitive questions, and zero missed enquiries on evenings and weekends.

Frequently asked questions

What is an AI receptionist?

A virtual receptionist powered by AI that answers your website chat and (with a virtual number) deflected phone calls 24/7. It greets customers, answers common questions, captures contact details, qualifies the enquiry and books appointments into your calendar without human intervention.

How is this different from a chatbot?

A chatbot follows scripts and breaks the moment a real question is asked. The Boafo AI receptionist is trained on your business, understands context, books appointments, and routes complex cases to a named person on your team with full conversation history.

How much does an AI receptionist cost?

Boafo Agent plans start at £99 per month. A part-time human receptionist typically costs £15,000 to £25,000 per year and only covers business hours. Most customers recover the monthly fee from a single extra booking captured outside 9 to 5.

Does it answer phone calls?

It answers website chat natively. For phone calls, we pair it with a virtual number that deflects missed and after-hours calls into the AI receptionist via SMS, so callers don't end up in voicemail. Full voice answering is on the roadmap.

Can it book directly into my calendar?

Yes. Boafo Agent integrates with Google Calendar today and creates the invite for the customer and your team the moment the appointment is agreed. Microsoft 365 is supported on request.

How long does setup take?

Most businesses are live within a week. We train the AI receptionist on your website, services and tone of voice, embed the branded widget, and tune the first weeks of real conversations.

Will it sound like my business?

Yes. The agent is trained on your tone, your services and your policies. It sits in a widget that uses your colours and logo, so customers feel they're talking to your business, not a third party.

What happens with complex enquiries?

The agent captures everything the customer has said, qualifies the request, and creates a clean handoff to your inbox and Google Sheets with full context. Nothing is faked or guessed.

Is it suitable for small businesses?

Yes. It's built for SMEs that can't justify a full-time receptionist but lose money every time a lead waits. Typical customers are professional services, trades, clinics, agencies, home care, recruitment, schools and consultants in the UK, US, Canada, Ireland and Europe.

Where is customer data stored?

Data is processed in line with GDPR. Conversations and lead details are stored in your tenant workspace and forwarded only to the inbox and Google Sheet you control. Nothing is sold or shared.
