ViravanceThe AI receptionist that answers every call and books the job
Most small businesses lose sales to calls they can't pick up: after hours, at lunch, with a customer already at the counter. Viravance answers the phone in a natural voice, then does what a good receptionist does: books it, takes the order, or captures the lead for a callback.

What an AI receptionist actually does
An AI receptionist is a voice agent connected to your business: your services, products, hours and policies, and your calendar. It talks with the caller, works out what they need, and completes the action instead of just taking a message.
That last part is the difference between an answering service and a front desk. A message still needs a human to call back. A booked appointment or an invoiced order is already revenue.
- Answers every call, day or night, with no hold music and no missed rings.
- Books into your calendar (Cal.com and Google Calendar) using live availability.
- Takes orders and sends a hosted invoice the customer pays on the processor's page.
- Texts the caller a short form for anything that's hard to catch by ear, like an email address.
- Hands hot leads to your team for a callback instead of letting them go cold.
Voice and chat run on one engine
The same agent that answers your phone also runs the chat box on your website, with one set of knowledge about your business. A customer can start on your site and finish by phone, and you manage one thing, not two tools.
Your team stays in control
You decide who sees conversations. Team members sign in to a live inbox to watch chats as they happen, and the dashboard shows what the receptionist booked, sold and missed. If something needs a person, the agent captures the details so your team can pick it up.
What it costs compared with a hire
Plans start at $300 a month with conversions and voice minutes included. A full-time front-desk employee costs far more once wages, payroll taxes and benefits are counted, and covers one shift. We break the comparison down in our guide to AI receptionist vs. hiring.

Common questions
Will callers know they're talking to an AI?
The voice is natural and conversational, and the agent is curated to your business so it answers the way your front desk would. You control the greeting, so you decide how it introduces itself.
What happens when the AI can't help?
It captures the caller's details and the reason for the call so your team can follow up. Nobody is left on hold.
Can it handle my after-hours calls?
Yes. It answers 24 hours a day, so after-hours calls become booked appointments, orders or callback requests instead of missed calls.
