Finally: an app that answers your business phone. Here's how it works:
1. We first learn about your business from your website automatically. You can edit and add info, of course.
2. You forward calls from your business phone number to Answering Machine.
3. When someone calls your business, a kind, knowledgeable AI picks up on your behalf. Answering Machine listens well and talks in "normal" English, doing most things a trained receptionist can do: take callers through an intake flow, answer questions, take down information, triage, talk about your services, etc.

We are compatible with all U.S.-based carriers. Your first 10 minutes of test calling are included for free so you can get a feel for the AI. After the first 10 minutes of test calling, and to receive a real, unique phone number to forward your incoming phone calls to, Answering Machine membership is a month-to-month subscription. No long-term contracts or cancelation fees.

Download Answering Machine and set it up in minutes. If you want help, our California-based team will be happy to get you up and running.

Why use an AI Answering service like Answering Machine?
- Every caller happy. Stop leaking revenue to missed calls. Convert rings to transactions.
- Sayonara, 1-star reviews. Many local business reviews complain about poor responsiveness. Not yours.
- Keep your current number. No need to switch phone numbers, carriers, or anything else.

What can it do?
Imagine what a trained human receptionist would do. Most of those things, Answering Machine can do as well. Commonly: take callers through an intake flow, answer questions, take down information, triage, talk about your services, etc.

What does the voice sound like?
Human. We put deep technical craftsmanship into making the voice sound kind, knowledgable, and... like a person.

Will my callers like it?
Yes. We think traditional missed call, voicemail, and IVR/phone tree systems are so crappy that your callers will love something that works better.

Can I use it for all calls?
Yes. You can direct all inbound calls to Answering Machine, or you can have it pick up only when you don't answer first. The app contains instructions for immediate forwarding of all calls. Forwarding only missed calls, only busy calls, or based on other rules is possible. Your carrier will have instructions for how to, and we help with this as well on an as-needed basis.
