Questions
FAQ
How fast could we have AI receptionist in production?
Eight to ten weeks for most Napier-Hastings businesses. Faster if your data is in good shape and slower if we're untangling a legacy integration first. We'll give you a realistic number on the scoping call rather than the optimistic one.
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for Napier-Hastings businesses that aren't sure whether the build is worth doing at all. You get a one-page write-up of what we'd build, what we'd skip, and what it would cost. About 30% of those discoveries end with us recommending you don't proceed.
Anyone else in this space using AI receptionist?
Plenty. Captures the 30-40% of enquiries that used to go to voicemail. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" – it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.
What if our Napier-Hastings doesn't have any data ready?
Most don't. Getting the data into shape – ingestion, cleaning, the lightweight contracts you need before any model is useful – is part of the engagement. For AI receptionist specifically, we typically run that work on Vapi, Twilio, Claude, Cal.com, Stripe and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
