A new caller
needs an answer.

Frontdesk is an AI receptionist for new inbound calls. It can answer during busy or agreed hours, ask the intake questions your team needs, and route the next step under your rules.

THE JOB

Keep the phone from becoming a queue.

A caller may reach your business while everyone is serving someone else. Frontdesk is designed for inbound call handling: greet the caller, understand the request, answer approved questions, and save or escalate the next step.

Coverage hours, business knowledge, intake fields and urgent cases are agreed before a pilot. This is a distinct offer from DeadLead AI's older-lead follow-up.

THE ANSWER

A caller reaches the business.

The agent can greet a new caller with the approved opening and find out what they need.

WHERE FRONTDESK FITS

Coverage built around your team.

An AI phone answering service is useful when your people need help with a specific kind of call—not a promise that every situation should be automated.

01 / BUSY HOURS

Answer while people work.

Capture the reason for a new inquiry when staff are with another customer or on a job.

02 / AGREED HOURS

Extend intake coverage.

Use your approved hours and response rules for calls outside the team's normal availability.

03 / ESCALATION

Know when a person should step in.

Flag urgent or complex requests instead of forcing every caller through the same script.

WHAT TO MEASURE

A call is only useful if the next step works.

For a Frontdesk pilot, review the calls the agent handled, fields captured, requests escalated, records saved and whether the human readback was clear.

  • Coverage hours and approved knowledge
  • Intake fields and escalation rules
  • Saved call outcome in the agreed system
  • Human response to the routed inquiry
STRAIGHT ANSWERS

Before an AI receptionist takes a call.

Can Frontdesk use our business information?+

It should use only information you approve for the pilot. We define the allowed answers and test representative calls before expanding coverage.

Does it replace our phone system or receptionist?+

The routing depends on your existing setup. We scope Frontdesk for a defined coverage gap and keep a human path for exceptions and decisions.

Can it book appointments or update our CRM?+

Those actions depend on access to your tools and a tested integration. We do not promise a calendar booking or CRM write until it is verified end to end.
