Questions
FAQ
How quickly can we see something running?
Week three for a clickable internal demo against real data. Week six for a slice your team can actually use. We hold ourselves to those numbers because they're what stops a project drifting into "endless discovery".
Is AI receptionist worth it for a smaller Nelson?
Often, yes – and counterintuitively the ROI is sometimes faster than for the big end of town because there's less integration overhead. We'll tell you honestly on the scoping call if it isn't.
Can you walk us through a comparable build?
Yes – on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. Captures the 30-40% of enquiries that used to go to voicemail.
What tools do you build AI receptionist on?
For AI receptionist we usually reach for Vapi, Twilio, Claude, Cal.com, Stripe. We're tool-agnostic at heart – we pick what your Nelson team can actually run after we hand the build over, not what looks good on a vendor sticker.
